“Rising food costs almost ruined the idea of the family dinner. You can’t just go out and buy these massive amounts of ingredients... The cost of it is just too much.” Families tell MarketWatch how they are cutting back:
Lane, 44, lives with her husband, an art director, and four children in Harrisburg, Pa. A few years back, Lane quit her job as a nurse to take care of her kids, including one child who has a disability. The family now lives on her husband’s income.
“‘You can’t just go out and buy these massive amounts of ingredients — those big chickens and turkeys, and big meat loaves.’” Lane’s family is not alone. American consumers are feeling the pinch as interest rates continue to rise. Around two-thirds of consumers said they were worried about their ability to buy food at least once in the past month, according to a recent LendingTree survey.
The Lane household found some small joys elsewhere. Lane and her 4-year-old daughter, Josie, look up simple, cheap recipes under $5. Since the little one loves cooking, the two will experiment with the recipes together. If a recipe is a hit, it’s added to the family’s food list.
