America's poor? + Money saving grocery tips

Watching gas prices in CT go above $4 for only 87 octane, I can't help but wonder how folks making minimum wage at jobs 20 miles away from their homes are continuing to make ends meet here. It sickens me, actually.

Then, I saw this front page article on the coffee shop counter, and I was saddened to realize that we really might be moving toward an economic depression of sorts.

The article also made me realize how high groceries have been lately. Am I the only one who feels like she's getting less and less for her buck? My local grocer has plenty of deals on items like Celeste pizza-for-one (5 for $5... Zesty 4-cheese is the best) and Scooby snacks (3 boxes for $4), but the cost of fresh, healthy foods really adds up.

In lieu of that, and in an effort to save more $$, I found this Miami Herald article that gives tips on getting the most food for your money. Happy (cheaper) eats!
