I'm under budget by about $10. Payday isn't till Friday so money is tight right now. I'm trying to save where I can because it seems like prices of any type of food has increased. To offset those cost I am trying to cook as much as possible and have no extra expenses. Just going to have to get creative.
So have you noticed all the prices going up?
Anyone else notice the shortage of organic sugar in the bulk?
Have your peanut butter prices gone up?
