    I use the Fort Carson Commissary and I see the increase each visit. I know this is nowhere near Wally and King Soopers etc, but everywhere you get less for a lot more $.
    I do the shopping and meat is the biggest killer!

    I hope every trip to the store and gas station pisses of Liberals until they get their head right........but I doubt it. Utopia won't be cheap!

    It costs more to feed livestock, transport goods, defend against trial lawyers, and (of course) pay for Obamacare. I'm surprised anyone is surprised that food costs (like most other costs) are rising. It's all good, Obama's Department of Commerce has said we don't have inflation so we must all be imagining it.

    Yep, it sucks, but I also see the bright side of it: i've lost a lot of weight because I am eating less meat and my cholesterol is way down!!

    I am really lucky because I get a cow from my sister every couple of years so my freezer is always stocked. If I had to pay double for my food bill, I don't know what I would do. The cost of living is insane!

    Its funny to note that right after reading this post I watched O'Reilley's talking points and he mentions that gasoline has doubled in the last 6 years and food prices are at their highest level in history.

    I am extremely price sensitive. Less Potato. Less rice. Cheaper salads. Cheaper bread.

    BTW, Monsanto. Sad but so true.

    It is crushing us. Good thing is, I'm losing weight.

    This is what happens from all the facts that the census picks up, they distribute the info and the "corporations" know where you live and how much you make, they set up their stores and price according to the income in a captive area. They got us by the balls.

    I never fill out a census completely, just that I am me and I live here, they get nothing else.
