have any of you noticed that as gas prices have increased so have the prices of groceries? I swear I think I pay $20-$25 per week more in groceries at this time this year than the same groceries last year and I typically but just about the same things every week. What is up with that?

Yes I have...I asked a Dear friend of mine who owns the market
where I shop and He told me that because of fuel prices they are charged more and then He has to charge more. He said what sucks is that he isn't making 1 penny more!

Yeah while many other things are easier to afford these times the food prizes did raise, exactly that what everyone really needs.
Just yesterday I seen a very good Docu in the year 1960 people had to work about 100 days to by a Washer now in 2008 about 9 days.
But oh well things like a washer or a vacuum wont keep people alive.
The other thing why food prizes raise is they making alternative gas, BIO ,
Many many people in India cannot afford rice or bread anymore.
Where will this all end?!

Well. I Always Say, It Could Be Worse. I Remember Back When I Was A Young Kid, And the Soviet Union{Or Russia} Was Still Whatever.
{Ok I Don't Remember That Much} But I Remember Them Saying That In Russia, A Loaf Of Bread Would Cost Like $50 To Buy.
It Was something Crazy Like That. I Think Its Cheaper Anymore To Go Out To Eat Sometimes Then To Cook At Home.
For Me To Fix A Family Of 4 Fajita's And Taco's. It Costs Me Like $30 Buy The Time I Cook It.
I Can Go To A Local Mexican Restaurant, And Spend $30, And Not Have To Prepare It, Cook It, Or Clean Up After It.
But The Best Part Is, I Get To Eat My Food While Its Still Hot, Because At Home It Takes Me Forever To Fix Everyone's Plates, Then Fix Mine!
