Wow that's a dramatic increase in a house payment!...and I was shocked the other day to see sugar, which has stayed consistently low during these inflationary measures spike a whole buck for a bag. I guess they were making up for lost time. I guess I am lucky to have a fixed rate, I can still afford the sugar. (Though I probably won't need any as I stock pile during the holiday season when the prices are on sale)
Pretty crazy.
Every week I go shopping and it is going up, while they say in the news inflation is steady. Not only that, there is the shrinkflation on the product sizes too - pay more for less.
Are you baking something? :)
No, just happen to see the sugar in the center aisle the other day for 3.19 a bag. I only bake mainly during the holidays, pumpkin pies, bread and pumpkin cream rolls sometimes. I make them all from scratch and homegrown pumpkins, which places them in high demand. If I have a lot of pumpkin frozen for the year sometimes I bake the bread and take it with me for when I pick the kids up to take them to school, they love the pumpkin bread. There's a joke in the family that if I wanted to pick a fight all I'd have to do is bake pumpkin bread and toss it into a room...lol.
