Judy yes I was sad McCain didn't win. But I will support Obama as President will give him chance. This ecomony is so messed up I doubt he will make a difference. The ecomony will take a long time to thrive again . Hope he does what he promised for he is a good speaker. Let's see what he does.

The economy is scary. It seems to me that it just is so bad. When I heard that GM might close, I couldn't believe it.

I went grocery shopping yesterday and it cost me $89.01! I think it would have cost about $70 a couple of years ago. I used to look for sales. I don't see many right now. Except for the 5 Healthy Choice dinner for $10.00! Not bad.

I do know that whoever won for President is going to have a very hard time fixing the economy.

I feel that I should do some volunteer work for the holidays. I feel so sorry for the families that can't afford heat, much less holiday goodies.

$89 for food shopping??? I want to go where you go! haha I live alone and shop for only myself and my food bill is about $150 when I go. Now I usually go once a month and then just have to run out for milk or yogurt or something small once or twice a week, but Id say overall for just myself I spend probably $250 a month on food. Scary!

I think the $89 will last me for about 10 days - so 90 x3 = $270. We're on the same budget! Imagine if we had to shop for 2 or 3 kids and a husband!

Groceries are getting expensive, but if you stick to the fresh things on the edges of the store and stay away from the processed things in the middle, you will be healthier and your bill will be less. Just a thought.

Oh I wish... not here. Its cheaper to eat junk food. Its always on sale. Fresh fruit, veggies and dairy are always soo expensive. Especially in the winter. I do try to only shop the perimeter though, I know its the healthiest way to shop. Thats a great tip! Notice how ice cream is in the perimeter though? I always end up coming home with ice cream! hhhhmmm hahahaha
