We are still having trouble with the well.  Probably need a new well casing.    Thats just not going to happen right now.  At least so far I can wash and clean with it, but all cooking/drinking water is bottled.  We went out to day to get some more jugs.  Then we just refill them at the conservation park.  Frustrating they have good water but ours was better! LOL  We may end up putting in a good filter system probably cheaper then a new well casing for the mean time...

I did a little price checking while out.  Another store had not raised there milk price yet it was 5.49 a gal.  I did get a good deal on cheese blocks half price.  4 was the limit so I got two cheddar and 2 mozza, should last us a month or two.  Dh makes pizza every weekend and a block makes 4 to 6 pizzas.

Thurs. we stopped for rabbit feed and its gone way up to.  24% over 3.00 more per bag.  I expect it has a lot to do wight the world wide wheat shortage.  Also the corn going up in price.  There is a high demand for corn for ethanol.  Leaves less for feed and raises the price.

I've decided to put myself on a pantry challenge.  Anyone want to join in?  With the exception of dairy and fresh veggies, I'm trying not to buy anything for a while.

DH said our large freezer has been making odd sounds. Soooo I'm going to start canning at least a batch a day.  I find it more helpful to have precooked canned meat on hand anyway.

Sorry to hear about the well!!!

The milk prices here are high, but not that high!!! Geesh, we are panicing because the prices of a gallon of milk are about $4.00 here!!! Prices on almost everything have went up. We live in the city and the prices on our electricity for most in our town have went up $50.00-$75.00 a month....all of a sudden like!!!

We usually buy our groceries once a month and then because of meals we eat out with family, etc. it usually stretches farther than that most times. I am using up what we have in the freezers now before buying much more, but this weekend I plan on buying some items for Thanksgiving baking (pumpkin bread, etc) to take to my SIL's who is hosting it at her house this year. I absolutely hate grocery shopping closer to the holidays, so I will make my shopping days way before or after Thanksgiving and Christmas!!!

God Bless,
Amy Jo

Weird! Went to grants on Saturay and the milk price was back down to $5.4? again! But everything else has increased so much, I actually had to stop the teller when what normally leaves me with lots of money left over, ended up going way over my limit!!! Scary! I can't join your pantry challence as my pantry is pretty bare :( I have to stock up on EVERYTHING!

Blessings, curious to know where about do you live?

Here in Northern Michigan, our milk is about 3.29 per gallon...bread seems to be the same price.

Isn't food outrageous now!??? I would really like to get a milk cow...

Blessings....Kelly
