Everything has sky rocketed and seems to keep going up without any end! My salary can't keep up with all of these high prices.

It seems every time I go to the grocery store something has gone up.  This summer I had several friends give me items from their gardens, so I canned for the 1st time.  I have green beans, spaghetti sauce, and salsa put up for this winter.  Every little bit helps out!!!

Grocery prices are high because gas prices are high and as long as the gas prices keep rising so will price of meat.  Just eat lots of chicken and they are high too, so you do what you have to do.

watch for sales. Sometimes if you go into the grocery store just before closing you can buy some good deals. Buy in bulk when a large cut is on sale and the split it up. That way you can get several meal off one cut. It does save money.

Grocery shopping can be so expensive, especially lately, everything seems to be going up. I always try to keep an eye out for good coupons and sales, every little penny helps :)

Grocery prices are definitely rising. Food is getting more and more costly. But, we have to eat. The goverment is doing nothing to help.

Well it sounds like meat prices are going up again.  :( The reason if due to the drough the United States is suffering from.  I am sure that everyone will see that not only meat will go up, but almost sure everything will.  If meat goes up very much, quess I won't be buying much.  It is almost out of reach for me now, not sure how I will purchase meat if it goes much higher. 


Where in Ohio are you?? I am here also near akron canton I shop alot at walmart and save a lot!

Grocery prices have been going up.  At least stores are always offering some type of sells to combat the high cost of food.  The prices haven't been bothering much since I always find a way around it.  I just usually just look at the ads to see what's on sale and clip coupons.  Then shop at the discount and mass merchandising stores first before the major chains.  It would be easier if natural/organic companies would offer coupons more often.  But I see they need the money since they're products are not modifed (organic).

yes, the stores give you coupons and advertised prices are on sale, but if you look, they have raised the price before they put it on sale so you haven't saved anything.

As long as the Fed keeps printing money and weakening our dollar costs will continue to rise. It's called inflation.

I can't believe the prices in the grocery store these days.  I cut meat purchases drastically and will try to get more than one meal out of the purchase.  I purchase a chicken for a dinner roast and then make my chicken soup from the remaining chicken.  This way I get a lot of meals out of one chicken and I love home made soup.

We have adults in my house now, no more children, so we were able to cut out all the snack food, like corn chips, snack crackers, candy, ice cream, etc. This food is not great for us at this age anyway.  I only purchase ice cream on sale, once in a while, or nuts. We try to buy healthy food on sale or I really like the Farmers Market these days. 

I usually have a large crowd on Thanksgiving and am not looking forward to the large food bill  Oh I have cut down on the amount of parties we host also.

I probably will decrease my meat and go to frozen veggies and fruit. I have a big family, so I am going to have to be creative if it goes up too much. I do have food in storage because I believe it's an insurance policy against hard times

You can find me on Youtube!
