How much you pay for groceries can often depend on where you live. We can scrimp and save as much as we want to, but if you live in NYC, there's no way you're not paying more for groceries than someone from Nebraska. That is unless you live in a super rural area of Nebraska, and in that case, you might be paying way more than you should for basic foodstuffs. I wish that we could all be paying Aldi prices at every grocery store, but that, unfortunately, cannot be. Whether we like it or not, supply and demand continue to exist, and when the supply is low, the prices shoot up.

A couple who live in one of the northernmost regions of Canada recently went viral after sharing the grocery prices at their "relatively cheap for the region" grocery store. I, like many others, am hoping they pay a buffalo nickel in rent because these are the highest grocery prices I've ever seen, Canadian currency or not.
