Money Saving Myths about Grocery Shopping

I went to the grocery store yesterday to buy a few things, just some bread, milk, and peanut butter. But of course, as soon as I got there, I remembered all the other things we needed. Still, I was shocked when I got to the checkout and saw the total. When did a loaf of bread and a gallon of milk get to be unaffordable?

The NY Daily News published an article yesterday that I found helpful. It's 10 Myths on Saving Money at the Grocery Store. It confirms what I already knew. Milk is up 19%. Bread is up 11%. Chicken is up 9%. And eggs are up a whopping 25%. Read it and weep.
