Wow, food prices are high!

It might not fit into 'eating local' but for myself, stocking up on broths, rice, pastas, mayo, salad dressing and toilet paper and soap items seems helpful for hedging on prices so I do have more money available for fresh foods.

My biggest problem is finding fresh vegs and fruit--they not only cost more, they're not as nutritious and don't last as long. Also there are big gaps on the produce and other grocery shelves now, where there used to be more kinds of food.

This time of year I limit most of my fresh to apples, onions, romaine, potatoes, broccoli,carrot cauliflower, greens and garlic. Most of that is local enough I hope, till I can grow something soon.
