Are rising food costs affecting how YOU eat?

Posted by Maureen, April 23, 2008

I was at my local grocery store yesterday and I am definitely seeing the change in food prices - bread, flour, vegetables, some dairy were all up substantially, with signs displayed indicating that the price of petrol is one of the contributing factors.

I feed a large family of mainly teenagers - so a signficant hike in food prices means a change in diet for us - less meat, more beans, shopping the sales, eating seasonally (living in Canada, vegetables are definitely seasonal if locally grown!).

What about you - are the prices changing your food habits? How much would things have to go up before you felt the pinch? Who has some good "frugal" family-friendly recipes?
