buying groceries feels like a luxury now

Okay, legit, who else feels like just existing is burning a hole in their wallet rn? Went to the grocery store today and almost had an existential crisis in the produce aisle. Avocados? A *single* bell pepper? It's giving 'I need a second job just to buy kale'. Remember when we could just grab snacks without doing complex mental math? Simpler times. Now it's instant noodles or debt. Send help and cheap recipe ideas plz 😭 #GroceryInflation #BrokeGenZ #AdultingIsAScam #FoodPoverty

FR THO. I swear every time I go, my cart looks the same but the total just keeps climbing. It's like they're charging extra for the *audacity* of wanting fresh fruit. My budget went from 'balanced meals' to 'can of beans and hope for the best' real quick. 😭 #SaveMe

My diet is 70% instant noodles and 30% existential dread. We are *living* the struggle. Saw a bag of organic kale for like $7 today and almost laughed myself out of the store. Like, who even IS that rich? #RamenLife #RIPMyWallet
