Yes, your groceries are costing more each month
Yes, your groceries are costing more each month; here’s what’s behind the price increases


The latest numbers from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, which released its monthly consumer price index data last week, show a 0.4% increase in food items — for food both at home and away from home — for the month of April, for all urban consumers. There was a 2.4% increase over the past 12 months. (The 12-month increase for all items was 4.6%, the largest 12-month increase in more than a decade).

Eating less is better for our health. The obesity epidemic is out of control.

That's because your mom is sleeping with the dirty Paki who owns the curry shop.

Re: Yes, your groceries are costing more each month
Yes, I hear you, and am seeing it in the grocery stores. I shop once a week (two stores) and have seen the price of meats (all kinds) going up. I only get a beef steak when I see one in the bin marked 30-50% off). I wait for boneless chicken to go on sale (about every 5 weeks). We both love to cook, so we're inventing new dishes where meat isn't the main part of the meal.

We eat most meals in, and have a small flock of chickens (for eggs only...we don't slaughter when they get older) so we have eggs to share with our neighbors, and several of them are gardeners, so we get zucchini and tomatoes in season.

I'm stocking up on coffee because I read that the area of South America that produces most of the beans has had a bad year, so sooner or later it'll be quite expensive, and harder to find.

After last year's difficulty finding yeast, flour, and canning lids and rings, I'm slowly stocking up on all of them (the canning stuff for trading). But my freezers are pretty full, so I'm not panicky, and we have several streams of retirement income.

My garden (mostly raised beds because of the wild bunnies) is off to a shaky start, but we're working on it this year like it will really matter...cause we both think it will.
