Coping With Soaring Grocery Prices in MN: Insights From Local Shoppers

THAT COST HOW MUCH?!

Groceries seem to be incredibly expensive these days. Is it because they need to be, or because retailers know we will pay the price? Does it depend on the item? Of course, we are going to buy what we need, but how many of you are having a tough time trying to feed your crew? Are you cutting back on certain things? Are you buying more of the essentials, or are you making treats for the kids instead of buying premade treats?

We asked YOU what you spend on groceries. If you want to find out if you're in the ballpark with the rest of us, here are the comments we received yesterday.

QUESTION OF THE DAY? HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU SPEND ON GROCERIES, ON AVERAGE? 

Kelly - $150 a week approximately, but that doesn't count the pet foods and supplies like litter which I also get at the grocery store. Those weeks it's more like $240.

Katie - Too damn much. Vote in someone who is not senile.

Penny - Way too much thanks to Biden.

Jacob - We raise our own meat and can our own veggies, so about $500 a month on alcohol. LOL!
