Meijer and the pandemic hunger game

decades from now, when the words "pandemic," "COVID," and "corona" are all but forgotten, I want a visual to show my grandchildren of this tumultuous-uncertain-trying-frightening-unprecedented-unnerving-isolated time... 

 

⬆︎ this about sums up the past 6 months of my grocery life;  paper towels, produce, TP, canned goods, cleaning/laundry products.

💡! 

heeeeeyyyy... wanna play "The Pandemic Price is Right Hunger Game" and guess how much the Two-Tier Small Cart cost?

Click on the jingle while you take a zoom-in closer look... 

I'll give you a massive hint-- none of the bags contain meat or dairy. think you've guessed the grand total? then scroll down ⬇︎

did you say $165?

nope! 🙄

did you say $210?

negatory! 😲

you went higher? 

"$325?" you shock-whisper...

WRONG AGAIN!! 👀

that cart, without meat or dairy, cost: $359.56(!!). ðŸ¤‘

*sputter-gasp-cough-choke*

let's be honest, if those bags contained any meat or dairy products, the shock-and-awe price tag would've been $gazillion.56. #sheesh

btw... I hate (and loathe) to be the bearer of even worse news, but... regular flu season has begun, and there's a hum-dinger of an election coming up. just sayin', it miiight be the right time to apply at the World Bank Group for that loan... 

to purchase meat and dairy.
