How else can you explain the hike in food. It was close to a year before I was able to go into a food store and the prices hit me like a brick. Kraft cheese at bjs now over $11 and the price of beef. That same pack of chop meat paid little over $10 is now $20. Steak packs going over $30 and your classer cuts packs $50, $60 and up. I haven't heard the cows striking for more money, might forget lamb. Geez my mom used to get a leg of lamb as big as a cows leg now they are size of a small roast. Foodsaver have gotten as important in the kitchen as fridge and stove. How do you save money when sales aren't even sale's anymore
