Taco Salad

I'm looking at a couple bulk containers of those on the table right now. The problem my wife is having isn't finding ingredients it's the higher costs this year. Butter is the biggest one. She tried making her toffy with margerine and swore to never do that again, she tried making her carmel corn with it and while the results weren't bad they weren't up to her standard so she won't be doing that again either.Not groceries but something I use a lot of...copy paper. $10 to $12 for ONE ream at wally world. $5 per ream online. Caramels (for caramel apples) are as rare as hen's teeth.
This is her just dusting up on things and she has a few new recipes. Once we get close to Christmas she really starts the baking and candy making and that's when it gets real expensive, I don't even ask how much she spends on ingredients but she gives stuff out to friends, family, neighbors, and local businesses that we do business at. An extra buck a pound on butter will really add up not to mention the higher cost of eggs and everything else.
