Ha ha ha if it weren't so sad it would be funny. Normies waking up to what the poor have known for decades.
My house had breakfast today. One egg from our hens, a piece of Pepperidge farm toast because I'm a bougie bitch, but it lasts like a month for one loaf at $5 each. Then 2 links of sausage, not from our piggies, but soon...
I bought the bread at Walmart, the eggs obviously came from my hen's ass, and the sausage was bought at a discount shop where you have to know the food to buy it and not die. In a pinch an egg and tea would do of course.
This is by no means our family's typical breakfast. Usually, it's cold cereal given to us free by our daughter who gets it "Where?" and milk from the local small dairy we frequent. For me, usually an egg or two with cheese on occasion.
My point, we are currently supplementing about a third of our food costs and it is still outrageous. As the season rolls on, we will probably get to 60% supplementation. Fall and winter will hit us hard, so that is why I have been canning like a mad woman. I don't expect to have the funds to buy food then at all.
This is one of the reasons a lot of people go hunting in Pennsylvania. Fill up their freezer with meat for the year during hunting season. In BC, people buy salmon from natives to fill up their freezer. Growing up our freezer was full of homegrown vegetables, and greens.
