Millennials are also becoming parents for the first time. That means they spend on themselves, their partners, and their children. It's a notable shift from 2018 when older generations like baby boomers and Gen Xers still spent more on groceries than millennials.
Gen Z, meanwhile, says the money they choose to spend on high-quality snacks and beverages makes for expensive grocery bills.
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.

To be clear I'm not saying people aren't feeling a crunch from higher prices. They obviously are. I just think this article is kind of clickbaity.

It's as if gen z people are grocery shopping for the first time and realizing that there are cheap and expensive ways to buy groceries, with items having multiple price points depending on brand and type.

I think it says more that they are seeing these price differences and still choosing to buy the higher priced items.
