Going to the grocery store is getting ridiculous. A $100.00 doesn't go very far anymore. I'm trying to save a penny here or there, but the one thing I won't skimp on is the dog food. I still buy their $50.00 bag of food every 2 weeks or so. Suprisingly dog food prices have stayed pretty much the same???

I drive carefully, turn my home ac to 80 and do other little things to make up for it. I filled my tank the other day and it cost me more than I paid to purchase my first car. And no, I don't drive a big gas guzzling suv. I drive a little 6 cy car

With three kis to feed, we can't spend less at the grocery store. We do drive less, though.

More because food is so much more expensive now. And I'm not buying some things I used to consider regular parts of my shopping trips anymore, either.

i just watch what I spend and buy as to not waste things.  I am lucky I can shop on base which has more things cheaper then the stores

I am provided a company gas card, so gas prices don't affect my grocery bill. It's a hell of a good benefit, and believe me, I'm grateful for it.
