The Economy - A Personal Observation

This was originally a reply to someone elses post: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x2520576

1 year ago I would spend around $120 on my weekly "big shopping", staples, meats, etc.
My bill is now roughly $150 for the same items.
That's interesting: the increase adds up to $120 a month - that's one week of staples a year ago.
Essentially, that's like taking a week's worth of food out of my family's mouth.
Yep, the economy is just great! :grr:

1. At least your pay increased to make up the difference.
