Food Shock!

                                                              Hello, My Cheap Cheetah Family

 So, how's July treating you? Here in New York, it's hot! Are you experiencing food shock like I'm experiencing here in New York? What I mean is that I went food shopping yesterday, and I swear the price jumped by $30 more than just a week ago. Last week I spent $150 on three bags of groceries, I kid you not, the same three bags cost me $180 yesterday. I swear food prices go up more than the stock market does. What do you think? How are you keeping your food bills low?  Here's what I'm doing. I am eating a lot of cold cereal, store brand. If I can find a pack of cheap meat, which is rare in my supermarkets. I buy it and separate the pieces so I can get a least two meals from it. Have you seen the price of steak? I saw a steak for $35. Really food prices are crazy. I try and shop at places like Aldi's and Dollar Tree. I only buy certain things out places like Dollar Tree. I don't trust some of the food items there.

I beg that's right, beg my neighbor for fresh veggies that he has growing in his garden since he's planted a lot of stuff. He always sends me over whatever he plants when it's ready.  I try not to waste anything that I had to spend money on, especially food. I had noticed while food shopping that people are only buying what they need. No extras, and they are using every discount they could think of to lower the price of food. Which is crazy. why can't we have the 60& 70's food prices?
