Avocado toast jokes hide what's really going on with food costs

I mean, everyone blames trendy eats, but the real deal is how grocery prices have shot up. It's not about avocados, it's about the whole store.

Yeah, my grocery receipt looks like a prank now. They keep talking about avocado toast, but a box of cereal costs like eight bucks and eggs are back to being a luxury item. It's the whole cart, not just one fancy topping.

A single bell pepper for four dollars is actually crazy. I saw that and just put it back.

Wait, a box of cereal is eight dollars now? That's insane. @ruby659 is right, it's the whole cart. I saw a single bell pepper for four bucks last week. The avocado toast jokes are just a way to ignore how bad it's gotten for normal stuff.

Yeah, the "whole cart" thing is exactly it. I grabbed stuff for basic lunches last week and the total made me double check. It's not just one weird item, it's everything adding up.
