When hubby and I were first married 5 years ago, our weekly big grocery shopping trip cost about $70. We make a few other small purchases during the week for random things like a loaf of bread, case of water, etc., but the big shopping visit stayed the same.
Now, that shopping trip is up to $100 a week. WTH?? We're certainly not eating any more. We're not eating fancier meals, either---if anything, we're eating cheaper cuts of meat and such than we did before.
And I remember seeing things like "Special! Country style beef ribs, 99 cents per pound." Now I see ads that say, "Special! Country style beef ribs, $2.49 per pound."
Anybody else notice that groceries are getting more expensive?
