I eat the same things each week and buy the same brands and food on sale. With that rigidity and regularity it has been very easy for me to track my consumption balanced against my budget. Within my budget of $30 I find that over the last three months it has gotten really hard to buy the same things and stay within my budget...AND make the food stretch one week.Elizabeth Pratahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04341086233512507156noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-11703693718029081112011-10-27T16:06:20.407-04:002011-10-27T16:06:20.407-04:00So weird, my brother just visited Bangkok a week a...So weird, my brother just visited Bangkok a week and a half ago and I was asking my father if he knew about the floods. He went on to say that Bangkok never gets flooded but I had a feeling that would change. We are not living in normal times.<br /><br />I will let my mother know to stock up on rice if possible.<br /><br />It's really sad watching things like this unfold, there's a way out, there's salvation but many don't want to hear it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-16400916230032188602011-10-27T08:48:23.629-04:002011-10-27T08:48:23.629-04:00Getting our grocery budget to stretch and still ge...Getting our grocery budget to stretch and still get the same amount of food is becoming a challenge for me as the shopper of our household. Thankfully, we are not in a hurting situation, but I can fathom the difficulty others might be having... Not to mention what those in third world countries must be enduring. Can't imagine the level of starvation that will be present in the Trib.<br /><br /><br />Emily, www.extendingeagerhands.blogspot.comAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2736720231951988221.post-69566459375577749372011-10-26T23:25:25.290-04:002011-10-26T23:25:25.290-04:00I am so glad you mentioned this!

One of the most noticeable is the new 7 oz package of Kraft cheese. Who uses stuff in 7 oz increments? But, as you mentioned, it is a sign of food inflation and worsening economic times for all of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
