The cost of food has definitely risen here, but prices are still a fraction of what's been posted in this thread.

Maybe getting castreau out of office would be a good first step if you dont like the direction your country is taking; you reap what you sow. Anyone living in a 1st world country claiming to be "priced out of meat" has a shit job that doesnt contribute fuck all to the society you live in.

Usually their cost of living is lower than near cities. Which is problematic because the wages in those areas also tend to be lower (which balances out the lower COL). But now the cost of living is skyrocketing for them as a bunch of urbanites and shitty politicians playing with other peoples' money try to force a one-size-fits-all environmental and transportation pipe dream on the rest of them.

Is ALL soup becoming luxury soup due to food price inflation, /ck/? I thought it was just a Canadian meme, but after checking the ultra-low-end Walmart soups that I used to eat when I was poor, it seems like prices have gone up a lot. They are generally selling for $1.50 to $2; my previous recollection from a few years ago was that they were closer to 50 cents each. You could often buy a little cardboard palette of them in a "twenty for ten" deal; this is something I recall specifically.

For people on the economic margins, that represents a noticeable hit. What is going on here? This is in the south (I left the generic location information in the image). Is this a nationwide trend?

This is just one step of further putting more people into poverty or nearing it.
Then they will "crash" the current banking system(s) and money with it and issue programmable central banking digital currencies (CBDC).
This money is then tied to your new government assigned digital ID and people are most likely lured in with free money as a sort of salvation from their economic troubles.
Thus the central banks along with government can fully dictate your life including what you can and cant buy - think of meat quotas per month or you can only buy from X stores that are most likely ESG certified WEF pawns putting private mom&pop stores out of business.
Remember how some canadian truckers from that protest had their bank accounts frozen by government? That was in supposedly "democratic" country.

We have WAY more livestock than you, my dude. Do you have any idea how much larger Canada is than Ireland? The reason our prices are high is not that we have a lack of livestock, it's that our food distribution is run by literal cartels that engage in price fixing. Farmers can only sell a certain amount of produce/livestock at a certain price in a certain period of time (it's mandated by law) and then once it reaches the grocery store there are only 3 actual companies (they run different brands of grocery stores so it looks like there are more, but there are actually only 3) that all collude with each other. It straight up came to light they were price fixing bread for over a decade and they were formally punished for it - the fine was to give everyone a $2 coupon for bread. I shit you not, there was no real consequence whatsoever. That's a recurring theme of this shithole country - people in power never face consequences for anything. We have no rule of law, no legal system, no accountability.
So yes, the in-store prices are terrible. They're just as bad in South American nations where the government is corrupt and let cartels run the country. It's a product of the system.

I live in a normal state in a normal town with plenty of grocery stores and food prices are "normal" here. You know, $4 a gallon of milk, Something like $8-9/lb for ground beef, bag of chips is like $6 when not "2 for $6 Must Buy Two".

I rely on foodstamps to be able to afford food even though I live in a trailer with a room mate paying half the bills so you know, it's getting rougher. I even try to avoid junk food, about the only junk food I'll really buy is energy drinks and some times a pre-made deli sandwich from safeway (They use an entire fucking loaf of french bread for the sandwich and it's only $9, $6 if you get them on sale).

Shit sucks, all I'm saying.
