00:00You may have noticed already, but groceries have risen to historically high prices, and shoppers are feeling the crunch.
00:07Some stores are much more expensive than others, but sometimes consumers don't really have a choice as to where they
00:12shop.
00:13I don't really have the ability to travel too far, so it's not like I can just pick and choose
00:16what grocery store I go to.
00:18Aldi is a good option. It's nearby, but I couldn't have gotten the wedge today, that's for sure. Or Kowalski's.
00:23And many have had to make modifications to their routine.
00:26I have a tier system. I go to Costco first. Anything I can't get at Costco, I try and get
00:30at Aldi.
00:31And then anything I can't get there, I'll just pick whatever's the most convenient, be it Cub, Lunds, Byerly's, Kowalski's.
00:37I was trying to be conscious of not spending a lot of money today, so I had $11 in cash,
00:42$18 in my checking, so I had to make do.
00:46I'm not going to spend, you know, $40 on a couple of movie tickets or a couple of tickets to
00:51a game or something like that.
00:52But I don't want to run up any more money on my credit card, so, you know, yeah, I'm just
00:57trying to be responsible, and I just spend most of my money on food. It sucks.
