Reply #45: Not only are prices rising [View All]

but proportions are shrinking. For most things the price may be the same, but, if you look the size of the product is smaller. We buy a portion of our groceries locally, we pay more, but the money stays in the community for the most part, anyway I'll buy our local supplies at the first of the month my wife in the middle, usually I was only spending 30-40 dollars, for the past three months for the same stuff I've spent 50+.
A week or so ago my wife bought what she thought was a half gallon of ice cream, when she fot home though, the package looked different so I looked at the size 1.75 quart for the old price of a half.
We're cutting back on everything but basics now.
