Just did the weekly shop, and jesus fuck! At this point I'm seeing a $20-$40 per week increase, and that's with substitutions for lower priced items or just plain going without.

I feel like I'm going insane when I see an item I bought a week ago suddenly double the price.

I'd spend less if it wasn't difficult for me to get to the got dang Aldi

They are looking into home delivery but it won't be for awhile.
