I literally just bought these three items earlier today. I spent 8.
High end of $20 is either exaggerating, or you’re buying some fancier foods than me.
These are dollar store brands. $4 milk, 4 bread, 4 eggs, $12+ tax. Location matters, so do food deserts. Last I checked, $12 was more than half of twenty.
That’s a little under $10 where I am in Seattle. No tax on food here. If I feel like driving a little bit to Target, it’s only $8. I definitely know of food deserts though. The town I grew up in only has Safeway and Walmart. The IGA closed down. Looking at prices, they are about the same as they are here which sucks because the incomes are nowhere near what they are here.
I’m alright with a week of groceries for the four of us choosing $125/wk but I know that is difficult for some.
