Have been following you...Hi Treesong and Sweetie!! Have been following you for quite sometime along with Michael and Mayberry. Havent been able to comment for a long time due to computer troubles. I feel your pain with the pet food. We had two kids and one with a husband move back in with us and now have 6 large dogs to feed. Dog food is killing us and continues to rise. Can't understand milk and milk products going up either. We buy powdered milk to mix with whole milk to stretch it and the large box from walmart has just gone up 2.50 in past month. Dry beans seem to be going up again as are eggs. My husband and I are supporting 6 adults and 6 dogs and it is very tight. No work around here right now. My daughter and her husband are going to school on Pell grant and his GI benfit and because of that they make too much (by 200.00) to qualify for any benefits. Most of what they get is eaten in gas to get to school and their bills. We have tightened belts so tight we are all talking three octaves higher but we are greatfull to have what we have as there are many that don't have near what we do. My heart breaks for so many. We are getting our garden in down here now as it is way to hot in the summer for anything. Will try to blow some heat your way !! Hang in there!! We appreciate all the help you have all given us!<br />Florida MomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4270739423727419862.post-71428047215045773092009-09-29T09:57:40.194-07:002009-09-29T09:57:40.194-07:00It gets tougher, and toughter.

We buy it by the case of gallons jugs and try to keep a couple of cases in our storage at all times. Yes, the yogurt prices are up which is interesting since there is a glut in the milk market... I am going to go back to making my own yogurt again - did it years ago. There is a crockpot recipe floating around that sounds pretty good.<br /><br />Your new to you car deal was great.
