mom-from-missouri: I think that you take the $5 and buy what you can. I'm sure that a few months ago could have bought more. Also, some areas are less expensive than others. In the list , they said whatever you had left over to put it away for the next week. I take that to mean that some items might be higher the next time.
I don't really think that you can keep up with the grocery prices right now. I try to buy items when they are on sale and with coupons.
These lists are a good starting point and you can change and adjust them as you must.
