What do foreclosures, groceries and gas have in common?

Foreclosures in America are up, way up this month with
Las Vegas leading the pack. Others in the fast pack of
foreclosures are Miami, Los Angeles, Phoenix,
San Diego, and San Francisco. Those were also the cities
that had the highest price increases during the boom. Now,
the prices in those areas have gone down from -28% to -22.9%
this year. Home prices dropped 15.8% from a year ago.

Groceries are way up, due to increased gas prices. Try
coupons and sales on food to save money.

Gas is slightly down in some areas, but it is still high,
far in excess of what the average American can afford.
