  • It was a survey measuring a bunch of things, not sure why that was the metric they focused on for the headline though.

    "Since the start of the pandemic, grocery prices have risen 25%, the report also found.

    Some consumers have had to sacrifice necessities to afford food, the personal finance company found.

    That includes 28% who sacrificed other needs like rent or bills to pay for groceries, and 27% who occasionally skipped meals. Additionally, 18% have either applied for or considered applying for food stamps, while 15% rely on or have considered turning to food banks.

    Yet, 53% indicated they earn too much to qualify for food stamps or other government assistance but still have difficulties paying for necessities.

    While most consumers report noticing higher grocery costs,51% have also seen increases in gasoline prices; 39% said other bills like cable, electricity and internet have spiked; 27% said housing costs have gone up; and another 27% said dining out costs have risen."

















  • Yeah it’s Nathan for you. In this episode he goes to a food place that always has really long lines and proposes they let people with a really good reason cut the line. The guy on the right made up an excuse to cut the line, so they told him he was the 1000th customer and he won a prize (can’t remember exactly what it was, but it was to get him out on the boat), then they had a fake family shame him once he was out on the boat.
