I'm still bemoaning the rising prices. Some examples: Yesterday at the grocery - bananas normally around 49 cents a pound, now 64 cents/lb.
Hot dog buns normally in the 79-89 cent range for the store brand? $1.19.
Now come on folks, if some the cheapest of foodstuffs (bananas & makings for hotdogs) keeps going up in such big leaps, how on earth are people who are just barely getting by now going to get enough food to eat????????????? Auuuughhhhhhhh!!!
The good buy of the day was cabbage at 28 cents a pound.
I went long on elbow pasta (6 lbs.) & sugar in the 25 lb. sack.
I'm with Ima Saver that the news is all doom and gloomy, and I want to be happy. And I am happy that my family has plenty to eat, but it weighs my soul down knowing how hard it is for some people! I just had a hard time getting through the grocery store yesterday imagining if things keep escalating the way they do what folks are going to be going through!! I can't stand the thought of hungry kids.
