My weekly food list is simple, fresh produce, eggs, butter, milk, cheese, and fruit. My monthly buys are to replace the pantry items I have used. I have six months of pantry items stored at all times so I don't have to buy anything for six months if it came to that. My husband buys the meats, he's picky about his meats. I wanted to replaced some can soup we like and it has gone up from $1.49 to $2.50. . I won't be surprised if it goes to $5 a can if available in a few months.
