I just got diapers according to the store it was a great discount, they where from the stores own brand (not even a “premium” brand)
Anyway I paid 26 cents per diaper (for my daughter)
When my son was born 6 years ago I paid 12 cents per diaper.
Every government chart about inflation is just not accurate for your groceries. The official inflation numbers tell me it’s about 25% inflation, but in reality for a lot of things it doubled.
The CPI has been changed a number of times over the past 5 decades, each change lowering the rate. By the old rate just in 2008 social security checks would be on average some 1,200 more a month.
Aldi is your best bet if nearby. More than 50 a week outside of rice and beans meals but you will not go through 50 a week of cereal. Admittedly their granola is lacking, but it is hard to find good granola anywhere.
Other stores here are approaching $10 (!) for a bag of granola with minimal add-ins, Aldi is a little plainer but it’s a no-brainer when the same size there is like $3.
$10? Jesus. Many of these big box or City grocery stores have always had really high prices especially on some Goods. All of the name brand cereals are especially High everywhere, Kellogg’s and Post Cereal are like twice as high as the generic brands. Which for things like Raisin Bran are about the exact same cereal. Granola is the only one I have noticed a quality difference on.
I sort of quit milk for the past 18 months or so but if I get back into it, whole milk in the winter tastes really good when you work outside, I might just make my own granola. And by 50 lb bags of grain if I can find them.
Where the fuck is this guy buying a week’s groceries for $50? My kids eat more than $50 in cereal per month.
maybe uh, maybe don’t buy a bunch of overpriced cereal?
Well yeah if they eat $40 worth of sugar a month, it can get pretty expensive
sounds unhealthy, NGL

Obviously you arent familiar with the wood and paint chip hack
Just start grinding down the foundations of your home and add the sawdust to your rice crispy treats for some extra filling
Have them eat oatmeal with fresh berries and (plain) yoghurt instead of industrially processed sugary garbage.
Overnight oats are a game changer. Even if my nephew makes them super sweet, it’s still only like a quarter of the sugar of cereals.
Lookin back this is irrelevant
