Love how articles about cryptocurrencies like bitcoin are going mainstream. Time to get some mainstream media talkign about Steem Dollars and Steemit.com.
Have you noticed the cost of food going up considerably? If it wasn't for Aldi I'd probably have to go find a full time job to help feed my family.
We do grow some of our food and raise chickens for eggs, but we'd need to expand our production considerable to start making our grocery bill go down.
It might not seem like much but remember those catchy $5 Foot Long commercials for Subway Restaurant? It's now $6. A 20% increase is pretty significant. (...not that we can afford to eat out all that often.)
I really don't hear anyone talking about the price of food, though. Beef is really mostly out of reach for my upper middle class family. I'm not even sure we could be considered upper middle class anymore.
We do have a comfortable home and decent cars but the cost of consumables and extras has gotten so out of whack. Is anyone else noticing this, or are we like frogs in the pot of water set to boil? Seems like people aren't even noticing the cost of goods rising.
