I think we're slowly reaching a point where even cooking at home will no longer be cheap. Still cheaper than eating out, yes, but not cheap like it used to be.Yeah though I consider ground beef non essentials for cooking. Everything's gone up, but it hasn't exactly doubled like the average cost of lunch/dinner in restaurants. Green tea is still cheap for instance
Ground beef prices are up 12.9% and coffee prices are up a whopping 40% since last year.
