It's crazy in the UK too. About 15+ years ago I could eat for £15 a week fairly decently. Now to be able to eat properly it would require more like £50 a week if you want enough vegetables and some basic protein sources. That doesn't even include extras like toilet paper.
I was grocery shopping myself today, and a family block of chocolate was $16(Aus). I had a very sobering thought that I might have taken my last ever bite of the stuff and may never have it again.
I bought a ton of canned food over the last few years so I should be ok, but some of my friends scoffed at me when I told them they should do the same because prices will hike up like crazy. Well who's laughing now?! Not me, I'm too hungry.
It will only make us stronger. Its for our own good. /s
