When I was a kid, my mom spent $200 at the grocery store to feed our 7 person family for the week. 25 years later, I am spending more than that just to buy food for myself. I honestly don’t know how most people make it. I’m lucky and have a good career. Can’t imagine what it would be like without it.

Just for a reference, in Brazil, $200 is a 2-person monthly grocery expense - except that our minimum wage is a bit over $200. So, if in a home one is unemployed, they'll have to make choices. 

I also don't know how they make it. The inflation is just hitting the US, we, on the "developing world", are almost used to it.. like, it's so common it doesn't even surprise us anymore.

Idk how argentinians live, for example.
