I am upper middle class. A friend of mine, who is wealthier than I, were talking about being able to afford groceries. Not organic groceries, not special local grass fed beef or anything silly like that. A family of four is paying about 1k a month in groceries to eat "reasonably" well. In that I am including things like dog food and detergent, but still this is a ridiculous number.
Inflation, on paper, might be okay, but each week I find myself curtailing our grocery selection more and more, simply to maintain the budget at status quo.
Inflation may be slowing, but it's still bad, and it is much worse for many more people than it is for me.
