Readers, we want to hear from you. How are you dealing with high grocery and food prices?

With food costs taking up an increasingly large chunk of household budgets, The San Diego Union-Tribune would like to hear from readers.

How much more are you spending on your monthly grocery bill now, compared to six months and a year ago?

Are you changing your food and grocery purchasing habits due to high prices?

What strategies are you using to try to keep your costs down?

Are you making cuts to other parts of your budget in order to afford food?

Please share your name, email address, phone number, and a brief description of your challenge affording groceries. A reporter may reach out to set up an interview. Your information would only be used with your permission.
