Anyone notice food prices are a lot higher?

We might just get back to making homemade refried beans - thanks for reminding me. We lived in Conn. for 3 years once and made our own. Back then couldn't get tortillas at all, so we had them fedexed from Calif! We only get frozen stuff for those days when we're exhausted and don't want to go to a lot of trouble at dinnertime. I haven't gotten our first elec. bill, though - definitely had a high energy bill in Calif. for heating (which was almost all year round), but here we're running those fans all the time and have a pool, too, neither of which we ran there. So I don't know what to expect!

btw, $700 for a water bill? Whoa. And I thought we had high bills on Calif. coast!
