| I know CHICKEN is sooooo expensivE!! I also wanted to buy some hamburger patties I freaked at the price! It went up about 4DOLLARS since a month ago! For those of you that buy at Sams Club, are the pricing better? I stopped buying there and didnt renew my membership because it wasnt worth it at the time but I am wondering if the prices are better? |

| Oh gah! Lets not even talk about the price of milk. I LOVE eating oreos and milk. I go through a gallon of milk within a few days. It is $3 in Chicago. Sometimes I can get lucky and get it for $2.50. I'm a BIG fruit lover too. I love all kinds of fruit, but its so expensive. I don't get to eat it much. To make things even worse, my boyfriend and I eat organic food. Thats always about $2-$3 more than the regular food. |

I Love Thor Donating Member | A gallon of oragnic milk here is about $10. I kid you not! It is crazy! Food prices are rising like crazy, and it is very scary. A tiny carton of almond mild is $3.50. I remember buying a gallon of milk for that!! |

| It's just the same over here. Every time I go shopping the bill has gone up. Bread is now double the price it was before Christmas, milk up 80%, all meat & fruit & vegetables up. And petrol It's equivalent to $10.4 a gallon here now......over 75% of that is tax to our grasping government |

It's so hard to eat entirely organic, especially in times like these. We have tons of farms around here, so luckily we can buy locally, especially since we are coming into season. We can get fruit and veggies for soo cheap. That's a positive. | |

| I hear you! About $4 for a gallon of milk and $3 for a dozen eggs. I don't know where this is all going to end because these prices can not keep going up like this. It's sad when fresh fruits and veggies have become a luxary item. I can't wait for summer to get here....NJ is full of produce stands from peoples' own gardens. And they taste better, too!

Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | it's horrible ! Even milk is at 4.50 to FIVE Bucks a gallon - I swear - I don't know how families do it. It's a culture shock everywhere these days - the gas station - the electric bill - the gas bill and FOOD - when is this going to end ? I used to think prices were already high but nothing compared to this. |

| It's terrible. They run all these ads about how kids need to eat healthey, fresh fruit, etc... and a pound of bananas cost 54-60 cents, one range is 67 cents. it's hard.....I buy only what we have to have, hardly any treats anymore. Maya had a slleep over this past weekend. I spent almost 60 dollars just getting a few bags of chips, dip, drinks and little junk like that that......no real food. Angie |

| Yes, and it will probably get worse. Now all the corn is being bought up in order to hopefully make a cheaper fuel than gasoline. Too bad it costs more to make the "cheaper" alternative than it does to buy gas. I think it would be cheaper to just drill for oil here in the US and build more refineries. Tell the middle east to go you know where. So now the price of corn has sky rocketed and guess what chickens, cows and sheep eat?? All of the great farm land has been turned into housing projects. Guess what the farmland grew?? Alfalfa, corn, crops, fruit, vegies, etc. The price of gas has gone way up and guess how they deliver all the groceries to the stores? Compile all of that with the amount of theft that goes on and Im surprised that we are not paying ten dollars for a gallon of milk. |

| Food shopping here is horrible! The most shocking one for me has been the price of chicken! Im blown away! Chicken is about $7 a package!! Ive never EVER seen it that high! Used to be about $3 - $4! I have started buying a lot of frozen food from trader joes lately, its the only way I can afford to feed myself! HAHA (kidding) Seriously though, the price of food is mental lately! Then again, the price of everything seems mental lately!

Donating YT 14K Club Member | We spent $150 on groceries Saturday. We didn't buy ANY meat, but did buy 2 packages of turkey lunch meat for the kid's lunches. 5 bags of groceries...cereal, chips, snacks for kids lunches and $150 later. I use to be able to buy that much for half the price.
