Spent $200 at the grocery store and barely come home with anything. How do people do it? I know what I make...and there are alot of people who make alot less. Are these people now getting priced out of food? Will they all have to go to the government for food stamps? Is this what the government wants?

I hope its not what they want...its what they might get if the prices keep going up like they are. I use coupons on whatever I possibly can and might even go to 2 different stores to get the better deal. Otherwise, we mostly eat what's on sale that week. We wouldn't be able to afford it otherwise with the prices. |

A. Coward User ID: 11762891 United States 08/24/2012 12:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Try finding a half gallon ice cream or a 1 lb. can of coffee...eight ounce yogurt and on and on...Tuna cans and tomato sauce are the same size but the ounces are lower...Some yogurts are stretched by adding starch to them...Just dandy. The same for detergents..Where one bottle used to do fifty loads or more they now do only forty one...at the same price or higher. Toilet paper is about a half inch less in width so even though you might be buying the thousand sheets you are still getting less and for a higher price. I could go on but I am sure you have your own price complaints.. |
Butterfly girl (OP) User ID: 14473545 United States 08/24/2012 12:58 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | U.S. consumers may pay 3 percent to 4 percent more for food next year, up from as much as 3.5 percent more this year, as the effects of drought work their way onto supermarket shelves, the Department of Agriculture said last month in its first forecast for 2013. Beef may rise as much as 5 percent in response to tight supplies of corn, which is used to feed cattle, the USDA said in its monthly report, which will be updated today. article link [link to www.businessweek.com] To everything there is a season, and a time to every purpose under heaven...

We are under seige warfare by the NWO Jew Banksters.Starvation and civil war soon. I think civil war is possible. Something I have been noticing a lot these last few months when I'm at the grocery store is that people not buying a lot of food. When I shop I buy a week or 2 weeks worth of groceries but it seems like there are only 2-3 people in the store at the same time who are doing that. Seems everyone else is only buying enough for 1 or 2 meals. If its a money issue (vs. laziness issue) and people can only afford a few meals at a time I really believe civil war could happen sooner rather than later. Kinda scary when you think about it! |

Just reach out and grab it and it's yours. Free. Easy enough. It's a trap too though. Once you're on it, you become dependent on it, you add it to the budget, and I imagine it would be very hard to adapt once you lose it. |

wordsmith User ID: 12031690 United States 08/24/2012 01:06 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The cheap stuff is still the stuff that is bad for you... ten for a dollar hamburger helper, top ramen, 25 cents a bit... cheap ass nutritionless bread... 89 cents.. I could go on... to eat well these days one has to make a lot of money... In fact, I think this is why so many americans are fat.... can only afford cheap ass carbs... spaghetti, ramen, mac and cheese.. hamburger helper, I mean really... veggies are expensive ... and so is even chicken.. if you have kids, one 6 dollar chicken isn't going to go far... people are eating too many carbs because they are cheapest.. honestly... Veggies are great, but most don't fill the belly... at least not for long... protein has just gone thru the roof lately... I have been eating a lot of tuna lately since it is cheap... 68 cents a pop.. I add it to my ramen and mac and cheese... Hard to eat really well these days unless you make a lot of money.... me, I live on $700 a month and some food stamps... disabled.. it's hard. wordsmith |
