[QUOTE="JJJ, post: 515519, member: 1169"] I've notice price spikes in certain things (like peanut butter -- $7 a jar??) but overall I think prices around here are pretty stable. We will have nearly a 10% drop in income at the end of the summer so we are trying to eliminte enough monthly bills in advance. Things I'm doing 1. Gardening and going to can/freeze/dry this year. 2. Cook at home more with more vegetarian meals (meat is expensive!) 3. Visit grandma's more often (she feeds us!) 4. Plan 'free' family fun -- parks, movies in the park, etc. 5. Minimizing fast food (a huge money drain for us) Target had a great sale on Pedigree last month. I have enough dry kibble to last until August -- at about 50% off. We do give her a can of food as a treat if we can get them on sale (grocery store was changing brands and sold a ton of cans for 50 cents each!). We have started to use table scraps to supplement as well. Our budget's biggest enemy is me! So I am going to try very hard to keep within the household budget this year. [/QUOTE]
