mizzdy, yes! i remember when they were about twenty cents!

i think the price may have just gone up recently... the walmart market at lamb & charleston is where i paid... i think it was 7.99 this time for the jennie-o peppered turkey. i used to pay 5.99.

heck they used to be the one place you could find bread for under a buck, as long as it was their brand. just a few months ago, they sold their brand for seventy two cents. now even that is 1.12 i think.

We love that peppered turkey too LadyC and I believe it's like 7.99 a pound here. And there bread has gone up to a 1.29 a loaf. Their milk has also gone up from 3.99 a gallon to 4.49 a gallon. And we go through at least 5 gals. a week. 7 kids here.

I hear it mentioned a lot that one reason our meat is getting so high is because of the growing demand in China and elsewhere in the Asian market.

Another reason is so much of their feed (corn) is going to make ethanol.

Shad,

I think the biggest culprit behind the price increase is the increase in gasoling prices. When the price of gas rises, everything else goes with it because everyone uses gasoline to move their product. Ultimately this cost is taken out on the consumer, as is usually the case. For now fast food might seem a viable option, but it won't be long until you see the increase in their prices as well. All businesses will find a way to make up for the extra costs they are incurring, so all we can do is pray and learn to cut more corners in our budgets. God bless and best of luck to you, unfortunately these prices will not be falling anytime soon.

Well, food in Canada is ever getting more expensive as well. Back in January, for some reason I started thinking about greenhouse gardening. I don't know if God put it on my heart to grow my own vegies and food but it suddenly appeared as almost an obsession:>) So I spent 3 months researching greenhouses:>) In April I started looking around and not finding anything to my satisfaction I put the idea on the backburner. Just the other day we had a little extra cash come in and low and behold that very same day it came in on a flyer that greenhouses were 1/2 price! Well, I ended up buying one. I think maybe God is pushing me that way.

Anyway for you folks planning on hitting the fast food dollar menus...don't do it! Why put your health at risk for a few dollars? It is due time that people started growing thier own food though, backyard gardens, etc. I also have chickens for meat and eggs, and will probably add a goat for milk eventually if things get that bad. There is a food crisis on the horsizon, best be prepared.

As Christains we tend to have the attitude that God will supply, and that is not a wrong attitude by any means, but we have to really think about our 'grocery store' mentalities nonetheless. God supplies seeds and sunshine and rain and everything we need to be able to take care of ourselves...just sitting and waiting for manna to fall from the sky or a neighbor to drop off produce doesn't exactly fit when God has given everything you need to be able to help yourself and those who may be to old to garden anymore. Just something to think about.

You have a point there:>) But many of us can, and those who can should start because it doesn't look like things are getting any better. In the last five years things have a gotten out of hand. Even my husband, who usually buries his head in the sand, is starting to think alot more towards self sufficiency. Alot of people are leaving the cities for the country life now if it is at all possible for them to do so.

LadyC,

As kids we used to go the bread store and get the day old bread not much of that anymore at least not around here. I haven't looked at the local bread maker here though but I should! I was just at my Walmart (Rainbow and Spring Valley) last Tuesday and payed 6.99 i think but will look tomorrow, I only shop one day a week since I can't drive anymore. Fried baloney yum!! heck I even eat baloney, peanutbutter and jelly sandwiches! lol My husband won't eat the sandwiches but will eat the fried baloney, I think it must be a southern thing!

I also think those storms are going to give us all grief. And whats up with this ethanal stuff? I would like to know how many of us has seen a gas station that sells the stuff. China's crops as well as others have been destroyed by quakes and flooding so it seems we are going to have to start looking down South America and Mexicos way for more and more food imports.

Spam Spam The Wonder In A Can

on the serious side, i did see a news blurb that stated spam sales had risen 20%. i guess this is why.

btw, i'm trying not to feel smug when i walk out to the yard before dinner and bring back a nice bundle of lettuce and greens. i'm watching that one green pepper out there like a hawk - lol

speaking of watching like a hawk, when i see a sale, for instance the concord grape juice that was $1.98, i'm gonna grab about 10 jars at least, same with any sales.

time to forget the list, take your weekly grocery money and whatever you see on sale, buy a whole pile of it. i plan to get a winter's worth of groceries before september and hope it all levels out by by spring '09.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Daniel: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 3

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
