We Are Alive! November 30th, 2023 The Cost of Food

Today has been a lot of running around, gathering supplies for the week and taking care of business. I am thankful for so much, that I can still fill a shopping cart fir $100 and fill my gas tank for $40. I can't help but think that the time for this is slipping away, similar to what happens in many nations, our money is loosing it's value and prices are going up. A dollar doesn't mean what it used to mean - but I hear it's very desirable in other countries!

Cost for Food

Typical cost per pound of food ranges between $3.00 and $6.00, with a few notable exceptions. I was able to find chicken lunch meat for $1.00/lb and frozen turkey for $0.50/lb (special for the season) and sweet potatoes for $0.50/lb. The biggest score was regular potatoes for $0.13/lb which is near miraculous. And I found Macraroni and cheese (powdered) for $0.67/lb. These are exceptions, though, found through diligent deal hunting - normally these are much more expensive.

This is why growing and storing our own food is critical as prices continue to rise. I'm not complaining, these things happen and they are outside of our control. We thank the Most High for our daily bread and continuing being alive and thriving!

Teach Your Children Liberty from Sin

We encourage parents to teach their children principles of Godliness, beginning with the Word and an understanding who God is and what His Son has done to form a relationship with us.

No one can lay a foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ. If anyone builds on this foundation using gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, his workmanship will be evident, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will prove the quality of each man’s work. 1 Corinthians 3:11-13

Teach Your children Liberty from Tyranny

Second to this is the principle of self-determination and freedom, lest we loose the ability to teach our children the first principle in future generations.

Our children read the Tuttle Twin books, specifically to learn libertarian principles, which most people learn later in life. These books are useful for our family, and yours, to teach children concepts that seem complicated, but are made simple in these books. I am an affiliate for Libertas Publishing, your purchase will help our family grow financially.

Bank Bailout Special!

It's happening, folks. The banks are going under! To educate our children about what is going on, there is a "Bank Bailout Book Bonanza" going on with the Tuttle Twins! Use coupon code FORTY for 40% off your purchase! Check out the books here.

Fill your gas tank for $40 ? How small is your gas tank :D ?

It's about a 15 gallon tank... gas near me is under $3.00 which is a miracle. My other vehicle has a 45 gallon tank and only gets about 9 mile per gallon.

Wow 3$ a gallon ? I had to do some conversions, because I use litres and €'s, but if I did my math correctly I got my fuel costs to be over 7$ per gallon (1,85€ per litre).

Damn I thought things were more expensive in USA than in Eastern Europe, but I guess it's not for the gas prices :D

Inflation seems to be the most notable in the US. I suspect previously, alot of it was exported but that doesn't seem to be the case anymore. I wonder what has changed.

I think people are moving away from using the USD and that cash is flowing back to the States.

Yes, I presume mostly China stopped buying so many treasuries. The Japanese carry trade also unwinding.

The rate at each everything increases it’s really hard.
Let’s be grateful to God that we are alive and we can survive the hard time.
Every country has its own problems it’s facing.

These are expenses that have to be incurred in any case because if you want to live, if you want to drive a car, you will have to put petrol in it.

Alas it is tough budgeting food cost these days. That's one of my major hurdles as I try to focus on essentials more. 1 USD = 55.36 PHP that's based on the rate today. Good job on finding the bargain. Seems like you're an expert. Do enjoy the weekend!
