[quote=Anonymous]Ok so I'm not a super price sensitive shopper these days but I get away with that by getting a CSA and growing a lot of vegetables (CSA is not "on" right now and it's may so no meaningful veggies yet) and mostly supplementing that with things like pasta/flour/etc. I also cook 90% of my family's food and make our own cookies, crackers, stuff like that. But, I've noticed prices sort of explode recently too. Whole Foods (yeah, yeah) had two cartons of non-organic store brand 2% milk available the last time I was there -- the organic name brand version was $9.50 and to me that's "you live in Alaska in the bush" prices. That would be a red line to me (I bought one of the two remaining store brand cartons). I used to be a very price sensitive shopper and cooked even more than I do now, but my family's income rose. I think I might start moving back in the direction of lentil soups and homemade pita instead of buying pita from the store, a recent luxury. [/quote]
