yep. It is getting harder to budget. I had a 1.8 pound roast for the past few days. I was thinking as I was eating the last piece that maybe I should start eating half of the portion I really do to make it go further. Thinking of adding in more pinto beans and the like in. It is not just the food, but property taxes, mine are going up 35% in one year. I know the tax cuts meant less aid to the states. yep. I sure did not benefit from those tax cuts on the federal level. I have been retired for 10 plus years and thought after working 40 some years in good paying job and being careful with my money, that I would be fine in retirement. But it is getting a bit tougher as prices of everything have increased so much.
On an up note, I was able to grow a rather impressive stash during my working years including thread and sewing machines. So I am good there and am finding it was a really good investment as most of the fabric was good quality at half the price it is now.
