Too Much Money

I went grocery shopping earlier. I bought enough to last for a few days, and nothing extravagant, yet even with the small discount for using my own canvas shopping bags in lieu of the landfill crowding plastic bags, it still totalled seventy bucks. Yikes!

It's hard to believe that food can cost so damn much for so damn little. The cost of meat has gone through the roof. I bought a couple of pounds of ground chuck and a small package of chicken breast. Hardly expensive cuts of meat. Add a few fresh veggies and a small amount of fresh fruit, and the cost is unreal.

I'm usually pretty good at eating on the cheap so I was a little surprised at the total bill. Oh well, one has to eat.

No food prices have definately gone up.  Especially meat and dairy.  How many 12 packs did you buy?  lol

Actually I didn't buy any beer at the grocery. Just food. As long as fuel prices keep going up food will keep going up as well.

Yeah, food prices are nuts everywhere.  Meals out, even for quick serve places like Chick Fil A are relatively expensive.

On the plus side, I should be able to lose weight more easily thanks to cutbacks in consumption related to a tightening of my wallet's belt

The last two times we've been grocery shopping, we couldn't believe the amount our stuff totaled up to. One of the times, it didn't even seem like we bought that much.

Yeah, won't be long and you'll be able to carry out a hundred bucks worth of groceries in your pocket.
