the cost of my basket of goods just keeps on going up

A couple of weeks ago, Walmart jumped their celery from $0.88 two weeks earlier to $1.79. I just laughed as I walked on by that 'bargain'. Went across the street to Aldi's and picked it up for $1.19.

Many items are still increasing, but I have noticed a significant drop in many prices over last spring and summer.

I’m a regular Aldi’s shopper and have noticed some price increases lately. Cream cheese has gone from $.79 to $1.29 over the last six months, frozen sausage up $.30, frozen veg $.20, bacon up $.25, etc. On the the other hand, a carton of eggs and my favourite face cream are both down $.50 each. Milk is hold steady within a dime of two bucks at all the discount places I shop.

Warning to those watching their budgets: everywhere I shop but Costco has moved to selling chicken with 15% retained water/salt solution. Make sure you take this in account when comparing sale prices, and especially if you’re watching your salt intake.
