Now it's barely a week. I just went shopping there for the first time in a few months and was pretty surprised at how expensive their meats were - their beef is almost double the price from a few months ago. There's a specific lo-mein noodle frozen dinner that I always used to buy as a lazy meal option because it was cheap - about $3 - now it's almost $6. And my store was completely out of their brand of beef jerky.

Anyone else shocked at how high meat prices are getting - especially beef?

Thank you, my friend. We aren’t rich, and are tightening the belt now, but I’m also making some other financial moves to do more with what we have…. We will be okay, better than many others in similar situations.

growing up, meal time was no joke. nothing wasted and seconds only went to the older ones who expended more energy with work/chores. we said grace and kissed and told our parents "i love you" before bed each night. i myself didn't have a brrod, but i can remember my dad's face some mornings, with his workboots between his feet as he sat in his chair. the thousand-yard stare. i'd ask him, "you okay?" and he'd mutter "the salt mine."
