INFLATION ROARS

Those of us who shop once a month got a big shock this week.  The average cart full of groceries went from $200 to $285; the pet shop tab almost doubled from $$65 to $110.  That's outrageous AND they've both down-sized everything!  At the butcher shop, however, my normal monthly $80 tab only went up to $85.  From now on, I'm doing all of my shopping at the butcher shop.
