[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If something is unreasonable to me I simply don’t buy it and switch gears.  If the cream cheese is too expensive then I don’t buy bagels and get English muffins instead.  If the cereal is too expensive I just get something different for breakfast. I find the price of crackers has been outrageous lately so we’ve been eating cheaper pretzels and popcorn instead. I couldn’t find ground beef on sale last week so tacos can wait until another day and I’ll make something with the chicken I did buy.[/quote]

This is me too, but it's getting harder and harder! It seems like every week prices go higher - I was noticing this yesterday at Giant.  A gallon of milk is now $5.09???  I remember commenting a few weeks ago how it was $4.79, and thinking that was high!  My kids like bagels, but I'm just not paying $5.99 for a bag of those mini-bagels.  Chips have also been crazy high lately - a (smaller) bag of Doritos is now basically $5.

For produce, I tend to buy what's on special. Strawberries haven't been that bad around here lately, nor have melons.  [/quote]

The worst part is that the prices will not ever come down. There will be sales but once they have jacked up the price and people pay, the price will stay that high.  It doesn't matter if inflation overall comes down. In this area, the price will remain high.[/quote]
