A QUOTE

The first supermarket supposedly appeared on the American landscape in 1946. That is not very long ago. Until then, where was all the food? Dear folks, the food was in homes, gardens, local fields, and forests. It was near kitchens, near tables, near bedsides. It was in the pantry, the cellar, the backyard. ― Joel Salatin, Folks, This Ain’t Normal: A Farmer’s Advice for Happier Hens, Healthier People, and a Better World

A HOMEMAKER CHECK-IN, ONE YEAR LATER

How are you, my dear reader?  Last time I checked in was almost one year ago and in some ways, it feels like we went from bad to worse!  Everything from groceries to gas to electricity has gone up significantly where I live and it’s getting trickier to balance the budget.  I’m hoping the low-buy month will help, even a tiny bit.  How are you adapting?  What do things costs around you right now?  Our gas is $4.19/gallon.  A few grocery staples in my area: a gallon of whole milk is $3.74, a loaf of bread is $3.34, and a dozen eggs are $1.88.
