A new law will ban retailers from using shoppers' personal data to hike grocery prices. But consumer advocates argue that it contains far too many loopholes that companies could exploit.
two thumbs up! I started a #nobuy lifestyle about a year ago. I only buy essentials. Gas, (because I live in a car-centric hellscape) food basics, and soda water because I quit alcohol and it helps. That’s it. I repair my clothes and thrift shop if I just have to have something “new”. My food bill is still 30-40% higher even after cutting out everything extra but I refuse to pay $7 for a bag of chips. I was in a Dollar General the other day for cat food, and a 12 pack of Sprite was $9. $9! at the dollar store. Ridiculous!

hugs for quitting alcohol
I know it’s hard, but you’re still with us, and hopefully without liver issues, or cancer. One day at a time.
