PLEASE RETAIN FOR YOUR RECORDS

I created this digital illustration in a photorealistic style. The inspiration was a bit of sticker shock after a trip to the grocery store. The title is derived from the refrain at the bottom of the receipt, as well as the idea that such an expensive experience might warrant some sort of keepsake. You know — to remember the time I had... and the money I spent. Also an anthropological experiment — will these prices seem high or low in the future? The way things are going, we might rue the day groceries were ever this “cheap.”
