Just a few short hours ago, I got back from the grocery store and I saw first hand how the high prices are affecting people. In each and every aisle, I saw couples having long drawn out discussions about what they were buying. I overheard people discuss the amount they were paying, how long the product they were purchasing would last, and whether they were getting the best bargain. I know people normally do comparative shopping, but with the prices of food so much higher, people are have taken it to a much higher level. My lady and I spent most of our grocery trip trying avoid this woman and her husband. The husband was basically doing whatever his wife asked him to do. The wife was talking loudly about every damn product in the store, and at one point she tried to bother my lady and I. We were about to purchase chicken, and she took this time to get on her high horse, so she she could talk about how high the prices were. Bullshit conversations like this have no place in the grocery store, so we gave her some fake response, then we briskly walked away. Every knows prices are high, but everyone has to eat, so shut the hell up, shop and go home. No talking. That being said, we spent $50 more than we had anticipated. We won't need groceries until August, but it put a dent in my wallet.

And yes I'm discussing groceries in my blog. I know I'm not the only one who has felt the rise in prices.
