Observation

I know that the state of our economy is all over the news, but other than the ridiculous gas prices, I've been relatively OK with things until last night...

I went to Wal-Mart to load up on all the necessities for the week. Everything was priced basically the same, except for the Cascade... Drum roll please - $7.00!!! I usually pay $3.50-4.00 for the same size box as I bought last night.

That my friends is ridiculous!

What other items have you noticed going up?

I agree. How about Milk and TP! Seriously two things that you need pretty much all the time! :) Fortunately, my Starbucks Chai Tea Latte has stayed the same!

That is crazy! I keep trying to convince Ted that it's cheaper to eat out... I read it to him and he said just use paper plates.

Amy is right about the milk and I'm with Ted on the paper plates but let me also just say this...praise God that in just one month we will be done with FORMULA! $25 a can people - scary!

I think Wal-Mart must have had a major price hike over the last few weeks. I bought All laundry detergent and it was almost $3 more than what I normally pay for it. It is absolutely insane! I keep spending more to get fewer and fewer groceries - makes my gut hurt (and my pocket book, too)!
