A typical trip to the grocery store will cost you 9% more today than it did a year ago.
The Marketbasket Survey, conducted by the American Farm Bureau Federation, says a basket of things like bread, milk, eggs and pork chops will cost you $3.50, or 8.9%, more this year than last. A five-pound bag of flour and a dozen eggs were among the items that saw the greatest rise in price. Both are up over 40% since January 2007.
Bacon is the only foodstuff cheaper this year than last. We hope you like BLTs… minus the bread… and the lettuce.
