Grocery Store Trip

I just got back to the camper from a trip to the grocery store and am blown away by the prices. The grocery store is a “KJ’s” which is part of the IGA brand that represents itself as a discount chain. Almost everything I looked at had prices that were significantly above just several weeks ago.

There have been numerous announcements from food companies that price increases upwards of 20-30% . On the positive side I shop around and look for the best prices from multiple stores. I shop sales and stock up on items used daily and weekly to reduce my overall spend.

Am I the only one who has changed eating habits due to increases in food prices? I have not grilled a steak in a couple months. I struggle paying these crazy prices for steak and just look for something else to cook that will allow me to stretch my dollar.

I’ve discovered I absolutely love turkey burgers. Ground turkey with some chopped-up onions added to the patties along with seasoning – FANTASTIC! Guess what? Much cheaper than beef and healthier as well.

Keep prepping folks. Things are going to continue to get more expensive.

Any recommendations on dealing with rising food prices? Please share to help everyone.
