I just got back from grocery shopping; I cannot believe how expensive everything is. I spent $171 on everyday crap!!!! Now I'm trying to figure out where I can cut back. I'm kicking myself for encouraging the girls to be "good eaters" They expect protein, veggie and starch for lunch and dinner, along with a couple of healthy snacks throughout the day. I'm sure they would gladly eat junk but I just can't bring myself to stuff them with candy and chips. They're great treats, but not all the time! I wonder if eating out everyday would be cheaper. We would also die a lot younger, that is cost effective as well! Really though, I think we are just going to have to eat more seasonally, meaning not so much fruit and veggies in the winter and cutting back on dairy products. Milk and cheese cost as much as meat these days. I have heard that the price of food has gone up 6% this last year. I believe it.

yfbsftqI just got back from grocery shopping. We should have gone together. It was my first "outing" in a week. Would have been fun with a friend. :0)
We just did a grocery trip and bought the same stuff we buy all the time with the exception of different produce and meats. We can normally get 2 weeks worth of food for $100 but this time was $170! I swear prices JUST went up again. And this was Winco. Gar! ;)
