Grocery Bill : Ninety - Two Dollars Too much

 The fact that the cost of groceries have gone up is unfortunate case of the chicken and the egg. 

Literally, what happened first? Did the chicken get what the cows had? Did the eggs break on the way to the store? Or did the farmer have no workers to work on his farm? Did the corporation shut down because the only way to save money was to work less days and have everyone go part-time? 

Whatever the excuse is, groceries cost more. A Lot More! A recent trip to the grocery store because I had a coupon cost me a lot of money. 

I did not get alcohol. 

I did not get paper products. 

I did not get cleaning supplies. 

I did not get milk or eggs. 

I even tried to use a coupon but, there was some confusion about the type of orange juice that would work for the coupon. Every time I used the mobile phone app to see which orange juice to buy I got an "no deal available for this product" message which was confusing at best. 

The whole point of my jaunt to the grocery conglomerate was because I was going to save $3 on a whole roasted chicken. That chicken was barely 2 pounds and it still cost $8.99 because it wasn't the right type of roast chicken that is eligible for the $3 off coupon. 

Honestly, throwing a fit in the grocery store isn't a fun thing in the least. 

Maybe I should be mad about the nearly $3 I got taxed on the food. 

Yes, that was an extra three dollars of TAX and still food recalls happen every day. Farmers are able to manage their farms and people are starving.
