Our neighborhood grocery store was bought out by Robért and the busybodies will not give it a rest even though it’s been like 2-3 years and the new store is awesome.

Every so often I post “sorry you’re poor” or “sorry you can’t afford it” and then log off and never come back to see the melt

I have never understood this brag.

"Look! I just paid 4.99 for a bottle of ketchup at Robért." I could have gotten it for $2.49 a mile down the road, but...Robért."

I'm like, "You see my new boat? That $500 a month extra you give Robért for groceries? I send it to the bank as a boat payment."

How much do you spend on groceries that there is a $500 difference with maybe a 10% increase.

What a weird thing to melt over. The store before it was just as expensive yet not as nice. The olds just don’t like change.

I doubt I spend anywhere near $500 on groceries any month no matter where they came from, much less it being the difference from one to the other.
