seriously, though. Our family has already cut out beef, other than the occasional pack of ground beef.
Chicken is becoming rare for us, too.
So mostly pork, tofu or paneer for our dinners.
bacon and sausages are gone from the breakfast menu.
another year, we'll probably be vegetarians.
Was hard enough on a limited income before this. but with utilities, gas, and food going up so much this past year, it's difficult.

Bacon has been ridiculously priced for a while. Paying regular price for it is a suckers game. I typically buy it at 50% off and then freeze a few packs. With beef, I find the trick is to wait until a good roast goes on sale.
I apologize for making this somewhat political, but I wonder if the plight of families like yours is what will finally encourage Canada to break up the dairy cartels and get rid of (or at the very least loosen) the restrictions on dairy production.
I also wonder if we'll see more economic refugees heading south. The combo of decreased rent, a more diversified economy, and $1.99/lbs beef roasts may push a lot of people south.
