(14,642 posts)We are eating the same as we did before, except that my husband is skipping his $10/week Saturday morning breakfast. It doesn't cost us $10 to make breakfast, so it should be a win for us, right? And we'd go out after haircuts once/month for about $35. Dinner doesn't cost us $35 to cook. So that should be a win for us too. We tend to rotate the same meals, so no difference there. The difference is that grocery prices have gone way up. That's in the store. The online grocery prices are ridiculous now, even at places where they used to beat the local prices.
Other prices have as well. We ordered a new SDD for a computer a month ago and that same SDD is $20 more now.
Know what hasn't gone up? Interest in our meager savings account. It's just pennies every month now. I guess we're lucky we have anything at all in there.
