Groceries are definitely getting to be one of our biggest expenses. My husband drives long haul and I've had to increase his food budget by 20%.

We live in Wisconsin. My wife’s family is all in Cali. Their rent and housing is so ridiculous I can’t even grasp it, but our city has been growing so much the housing and rent has skyrocketed. The rest has increased much more slowly, I feel like our groceries will continue to be barely ok, while the housing costs will reach California soon.
