The High Cost of Grocery Shopping: How Are You Coping?
I’m sure I’m not the only one who’s noticed that grocery prices have skyrocketed over the past few years. A trip to the local grocery store can easily set me back $40, making me wonder why I didn’t just opt for Uber Eats instead.
The struggle is real
Living in New York City with my partner, we try to avoid the local stores since they tend to overcharge for everything. But sometimes, we forget to plan ahead and end up making a last-minute dash to the grocery store down the street. We’re not perfect, and it’s hard to resist the convenience of delivery apps when we’re short on time.
The temptation is real
We’re not alone in this struggle. Many of us are finding creative ways to cope with the rising cost of groceries. Maybe you’re a young person living in a big city, struggling to make ends meet and having to be strategic with your grocery runs to fit your budget. Or perhaps you live in a rural area where the nearest grocery store is an hour away, and you have to plan your shopping trips carefully to save time.
The challenges of rural living
Maybe you’re a new parent, and your cooking and shopping habits have completely changed. You might be buying ingredients for easy meals now that you don’t have the time to cook elaborate dishes. Whatever your situation, we want to hear from you.
