Well besides those ^^^ if I didn't get a 10% discount on store brands, my grocery bill would be 20% higher...these are just on basic items.
Well.. aside from what ooh-poo was saying, a loaf of bread, eggs, milk, cheese, fruit, even hamburger has gone up over his posts figures...
btw.. I do like hot dogs..
Exactly! I buy cheese in a two lb block. In December it was $5.99, today it is $7.49.
Hamburg cracks me up when it's more expensive per lb than steak!
Makes me want to get my ma's meat grinder from her.

Perhaps you should consider buying a different 2 lb block of cheese or shopping at a grocery store with lower prices instead of whining and blaming Obama.
Heck if I knew all my customers would do if I raised the prices was bitch and blame the President, I'd SOAK em.

Is that Obama's fault, too? Its Obama's fault that Americans culture demands more hamburger meat than steak, to the point their prices approach one another.

And what's even worse, although the actual food price inflation has been very low, and is expected to not be extremely high this year, it FEELS like its been HIGHER. So many people have been talking about the food price hikes, that 0.8% increase in 09 and 10 really does feel like it was much bigger, and the 3% increase expected this year, well, so many people are talking about Obama and the economy and the grocery price explosion, it kinda feels like its going to be 86%. In fact lots of people - some with nice websites - have feltlike food prices have been exploding quite a bit recently, and that's far more important than the actual food prices.
Can I get you to feel my wallet when I walk out of the store?
It is much lighter than it used to be.
You actually weigh your wallet when you leave the store? If you've been spending a lot more on food lately, perhaps you should consider weighing yourself?
Or do you have any data at all to support your claims of high inflation? Like, PRICE, data for instance, would be helpful. I hear the U.S. bureau of labor statistics keeps track with something called a "cpi" - but -by all means- if you have better data, I'm all ears.
I just want to not for the record,that in a thread where right wingers have claimed grocery price inflation to be a big problem, on the 2nd page, so far, we have only TWO actual quotes of prices
One for HOT DOGS. and one for a 2 lb block of mystery cheese.
BTW - you guys know the biggest reason food prices change?
Changes in the amount of FOOD available to sell.

SUPPLY and DEMAND
Want to save money on groceries?...learn to cook without using prepared items.
It taste better, has faaaar less sodium and sugar content and is just all around better for you.
Basic ingredients are still reasonably cheap. It is the prepared foods that are killing the budget.
Grow your own herbs during the summer - I do it because it taste better and they require little to no maintenance and are very easy to dry and use in the winter.
Buy meat in bulk at a butcher and freeze it - I'm talking $2-$3 less a pound at least. ANNND - you know you are eating meat that contains no hormones, no hydrogen infused saline solutions, no antibiotics.

Lack of reading comprehension wins again!
When personal data overrides gov't data, I'm all ears too.
The data I have comes in the form of grocery receipts.
And that means prices are higher than they are?Did I mention I feed a family of five, four of which are high end athletes.
Everything bad is Obama's fault, or didn't you get the memo? His mean regulations have made fuel more expensive which drives up food prices.Exactly! I buy cheese in a two lb block. In December it was $5.99, today it is $7.49.

Shouldn't make yourself to look a fool.
Did I blame Obama? No.
For someone with a Phd your reading comprehension doesn't stack up.

Kinda co-coincides with the cranking up of the printing presses. Purchases are an exchange, as money loses value, it takes more of it to buy stuff.Just spreading the Good news...
We live in a resort community and we don't shop in town. They really soak the tourists around here ($6.56 for a pack of beef hot dogs) but even though we go to the nearest big town, it's pretty obvious grocery prices have gone to epic proportions with no real end in sight.
Well... guess who I'm blaming..?...

Despite the Federal Reserve's insistence that inflation is under control, Americans continue to say overwhelmingly that they are paying more for groceries than they were a year ago and they expect to be paying even more a year from now.
A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 86% of adults think they are paying more for groceries now. That's down two points from last month and consistent with findings since January 2011. Only eight percent (8%) don't believe they are paying more now.

As well they should.
The price of food has been steadily climbing since the great banksters' meltdown.
Based on my own experience, I'd say the cost of food is up about 10% overall in the last three years.
Here is the latest CPI for urban area's for the last year for food and fuel:
Food + 5.4% (Eat out +3.1, Eat Home +5.3)
Gas +9.7%
Fuel Oil +12.1% (heating oil for homes)
