I went shopping today and the meat prices are high. However, those package
sausages from Hillshire, Echridge, johnsonville are awful and full of salt.
I prefer the sausages that are made fresh from the butcher shops, they seem
to have more meat flavor than that strong salty taste.

Bacon, hamburger and other processed meats are going through the roof. The
deli counter... The cost of roast beef and Swiss cheese prices may force to
me to eat healthier. However, the low grade process American cheese is
still cheap, but how much milk is really in those products.

The prices of produce are like wow, red sweet peppers going for $2.50 each,
corn... Two ears for a dollar :0

The good news, I had my first salad today from my own garden. Mostly
Romain, ButterCrunch and spinach lettuces. Salivating and looking towards
the fall harvest.
