I hear ya.
I've been out of work since last September, so income is down. Thank God my house is paid for and I have my Navy pension or we'd be out on the street by now.
Just got back from grocery shopping. There are three of us and we eat plainly but well. We try to keep a pantry stocked as a hedge against times of trouble, be they financial or otherwise. We had two carts, one full but not heaped, and one about 3/4 full. This will feed 3 people for a month.

Gas is currently $3.45 locally, and will continue to go up, so prices of EVERYTHING will rise as well.

I'm more than a little scared about where hay prices are going to be by the time this year's crop comes in.
