The prices for groceries are higher than we have seen in years. In fact, some say that the prices are at a 30 year high here in the Western New York area.

We are blessed to have a variety of shopping options when it comes to getting the food we need. From local mom and pop stores, to the larger chains like Tops and Wegman's and Aldis, we can pick and choose where to shop and what we are willing to pay.

The most popular grocery store in the Buffalo area seems to be Wegman's.

But if we can grab one of the "race car" carts for the kids to sit in, that is a game changer!
