WSJ Your Money Briefing · How High Food Prices Are Changing Consumers’ Shopping Habits · 27 Sep 2022 podcast

So, the things that I can buy in bulk, I'll do at Sam's.

We have a nice size family.

I have four siblings and my mom and my stepdad, we share Sam's memberships.

So, that helps.

Dollar store for everyday household things, cleaning supplies, paper towels, toilet papers.

Those are the areas that I will skim the cheaper route in.

to make up for the healthier choices in groceries, gas, there's just no way around that.

There's different areas that we definitely pick from to make up the difference.

It makes you feel like you're drowning sometimes, you know, when you know that you're doing everything that you can to provide, you know, you're doing the best that you can to be a mother and a parent at the same time, you know, my two older children, I'm

full-time parents.

So I don't get the option of just not getting up and doing what I have to do for them and then getting to work.

So I don't get to work that full-time job.

And so it's, you know, working part-time in between running schools here and there and getting home, cooking dinner and still doing all those things.

And

At the end of the day, when you're doing all this and it's five days a week, and then you get to the bottom and you're like, okay, we need milk.

We need basic bread, necessities, things for breakfast for them to go to school and have healthy meals.

And you see that, okay, the assistance that I get is not enough.

The money that I made, hey, went to paying bills and putting gas in the car and buying these few little extra groceries.

But then I've seen myself literally counting change and cashing in change just to

get the things that we need.
