I got a mailer from the county extension office yesterday.
They had been tracking the increase of prices in fuel and foods in our county. Of what they tracked, the cheapest went up up 17% and the highest (milk) went up 27% from last March 31.
I also now bake all our bread. Even if I buy the frozen bread dough loaves I save us money. They are 6 loaves for $2.98. Or I can make it cheaper yet from scratch.
Last week I peeked at the bread at the store. The cheapest loaf they had was $3.07.
I know many have suggested the day old bread outlets and such. But we don't have one here--the nearest is 27 miles away, and I do sometimes go if I am already in that area, but their prices have gone way up too.
