Pattie Gonia’s Latest Climate Stunt Could Cost You at the Grocery Store—Here’s Why Your Wallet is at Risk
The drag queen environmentalist is back in the headlines, and this time her viral call to “cancel plastic” is hitting your weekly budget hard. When Pattie Gonia urged her millions of followers to ditch single-use packaging, major retailers quietly rolled out higher prices on “sustainable” alternatives. The result? Your grocery bill just jumped by 12% in cities where eco-influencers have the most sway. Consumer advocates warn that while Pattie’s intentions aim to save the planet, the hidden costs are being passed directly to your debit card. Don’t let the trend guilt-trip you into paying more for basic staples—unless you want your pantry to double as a luxury statement.
