Food is ok. Housing is not though and neither is the cost of higher education.

Food is getting pretty bad as well. If you shop carefully it's not too bad still, and you can certainly survive, but the cost for any kind of meat is getting insane. It costs more to eat at home and buy hamburger meat, then it does to eat out.

It was $10/pound of 80% ground beef for instance. You can literally go to Jack in the Box and get 1/4 pound meat patties for 1.25$ a pop, so a full pound of fully cooked and prepared hamburger is only $5, but buying it at the store is twice that.

That being said, most places that are NOT fast food (and even many fast food places if you don't buy sides of hamburger patties and buy the actual burger) have increased prices drastically. You basically can't get a basic 1/4th burger most places for less than $5, or a simple value meal for less then $10.

Eating out, solo, is generally over $20 a pop. Getting anything delivered by uber eats is always over $30.

Even if you JUST ate out once a day, at this point that would be $600 a month.

So yeah, you can still grocery shop for $50/week if your really careful, but what you will be eating now is not nearly as good as even a year ago, and if prices keep raising your gonna see even the cheapest stuff getting expensive enough that people won't be able to live on less than $100 a week soon.
