What State are you in?

I saw whole chickens at the grocery store this week for $.69 per lb.

Bought tomatoes for $.99 per lb. Bought cabbage at $1.00 for 5 lbs.

I see some price increases like bacon. But generally it is not that bad here yet. (bought 10 lb. box of “irregular sliced” bacon for $25.00)

Now, we did plant twice as much garden as last year. That seems to be doing well. And I put out 29 new fruit trees, blueberry and blackberry bushes and a bed of strawberries.

Anyone else having trouble finding SALTED peanuts at Walmart? So glad the government is looking out for our health........

I've noticed in the last couple of weeks, that the hash browns and biscuits I'm getting from McDonalds taste completely BLAH. I looked at the last hash brown I got & there was not salt on it at all. Has anyone else noticed this?

Where I am, a Hershy’s bar is $1.25 only when it is on sale. Almost bought one yesterday, but at that price I just said screw it. Don’t need it that bad.

Milk is 2 for $5 where I am.

I have noticed that fast food is becoming cheaper all the time. With grocery prices, electricity to cook it, clean up afterwards, and time involved, suddenly a $10 for a pizza or $6 for a double whopper is not as bad a deal as it once was. With prices going as they are, its almost economical to eat out. They can buy it and cook it cheaper than it would cost me to do it. Especially if you use coupons and look for sales. Its a weird economy right now.

The economic trainwreck engineered by soros/obamugabe is based on the same model used in Zimbabwe by Robert Mugabe. People still don’t get it. US wealth is being redistributed out of the country.

Hey, but Herman Cain working at the Federal Reserve to devalue your money and purchasing power is totally cool.

Funny how that statistic remains true. When I got out of the navy in 1995 milk and gas were both $0.89 each. It used to cost me around $10 to fill up the car. Now I ride my bicycle as much as possible.

Sorry, I call BS on you.

This ad shows Albertsons as $4.50 a gallon...

The best way of knowing what is going on, is to get 5-10 friends who live in different places around the US, and ask them to, once a week, note the price of several different common things, on an agreed upon list with standard rules. Create a blog for just them and you.

For example, 2% milk, and the lowest price for a gallon the store offers. Also note if there is a sale or special price.

After doing this for a few months, it should be very clear what is happening in the national economy, as far as food is concerned.

Why is your milk so cheap did the medicinal pot prices rise to counter it? How much is gas there?

My wife just spend $732 last week for groceries and gas. Two weeks worth plus some specials we stocked up on, probably added $60.00

We used to spend about $400.00

Well, we sat down and decided to find ways to cut our food bill.

When we were young and poor with a house full of children, we were part of a food co-op which saved us a whole lot of money and we had farm fresh produce, cheese, vegetables at cost.

I'm seriously considering started one for my extended family and friends.

As an example, I bought tomatoes at the local store for $1.99 a lb. Farmers market (a real one) has the same tomatoes for $15.00 25 lb crate.

In the Twin Cities metro, grapes were 3.99 a pound, tomatoes 2.79 a pound and Hormel Black Label Bacon, nothing really special, was 6.79 a pound. However, milk, which used to be 1.99 to 2.49 is now 2.99 a gallon. Chalk that up to being a dairy state I suppose.

“Alot of restaurants are reducing protions to cut costs.....”

The other day I was eating with co-workers who ordered chicken and did not get the honey mustard on the side that they were expecting. When we asked our waiter and he checked with his manager, he told us they were just trying to cut calories........ I could understand that you might have to ask for side sauces to cut costs instead of the restaurant just giving it to you, but he checked again and said it was definitely calories.

I noticed fast food is reducing portions. I will never eat at KFC again. The chicken was like midget chicken.

My wife is a tar heel. I thought NC was pretty similar to Texas as far as the people and business are.

You must live in a large city?

Wife’s cousins live in Wilmington. We have not been there for years, but my wife thinks the beach there is heaven. She holds her nose on the Gulf Coast here in TX.

I have been planning to add some chickens at the farm this year, but have not done that yet. My wife is negative on that because it is confining as far as travel is concerned.

You know....we should get a regular thread posted here on FR that does just that....report in each week, and someone take the lead and chart it.....I cannot believe there is not an outside group that looks at the costs (outside of the gov’t reports)....but, if not...we should...

I got one better than that.

I paid $3.75 for ONE green bell pepper.

The peppers I froze from last year ran out last month.

I got to remember to freeze more of them next year.
