Americans are ‘hunkering down’ and buying less food as inflation bites, one grocery giant says—instead they’re raiding their freezers

Don’t know about anyone else but I no longer shop at regular supermarkets for most of my food. It’s mostly Aldi and home prepared meals for us now. We are pretty well off financially but I refuse to pay outrageous amounts for big brand products any longer. I’d rather save the money and use it on a nice family vacation.

Some people are so greedy.

I recently found out that after 55 you can withdraw from your 401K without penalties if you lose your job.

It has (I recently turned 55) given me a peace of mind I have never known before. If I get fired, I know it will not be the end of my world, and have my wife’s health insurance to fall back on.

Crazy how we live so many years with this specter of doom hanging over us.
