I love a good shopping cart prices article, and NPR has  one this week. My biggest surprise was

Warning.....

To prevent a serious case of the shocks, do not look at prices at the grocery store.

Notice how over the past couple years it's gotten thinner?

@Foxxee   Our food bill has doubled....we eat the same as always. Serious shock = serious stress.  Yup.....best just to pay up and focus on the joy in our life.

The price of lettuce has come down from $4.89 a few weeks ago to $1.49 yesterday, but chicken has gone up to maintain a balance.

DS helped me clean the pantry after the holidays.

I found a roll of Reynolds parchment paper, a roll of their pan liner, a roll of nonstick foil and TWO rolls of Reynolds heavy duty 200 ft rolls of foil!

I gifted him a roll of heavy duty foil! 🥰

ETA: Good grief, it looks like they don't even sell this anymore.

I do my best to take the price increases in stride .... but I am really ... really ...  hopping mad about the price of paper towels!  Grrr.

Food prices are through the roof everywhere, but I remind myself that eating out is much more expensive!  It's a good thing I like to cook and bake.

@Tinkrbl44 - I know. I buy the 2 packs of Bounty triple roll. Yikes on the price.

I just paid over $6 for four tissue boxes and there is only 120 tissues in each box. I notice P&G! I wish the generics would solve their supply chain/production issues and get restocked. It's tissue for goodness sakes.
