I wonder what inflation is on a flexible grocery budget. If you buy protein, carbs, fiber, vitamins, all enough for a family of 4, but don't just buy the same shopping cart regardless of price.

I haven't been eating eggs for months. It's not a big deal for me. Production will catch up and prices will go down again.

I'm not a fan of alcohol. I think it's stupid how ubiquitous it is. But even I can see the only way to manage it is like with tobacco. Just a simple extra sales tax.

I'm a bigger guy and blow out the crotches in pans and the soles of shoes unusually fast. So I spend my time on /r/bifl or in the thrift store for heavy duty pants and durable shoe recommendations.

I think there's a correlation between "people who wear clothes out fast" and "people who are interested in clothes that don't wear out fast." Makes sense, no?

People who don't blow out their stuff fast won't have as much of a reason to be on this sub
