Soaring Food Prices

With our economy in a crisis it's no wonder that the price of food is putting a strain on people these days. People are going to the grocery store and trying to eat at home more now than ever in efforts to save money and conserve.

Nonetheless, the price of groceries are soaring too and people are trying to cope with it the best they can. Leona Campbell, Albertsons employee in Van Nuys, California for nine years says she has seen more people use more coupons this year than ever before. I find myself cutting out coupons and looking through the "junk" mail carefully for deals when I used to just throw it away before.

According to the Associated Press, The U.S. Federal Reserve says the American Economy remains "weak" as rising costs for energy and food hit consumers hard and force some companies to push their own prices higher.
