    I pick up stuff in the store all the time and look at the price and shake my head and put it back. There are so many things that just aren’t worth it anymore.

      Like, any snack food at all. Don’t know why they thought bumping up the price on junk, impulse food was going to hold for long. They were easily the first thing I stopped buying.

        We’ve stopped buying nearly all premade foods and instead buy more ingredients. I used to cook twice a week but the past few months it’s nearly everyday and I’m kind of happy about it!
