[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]and bought basically nothing. A few staples that we were out of (sugar, flour, butter). A pound of ground chicken for dinner tonight. A gallon of milk. Some fruits and vegetables. And that was it. Skim milk is now $4.55 a gallon!

Is anyone else getting really concerned about this?[/quote]butter=$4 (plugra baking=$3.69)+flour=$5 (King Arthur organic=4.67)+sugar=$4(Domino=3.59)+milk(4.79)+fruit(mango, orange, blue, straw, blackberry=$12)=~$30.  How are you getting $68?  If you run a pastry shop, try restaurant depot.[/quote]

OK, we have a literalist here. For you, friend, I will recreate my receipt:

Loaf of whole wheat bread - $4.89
Eggs - $3.19
Kefir - $5.00
Butter - $6.49
Skim Milk gallon - $4.49
Cheese - $4.49
Sugar - $2.99
Flour - $2.79
Ketchup - $2.25
Ritz crackers - $5.39
Ground chicken - $4.29
Sliced ham - $5.49
Blueberries - $6.99
Raisins - $4.29
Bag of spinach - $3.29
Bag of arugula - $2.49
Bananas - $1.06

Total - $69.87

This is a standard grocery shopping list for me, give or take, for the last 5 years. Two or three years ago it would have been $20 less.  That is my point.

Yep sounds about right. We live in Arlington and the prices have gone up at our Giant in just the last month. I think people who live a little farther out don't realize this. I think the prices were lower to begin with and hold steady longer.  Even Aldi has slowly raised their prices so for all those who are going to chime in about Aldi, same thing happening there.
