Reading this thread, I think Capitalism may be in crisis in 2022.
When I was young, foodbanks had not been thought of. Generally, one wage was sufficient to keep a household.
Rough sleepers did exist, often casualties of WW2 and soup kitchens were in existence.
My main outgoings this year (as last) will be rates, tax, heating and a couple of medical aid charities. Discretionary spend is kept to a minimum. My wife went shopping for milk at the coop today and came back with some yellow stickered choux buns as well. I wouldn't have been tempted - make a list before going and stick to it, obviously if free range organic turkeys were 1/2 price, that would be different.
