Aldis, I’d starve if it wasn’t for you. Everything still went up, but at least it wasn’t 50% more like other grocers.
In the USA and (most, if not all of) Canada, calling 211 should connect you with a call center which can give information on food benefits, utility assistance and other resources available in your area. Eligibility and the amount of assistance (whether in the form of direct payments, food items or a payment card that only works for food) will vary based on your location, income, etc. but it may help offset those increased costs.
There’s no shame in it despite what the red-hat golden bootstraps crowd will tell you. Times are tough right now for a lot of people and that’s what these programs are for.
Back to the regularly scheduled shitposting though.

The heavily fucked olive oil has a fantastic viscosity to it, and guarantees slick yet sticky cooking surface.

Also it tastes like penis which Robert California approves of.

Fwiw, the cheap olive oil is really good for mayo you make yourself. EVOO should be used for things like salads and bread, where the taste makes the difference.
If you want oil in a pan, cheap stuff works just fine…only you have to be careful because olive oil in the states isn’t always olive oil.
