Not only are prices going up, but supply is going down. There was no canned cat food at the store today. Luckily, I have a little and my cats will eat dry. I have been cooking for the animals at times in order to clean up the freezer and save money.
The tri tip roast I cooked for a friend last week was $10 a pound before it was on sale. Yikes! I see steaks at $20 a pound, but haven't purchased any.
I am cooking for a family from the women's shelter a mother with five little ones. I try not to think what that runs every week. Just once a week, but I try to make a nice meal. The shelter is totally full and this young mother has been placed in another location. If I can do anything to make her life easier, I will.
