Rant: I spent $60 on groceries in 1998 and ate like a king for a week, now $60 barely covers three dinners

$60 barely covers three dinners" hits different when you look at what happened to portion sizes at the same time. A chicken breast in 1998 was like 6 ounces and that was a big one. Now they pump them up to 10 ounces with salt water so you're paying by weight for water, then you eat one and wonder why you're still hungry since half of it cooked off. Same deal with a bag of chips, used to be 16 ounces, now it's 11 and the bag looks the same size because they puff it with air. So yeah prices went up, but you're also getting less food for that higher price and most people don't even notice it.
