A $5.00 Box of Cereal Last Month Now Costs $8.00
What is really going on
My box of cereal costs $8.00. Last month it was $5.00
Gas is almost $2.00 a litre. It was over $150.00 to fill my econobox.
Bird seed jumped from $16.00 to $26.00 overnight.
“Janice, how can you be so selfish?” “Don’t you care about what is going on in the world?” “Don’t you know people are suffering?”
Of course I do. There is inconceivable heartache, destruction, injustice, and death.
I watch the news. My heartbreaks. I wish I knew what to do.
But, I also don’t want to bury by head in the murky sandbox of rhetoric, sentimentality and lies.
I am reminded of the war in Ukraine, Covid, production costs, shipping costs, and supply and demand. I just kind of feel that we may all be being taken for an “expensive ride.”
Could there be more?
Is there a silver lining?
The price of food is way up. Are we making wiser and healthier food choices?
