“Well, the data is quite clear…Millennials and Gen Z are spending twice as much on groceries all of a sudden. And, as I’m sure you are all well aware, THERE IS NO INFLATION! So the only explanation is young people being irresponsible.”

If he just grew his hair out and put on the respirator he wears when nor on camera it’d be impossible to tell the difference.

The real question is which son is Beau and which is Hunter?

Was anybody confused by this? Hunter is Rictus Erectus, obviously.

honestly it’s barely even contemptibly ghoulish, just mind-nummingly inept ‘journalism’. a silly small-sample survey, half-remembered items from the last time she grocery shopped, & a text to the coffee boy. i’ve done more research for a book report lmao

Not even two weeks ago MSNBC had an article which similarly criticized millenials and gen z for spending on short-term purchases which included groceries. Fuck these fucking capitalist ghouls and cheerleaders.

It’s inexplicable why gen Z and millenials are focusing on short-term purchases instead of investing in real estate. I blame the YOLO mindset.

The reason that the rich were so rich, Vimes reasoned, was because they managed to spend less money. Take boots, for example. … A really good pair of leather boots cost fifty dollars. But an affordable pair of boots, which were sort of OK for a season or two and then leaked like hell when the cardboard gave out, cost about ten dollars. … But the thing was that good boots lasted for years and years. A man who could afford fifty dollars had a pair of boots that’d still be keeping his feet dry in ten years’ time, while a poor man who could only afford cheap boots would have spent a hundred dollars on boots in the same time and would still have wet feet.

The sad part is that the ‘good’ boots don’t even last years and years anymore.

One 23-year-old Gen Zer told Business Insider by text that he spends about $130 for a week and a half on groceries. “Fancy sodas and drinks” and “random snacks at Trader Joe’s” account for the bulk of the bill. He also said he spent about $35 on protein bars.

$660 a month on groceries is high but really not the issue. No mention of rent, healthcare, education (student loans) etc.

The typical American household now needs to spend $445 more on groceries a month to purchase the same amount of goods they were spending a year ago, according to a report from Moody’s.

Last para btw

Not sure how you arrived at $660 a month. $130 for a week and a half’s worth of food, assuming it’s $130 each subsequent week and a half of course, would be $346.67 a month.

I’m also assuming the $35 of protein bars is part of the $130 every 1.5 weeks. If it’s extra then that’s $440 monthly.

Yea my dumbass didn’t notice the half part. Either way, my point stands.

Agreed. Except ~$350 a month isn’t a lot for groceries anymore.
