Between inflation and the astronomical rise in the cost of living, many of us are now left wondering: “What would Kevin’s grocery bill come to today?” One TikTok user, Geoffrey Lyons, did the math, and let’s just say, if Kevin was shopping today (in the US), he’d need more than a $20 bill.
Kevin’s shopping list
TV dinner
Loaf of Wonder Bread
Frozen mac and cheese
Cling wrap
Half gallon (2L) of milk
Tide laundry detergent
Toilet paper
Half gallon (2L) of orange juice
Pack of army men
Dryer sheets
After all the items are rung up, Kevin hands a $20 bill to Sally, the store clerk, spending a total of $19.83. And that’s with the $1 off coupon for the Tropicana orange juice.
So, how much would Kevin McAllister’s groceries cost in 2023? The bill would start at USD $63.73. Plus tax which would bring the total to $68.00 (after the $1.00 coupon, of course).
Lyons notes that there is a 248% percent increase in price.
