Well, with the stupid inflation and the skyrocketing prices at the grocery store, I can't justify doing that anymore, it's become ridiculous with most of the stuff I used to buy being up between 50% and 100% over where it used to be. So I bought different types of bread/rolls, lunch meat, etc to make lunches.
Yesterday, I stopped at the store to get a few more things because I like to have a good variety of stuff because I get bored of eating the same thing over and over. I wanted to pick up some jam/jelly because every now and again, I like a good PB&J sando and the ingredients will last forever when stored right. We already have peanut butter at home, so I just needed jelly. My favorite is raspberry. It's been awhile since I have bought any and I was just stunned at the price. The larger sized jar of raspberry jam was $10. For jam. Un-fucking-believable. I went with the smaller jar and that was still $5.50.
