today me and the girls went to but groceries at wal-mart. i am constantly surprised at the rising cost of things. now you must remember when david and i first got married we could live on $50 of groceries for two weeks. you know, buying on package of hot dogs and making them last for two meals. we were very poor. we would make a pot of spaghetii last for three if not four meals. it astounds me that milk at w.m. is $4.27 a gallon. i remember when it was $1.19. i am floored. don't worry no need take up a collection, i am just floored at the rising cost of things. here's a little tid bit.... my mom fed 9 people in the 70's ( i had 3 big brothers and one sister that could eat like the boys) for what she could feed just her and dad in the 90's.
here is something else that amazes me. david and i just a few short years could order two meals at almost any restaurant for a little under $20.00. now when we go to eat out and most the time david and i split and hannah and bekah split and it runs us about $32.00.
david and i feel very blessed,but geez where does it end? i guess i am still the little girl who lives in a live farm house in the country. i still think everything should be the same price it was back then.
p.s. Thank you God, that you provide, so that i can feed my family. i work with many children whose parents barely can. Please make their provisions stretch far, far.
