Has anyone else notice the price of food lately?
I came across an old newspaper ad from the fall of 2007. I was using it to start a fire this morning and I saw the cost of Zesty crackers was a $1.48. Day before yesterday I was at the grocery store picking up a few things we needed. Crackers was one of those items. When I saw the cost of Zesty crackers was $3.79 I decided we could do without them.
I got to the canned veggie ilse and noticed that the green beans I normally like to buy were 89 cents a can. Looking in that old ad flyer from 2007 that same name brand was 2 for 88 cents.
I then came to the cereal ilse and thought I'd pick Rod up some Wheaties per his request for cold cereal. A box of Wheaties was $3.89. Corn Flakes, Frosted Mini Wheats and a few other brand names were $1.69 a box. You can all guess at what kind he got.
I got to the baking ilse and found that Betty Crocker cake mix were 88 cents a box. What a deal I have not seen cake mix for less than a $1.29 for awhile. In my old 2007 ad Pilsbury cake mix is .79 cents. The only problem I see with making cake is eggs are now triple of the cost of what they used to be. Plus cooking oil had tripled in cost. We do not have our chickens yet.
I wanted to pick up some canned Tuna for Tuna salad sandwhiches but a small can is a $1.38. It has been some time ago since I bought Tuna. The 2007 ad flyer has Tuna at .56 cents for a small can.
