Do you notice the price of your favorite grocery items going up? Do you buy them anyway or find a cheaper version?
We only shop sales and with coupons.
However, I will have to agree, unfortunately, nothing that I have had tastes better than
real CocaCola. It is the best, otherwise, give it a try. It won't hurt anything, especially
Your wallet !! ;)
I walk in the market and look for the mark-down sections,first. I buy whatever there I can/will use. After that, I buy only what I need. One market, farther away is cheaper than my local store chain. I buy staples there.
Also, I'm getting ready to make my own deodarant, dish soap, and shampoo. I'm sick of the high prices, the plastic, and the fact that they keep changing something that works and charge more for less product.
To heck with it -- I'm going to make my own! Cheaper, better for me, and no packaging.
Quoting brandi185:
Quoting mstevens10:It's only going to get worse.. Corn prices came out and it's significantly higher (60% higher than in June) because the drought didn't allow the corn to produce. A few ears back Congress passed an act which required that gasoline producers blend 15 billion gallons of ethanol into the nation’s gasoline supply by 2015.The ethanol requirements have triggered the rise in food costs and
spreading it to the price of gasoline, which is up almost 40 cents since the start of July. Because of this... half of the crops are devoted to going to fuel instead of peopels mouths. It's a simple supply and demand... We're going to demand way more than can be supplied so prices will soar. It's just going to be a ripple effect.actually the corn used for ethanol is cow and chicken and maybe pig food. it is yellow corn not sweet yellow corn. it is not grown for humans to eat. the corn prices of what humans eat are going up because of the drought. you may see a rise in the prices of meat and maybe eggs because of feed corn also going to ethanol. my dh works for an oil/gas company. he said that companies would love to quit using it because it stinks, it corrodes, and causes your gas to burn faster. since it's already passed as a requirement by the government they have to put it in.
I've noticed. Usually I'm very budget conscience. I do my weekly financial check before I head to the grocery store. That way I know whether we can afford to bust the grocery budget or not but we've had a little extra cash these days so I figured, the bank accounts looking good, its food so its not like wasting it on things we don't need. That and due to things being so hectic and busy lately, I would just go grab what we need and omg, bad idea. So I went back and checked in my account online how much went to grocery store trips and of course too much money went to food. I started paying more attention to how much just getting what we need was coming up to and sure enough I noticed that the prices just seemed to be going up again. I've had to adjust my grocery budget limit once again. I tend to buy off brands to save money but then dh will complain it don't taste good. Its not even the kids, they could care less. If dh saw how much we spent on groceries he'd probably be shocked so I'll probably go back to hunting for coupons and a few off brands. Dh refuses to let go of his haagan daus, lol. Can't say I blame him. He works hard so I suppose we can stick with that one.
