This morning, I am ordering groceries. The first time since 10 days ago. I order less and less these days as our appetite has been going down. Do you buy more food or less food these days?

The kids were home all day for the summer, so for a while there I seemed to have bought more. One just started school again, so we shall see how the food supply goes.

@marlina Most things went up, but how high depends on what it is. Some prices have plateaued while others actually went down.

We shop for two weeks at a time. Our eating habits have changed because it's too hot to want to cook very much right now but it's cool in the house so our appetites haven't changed, as far as I can tell. I've been eating more ham and cheese or turkey and cheese sandwiches than I do in the cooler weather but spacing my meals further apart. (Sometimes we just eat meat and raw veggies for one meal. I had a couple of slices of ham last night with some slices of bell peppers and some slices of sweet onions. Delicious.)

I buy less trying to make more prep meals that are budget and nutritious.

I am ordering a little less, due to no appetite.

@CarolDM The heat is a killer for eating.

@marlina The heat doesn’t help at all. Take care of yourself.

I buy less because of the rising costs. So although I buy fewer things, unfortunately, I don’t end up spending less money.

I am buying about the same. I will can some tomatoes soon, that will count down on some of the groceries that I will need to buy after that job is done.

I usually try to do grocery shopping for two weeks at a time. I seem to buy less but the prices are going up so I never seem to save much money.

I am not sure whether I order more or less. I would say about the same, although maybe less as I try not to spend too much money.

During pandemic, I tried ordering groceries in one of the mobile apps most of them are right. But now, I don'g do groceries. I buy what I just need for the day or two.
