I live in AZ. I am a very careful shopper - usually buy only what I need and use, when it is on sale (then stock up). So I am very familiar with prices.

Has anybody noticed that the price of groceries has gone up at least a third - and mostly by 50% in the past year? (I know it is not my imagination.)

All these poor people who are out of work - and groceries have skyrocketed. No wonder ‘spam’ sales are soaring. (ewwww)

Vegetables are now over a dollar a can. Frozen vegetables are way over $1.50 for a small bag. Bread is well over a dollar a loaf. And eggs and bacon have doubled in one year.

I have been running my dehydrator almost full time, these past few months.

Of course, I’m being silly. No big deal. We’ll just sit back, and ask each other if we want any cheese with our ‘whine’. (If only we could afford to buy cheese!)

It’s not just you. And, yes, grocery prices have gone up. I live in the state with the highest cost of living and taxes.

I have a family of 6. We shop at BJ’s mostly, in bulk. The prices have gone up. We are far from poor. But successs is penalized.
