Food costs are still rising, as we see the food-at-home  in February 2023 were 10.2 percent higher than in February 2022, and we feel it at the grocery store every day.

Yesterday Stefan came home from the store with four full plastic bags and a gallon of milk, and spent more than $200.

It is  good thing we have emergency survival food we bought almost nine years ago, because it looks like we will be using it unless we win the lottery……..then again we don’t play the lottery, so there goes that idea.

With food inflation still topping overall inflation, and for some items, like cereals, we are talking 11%-12% increase from last year at this time.
