Good GRIEF! I felt like I was getting robbed at the store when I was shopping yesterday! 15 cent increase on canned fruit. 50 cent increase on toilet paper. 75 cent increase on soap. I'm on a tight enough food budget as it is, and it's already frustrating to try to keep it down below my max.. I walked out of there spending a good $25 more than I expected to. Something has to give........

I hear you on the grocery store, our house payment, our power bills ... everything is going up bit by bit, except for our income!

I was just going to write a post on this, my budget is 100.00 every two weeks and I went over 23.00 this time and I used 17.50 worth of coupons. Toliet paper went up like 75 cents and so many things went up 10-60 cents in a two week time span URGH!!! I am wondering how we are going to afford to live if this keeps up!

I'm feeling the same way, groceries are outrageous.

I'm with you ladies! Last time I was at my grocery store, I literally watched an employee change the price stickers on the shelf for cheese. It went from $2.27 to $2.35. That's only a little less than a 10% increase! It really is depressing!

I feel your pain. I noticed a couple of weeks ago that the dry beans I usually buy doubled in price in three weeks!

I was in walmart and I noticed it on PASTA. I only went in for a few thing, Pasta being one of them. I can't believe how much it went up! A month ago, I got a box of rotini for about .75, this past week, it went up to over $1!! For PASTA!! WTH?

I did hear that by March we won't be complaining about gas prices anymore. Its already started.
