I looked at the grocery ads today, and the
"sale" prices of meat seem a lot higher than they were a few months ago.
I used to get bone-in chicken breasts for a dollar a pound, on sale, but now chicken legs and thighs are a dollar a pound , on sale!
Fortunately, an Albertson's store nearby marks meat down quite a bit when it is nearing the "sell by" date.
It is getting harder to stay on a grocery budget.
Actually, it seems like the price on most food has increased in the past few months. I calculated that many of the things I buy at Wal-Mart have increased an average of 12%. I imagine much of it was due to higher fuel prices. I'm not holding my breath waiting for prices to go down now that fuel prices have decreased, however.
I guess we will just have to get creative to keep our food budgets on track.
Is it my imagination, or are meat prices gooing up?

You might try Costco; haven't been there lately myself but i do remember getting chicken at .99/lb, but can't remember what part.
