Grocery Prices Have Ruined Cooking For Me!

These prices even cause me to dread going grocery shopping, I now just shop the basics to get through as many weeks as possible.

I used to love making meals from different countries and cultures but now my shopping list is survival foods like bread, eggs, milk, cheese, whatever meats on sale, whatever produce is on sale et cetera

I feel very down about it because I grew up with food insecurity and would go days without eating and looked forward to “growing up” and being able to make what I wanted. But it’s just not feasible right now.

Any tips, tricks, coping mechanisms?
