groceries have definitely been pushing the limits of my budget a lot more. even at the height of the covid shortages i could pretty comfortably get a month's worth of food & necessities without breaking 200$ now it easily takes around 350$ to cover the same lifestyle. the largest negative is that i feel like i'm being pushed towards unhealthier dietary habits both by price hikes and by the need to work more hours to compensate. i can get about a week's worth of ramen and toaster strudel for the same price as 2 days worth of chicken breasts.
