  • Oh my God, yes. (0 / 0)

    Just a couple of weeks ago, we went to the produce market we shop at.  I about fell on the floor...prices had literally soared in the space of two weeks!  Cucumbers, tomatoes, lettuce, potatoes all increased in price.  Cucumbers and tomatoes were nearly doubled!

    I buy other groceries at Aldi, and so far, I haven't noticed too much of a difference recently, but I do know that what I get for, say $150-$200 isn't nearly what I got for that amount a year or so ago.

    • This is what I have noticed (0 / 0)

      that my weekly grocery bill has gone up by about 20%. Each week I am looking in my bags thinking, "what did I buy that cost so much more?" but I have figured out now that it just the cost of everything going up.

      • And if the cost is not going up, (0 / 0)

        the quantity is going down.  What used to be a five pound bag of chicken breasts is now a three pound bag.  And the best trick I've seen yet?  A few weeks ago, my son wanted a few cans of ravioli.  We bought the Chef Boyardee brand.  Looked the same as always.  Opened the can to find far few raviolis because the thickness of the can had been increased in the most remarkable way.
