They're raising the prices because we're buying "frozen meals, cookies, and beer". All of that can be made at home for cheaper. Well, the beer and cookies may cost the same but they will be twice as good.

Figure out what is your biggest purchase and find the recipe for it. Pasta, Indian food, cookies, and even beer can be made at home if you know what you're doing.

Prices were lower before because everyone knew they could probably whip up something similar. If you have a bag of flour, some butter, and some sugar you can basically make half of the things at the grocery store.

I guess I don't buy frozen "meals" I buy frozen prepared meat. I eat meat everyday as my main meal. It's a lot of work to keep meat in daily servings frozen and then prepare that everyday as well. There are a few things I make that I can freeze in daily portions like shredded beef or pork, or just chicken thighs/breast that I'm just going to fry and sauce.

Premade cookies are my vice. I like switching things up and there are a bunch of different ones. Plus they're my snack that can just stay in the unsealed package so I can grab a couple anytime throughout the week. The Walmart brand are only $2.50 per package and the knock out thin mints are a good as the "real" one. 100% worth it, I can't make those. Or many of the others like store brand oreos. I occasionally get a craving for real chocolate chip cookies. So I make a huge batch and consume it in an unhealthy amount of time.
