Stop believing your lying eyes.

The same people who told us to appreciate saving $0.16 on our July 4th BBQs last summer are now taking the official position there is no massive food inflation.

Those skyrocketing prices you think you see at the grocery store are not real. Those announcements of forecasted price increases by the food producers, well, those are not real either.

2021 retail food price inflation continued at same pace as 2020 but varied among food categories.” Oh, but it gets even more stupid:

“USDA, Economic Research Service (ERS) researchers project that prices for food-at-home, or food purchased typically from grocery stores or other food stores, will increase between 1.5 and 2.5 percent in 2022, lower than the 3.5-percent increase that occurred in both 2020 and 2021. Forecasts for all food categories for 2022 are available in ERS’s monthly Food Price Outlook data product, updated January 25, 2022.”

All I know is I sent the wife to the store to get us a small roast and when I looked at the price I could not believe it. $10.03 a pound for a USDA Choice cut.....And that was at Aldi.....A year ago that same cut of roast at Aldi cost around $6.00 a pound.....Good thing we don't eat much beef.

Do not forget that companies reduce the quantity of product for the same price also during these times to hide the inflation. Reminded of it this morning on TV.
Yep, the ever shrinking world of food products. When was the last time anyone saw a pound of coffee or gallon of ice cream?
