Low-cost carriers have to earn money too, and they often do so with significant add-on fees, which can drive that seemingly low price to new heights. Just look at Spirit Airlines as a prime example.

The weekly chore of driving to the store, pushing a cart down all of the aisles while trying to remember exactly what you need - and also keeping an eye out for the best deals - these are things of the past.
