Hey, so, groceries are expensive.
Yeah yeah, and the sky is blue, what else is new?
No, but seriously, they’re expensive. Confusingly so.
Look at this video from TikTok user @.johnyc:

“Back at it at the grocery store again,” he begins. “This may be the worst one that I’ve seen yet. Ruffles, cheddar, sour cream. $2.69.”
(Nice?)

“2 1/4 ounces. Which would mean that’s over $16 a pound. Or exactly the same price as a ribeye steak. Here in town it’s like $15.99, maybe $16.99.”

“That’s roughly between 17 and 18 dollars for a pound of a quarter of a single ******* potato. I can guarantee you one full potato is maybe three or four of these bags. Make that make sense? If you break that down, a quarter of a potato times four. Times four, you’re looking at four potatoes for the same price as a ribeye steak.”

“That’s ******* why somebody needs to be making these companies accountable for this ********. That’s crazy.”
@.johnyc Someone make this make sense #fyp #foryou #trending #viral #viralvideo
Time for a boycott?
Policies are at play here.
Inflation is a THING.
And don’t forget about all that air.
“I forgot you could weigh air” is a comment that I find oddly haunting for some reason.
