I went to the grocery store this week and yes, I see increased prices on some of my favorites. For a change, this is not just media hype. It is true. Inflation is real. Do you see the effects in your life?
So back to groceries. Those who know me know I dont like budgets and refuse to budget but I have an awareness of what I spend on food every week. I also know that I often buy more than I need and have a lot of waste. In the face of rising food costs, I have decided that instead of shopping once a week, I will shop every 2 days and buy only what I need for those two days. Now this is an experiment so I will let you know in a few weeks if in fact I am able to save any money by the strategy.
Anyone have any other great ideas?
