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!  |
it jumped to like $3.75 a gallon here today.
It is hitting us hard as well, my husband planted me a garden last weekend, and granted we won't reap the benefits of that for a couple months..it will help some.
Something my husband and I have discussed in the past is locating a place to buy a side of beef, maybe going in with a couple other families, maybe save some money that way long term not having to buy as much so often..
