I'm getting used to having to mortgage my firstborn in order to fill up at the pump.My stomach gets butterflies when I'm at the grocery checkout. When the cashier tells me the total and I think "big money, ouch! that was a whammy!"
Let's face it, everyone is out to get my money. I've become calloused to the fact.
Almost.
My last trip to Target found inflation rearing it's ugly head yet again.
The popcorn/drink combo is no longer $1.00. That's right, the one constant in my life is no longer. They now stick you $1.50. I about declined. And then I looked at my kiddos in the cart. How could I face them or my shopping list without popcorn. So I opened up my shrinking wallet, shelled out the cash, and enjoyed an otherwise pleasant shopping experience.

Last night we ran to the store for just a few things to tide us through and snacks for the weekend. We bought so little I almost choked with the cashier told us the total. I'm hoping shopping back home will be a welcome treat!
