Everything costs so much now
School is really starting next week! I can not believe how fast it is coming. We have gotten most of the school supplies but there are still a couple of things that we need to pick up. I can not believe that it has already cost us $200. That does not even include any clothing. That is just the actually bags and supplies.
Of course I keep getting surprised by what things cost these days. We went to the grocery store the other day and I almost passed out. We did not even get that much and it was $215. I feel bad for people that were already struggling with money. I do not know how they can still make ends meet. We have never worried about how much groceries cost and now I find myself cutting back and making smaller meals. We used to bake biscuits or bread loafs with half of our dinners but that is no longer happening. Noelle and I stopped eating bread anyway but the rest of the family is not eating less just because I do not want to make such huge meals any more.
