I'm gettin grouchy like my dad. OMG cup of yogurt used to cost about 40cents now its HOW MUCH?? Never mind I'll make my own. OMG gallon of milk is HOW MUCH??

We haven't bought beef for many years so I have no idea how much steak costs. We buy NZ leg of lamb, lamb chops... free range organic chicken... farmers market and trader Joe's. Monthly grocery for the two of us is around $600. It's my partners fault. She likes junk food and pre-made stuff.

I am afraid I am not a big lamb liker. It is a bit strong for me.
It's funny you and my dh sound a bit alike. He is always saying things like "How much are tennis shoes?, I remeber back when you could buy a pair of vans for like $15.00, now they are how much?" And they aren't custom made anymore either.
What kind of junk food does your partner eat. See I thought the junkier food was less expensive. You know cause it seems like all that stuff is on sale all the time. It seems to cost more for organic. Like organic milk which I buy. But I only go through a half gallon a week so I guess it even's out.
Do you two eat out a lot?
Do you have a good lamb recipe? maybe that is my problem, my dad used to cook lamb and the only way I could eat it was with mint jelly. It was so gamey!
