Mango Leaves against the fence
I remembered something to tell you. This past Saturday I picked up a pound of bacon and the price was
$6.66
I put it back, when I rung up my purchases, the strawberries that did not have a price on them, rang up
$6.66
This added to the fact many of the shelves were totally empty, no vinegar,
and other things on my list.
I checked my reciept at home and 1/2 the items I bought have doubled in the past 6 months.

I love the pictures but am dismayed at the inflation It's bad here too. 😯
ReplyDeletewow that's a lot.... and three times the number 6 is no good sign... sigh
ReplyDeleteEverything is sky high. And not just food! Great photos Sandra.
ReplyDeleteAwesome pictures. The prices in the stores are crazy. Lettuce came in at the store yesterday with a suggested price of over $7 a head.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteLove the pretty leaves and shadows. The prices are going up, it seems the bill is higher each time we make a trip to the food store. Take care, have a great day!
Seems to be a worldwide problem - there’s that old saying ‘money makes the world go round’…do you think it’ll stop when we don’t have enough to pay.
ReplyDeleteMy till roll is certainly getting higher and higher each time I shop - beforehand I’d just pick up anything and everything- oh that looks interesting, maybe we’ll try that this week- not anymore.

ReplyDeleteDitto all said here... Definitely falling back to shopping only essentials... YAM xx
Love the photos - do you know how to process that cassava to eat? We might all be doing that soon! F is desperately trying to find a supplier of bulk dry goods (5-25kg at a time rather than packaged in tiny plastic half kilo bags), but even a local shop that opened with 'zero waste' bannered all over the front is simply a middle class affectation with unwrapped bars of super expensive homemade soap, and bins of exotic flour. Someone needs to be selling beans and rice out of sacks to people struggling with budgets, not opening more shops that rely on people with money showing off their green credentials (there that's F's rant for the day).
ReplyDeleteAs for bacon - sometimes our local shop has bacon ends for cheap but they sell out really quickly.

Everything is through the roof! A pound of butter is a bit over $5 for a pound...and that the cheapest brand.
ReplyDeleteIf these prices keep skyrocketing, I may have to become a vegetarian and learn to garden. (Like that's ever going to happen, right?)
ReplyDeleteI don't care how attractive it is, seeing $6.66 on anything is grounds for me to back away. Far, far away.
I love the mango photos
ReplyDeleteOMDs yes things have doubled. I'm trying to make more meals that we can have for 2 nights now. Easy in the cold weather we have lots of hearty soup

Do you get to eat fresh mangos? How long do they last on the tree? Air plants are expensive here! Lovely sharp shadows!
ReplyDeleteI tell you the price of every single thing in the world has gone up!
ReplyDeleteWow, doubled is crazy. I don't know if you have an ALDI. Our Aldi has LOWERED prices on many things recently. Part of a promotion. I love that!
ReplyDeleteTalk about costs, Sandra, Grenville checked the price of the Pillsbury Grands Cinnamon Rolls he likes only to find out they were over $6 a can! I reminded him that I can make them at home and the cost would be much less since we already have all the ingredients needed. We like bacon as well, but not at that price. Thankfully blueberries have been less costly than strawberries here.
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful collection of leaves Sandra...
ReplyDeleteAs for shopping, I was out at Walmart today and continue to be amazed that they can have a whole 1/3 of the store crammed with Holiday decorations and so much of there food shelves are empty...
I think everyone is noticing the rise in food costs and double or even triple is not unusual. The jar of salsa I always bought for 1.99 is not close to $4
ReplyDeleteYes, for sure. We just got back from Walmart and found the same thing. I scream at paying $5.00 for a lb. of butter and over $5.00 for eggs.
ReplyDeleteLast week I couldn't find a red onion any where..
Every day items are in very short supply.
Love the shadow photos.

You have avocados and MANGOS too!!!
ReplyDeleteHigh grocery prices make shopping a challenge. I am finding it best if I do NOT send Louis Dean nor even take him with me!! We came home from Trader Joe's today with TWO cheesecakes! But it's his birthday so that's his gift!
Always enjoy your garden photos with all the sunlight and shadows. Prices have been going up here too. Paying attention to if I REALLY need this or that!
ReplyDeleteferns make for great shadows. thanks for sharing these beautiful captures!
ReplyDeleteprices have been going up here too. electricity heat is also so expensive here.:(
