Rising Cost Of Food

Here are six items going up.

1. Pre-prepped veggies. When in the hell did we get so lazy that we can’t cut a head of lettuce. I am guilty of this. I blame the amount of waste created by me doing it. That’s going to stop.
2. Pre-cut and marinated meat. I am guilty of buying pre-cut meat because we do eat wings. Mainly breast and thigh or drumstick. As for marinades, I stay away from these. We have a specific taste so it would be a waste to buy them in a marinade.
3. Name brand cereal. Holy Apple Jacks Captain Crunch. There is going to be a markup of around 44%. This is why I bought cereal back in the spring. I had a suspicion this hike was coming. My daughter laughs at me. Wait till she sees the price hike.
4. Name Brand Spices. I buy the store brand as much as possible.
5. Baking supplies. We saw the chaos back in the spring. People were stuck at home and decided it was time to learn to bake. The only thing I need to buy is cocoa.
6. Baked goods. It’s time to say no. This month I will be making pie filling. I know how to make a pie crust. Fillings can be used in a variety of ways. We just have to get imaginative.
