We have felt it here, too. What makes it difficult is the rising cost of food along with the gas. We have started going back to the outdoor market for fresh fruits and veggies where prices are better. We are also going to the local u-pick farms, buying in season fruits and veggies in bulk and freezing or canning them. We are blessed to live close enough to most of these types of places to make it worth our while. And Bill, we always have fresh eggs!
