I mean for what it’s worth, as my income has gone up I’ve chosen more expensive ingredients for cooking. Usually those things are more local anyway, like at my local farmers market or food co-op.

I "splurged" on some local made bread the other day. By god, it's the best bread I've ever had.

Same here, but within the past year or so we've had to reverse course so we can stay within our grocery budget.

Here's hoping pay goes up and grocery prices stagnate

I’m not gen Z but I did similar as my earnings went up as a millennial. I’d rather make my own food with better ingredients for the sake of my health than buy “luxury” goods that are often just overpriced trash
