Wait until you go to the grocery store this week,. I thought I'd faint.

34. It's getting obscene

I shop deals and don't eat a lot of meat, but I am still struggling. And don't look to Wally World. I went in there yesterday as it was the only place near where I work that has organic milk and organic spring greens (I buy a 284g tub for $5 and it lasts at least a week and a half.) I was pretty outraged at the prices of everything. WalMart is NOT cheap anymore, except on highly processed food which I cannot eat more than a bit of.

I try to shop at United Grocery Outlet where all brands of bread are no more than $1.50. A month ago i bought a five pound bag of Italian-made Nonna Mima Rigatoni at UGO for $3 and that has made a lot of meals. Sav-A-Lot has good prices but they don't have any organics. Last week I hit up Kroger as it was near the area where I was working that day. They had some pretty good markdowns in the deli section and it was Senior Day. If I were a few years older, that's 10% off all groceries on Wednesday.

I am buying fruits and veggies and sunflower seeds and skipping almost everything else. Can't wait to get the garden up and running.....I feel really bad for those with kids at home.

So yeah, thanks for this thread. It's getting scary....
