I believe we will become much better at sorting 'needs' and 'wants' which will continue to separate the classes. Watch Soylent Green again. My take was a little more than some of the reviews in the "fences" thread.

I tell you what, we do a lot more shopping at Dollar General; Dollar Tree; Aldi's (Foods priced about 1/2 WalMart or Kroger), and other discount outlets.

I went to Albertson's yesterday and with only about a 1/2 a cart spent $170. I didn't buy any big ticket items, paper products, beauty aids, or cleaners. Just food.

Just received a notice for increase of premiums for Blue Cross..co-pays went up, script coverage remained the same. Now paying more for even less coverage than I had a year ago.

How about home heating oil (LP) for $2.68 a gallon? We figured it will cost us close to $750 a month to heat the house.. Ridiculous. How can anyone buy food?

i think generally all fresh foods have been going up in price. the canned stuff is still cheap.

the cost of a c-section went down about 8 grand, though, so it's a good time to get one of those.
