I was talking with hubby just yesterday about prices of everything including food. I can remember 2 years ago buy groceries for us and it costing me about $150 and today for the same stuff it runs closer to $350 a 200% plus increase from two years ago.
Oh tell me about it I spend $300+ a week in the store and it is just my wife, son and I. And I go between Sams, Aldi's and Krogers each week and I save quite a bit by buying in bulk. And with me on these steroids it is really driving up the bill because I am craving proteins like Fish, Steak, Chicken and Shrimp Po'boys! (YUM)
I started the thread about the prices a while back and the other day I bought up 2 more cases of peanut butter (Kroger brand honey roasted) so that gives me 11 cases total of the real big jars in my pantry. That should hold me till the beginning of the next year when prices settle back again. My wife did read that Mississippi had a bumper crop of peanuts this year so hopefully that will bleed into the works and the prices will drop accordingly.
