Inflation (In General)...

[Nicolecat]

Price jumps from a year ago...
What are they near you?

Milk:
$4.00/gal today

Gas (Lowest in the area):
$3.84/gal Regular
$4.02/gal Mid-grade
$4.16/gal Premium
$4.61/gal Deisel
*Note that each of these prices are the lowest in the area in each grade, so they are from different stations.

Fast Food:
I've noticed that Taco Bell is one of the chains to raise prices...
The bean burrito has been a 75¢ staple for ever...so they decided to put it on the 'special' menu and raise the price to 99¢ (Not that much of a difference, but it's only noticeable because everyone is doing this)

What have been some price jumps that you've noticed?

I have noticed that my favorite bread went from $2.50 a loaf to $4.25 in 18 months.

I cannot find mushrooms for under $1.99 per lb.
no more $0.99 Cucumbers.
corn on cob is now 6 for $2 rather than the 4 or 6 for $1

milk is still the same price.
eggs are $0.20 more.

oh and watermelons are ridiculously high. a couple years ago I would buy the entire thing for like $3, now a good sized one is $8-11 for 98% water!?

Bread prices are obscene. There's a Sara Lee bakery (factory) not far from where I live; the bakery store sells bread for like $1.50, while the same loaf at the supermarket goes for $3+.

My mom was just commenting earlier today about how corn on the cob is usually like 4 for $1 this time of year, but this year it's 2 for $1. Milk prices haven't changed a whole lot, but they seem to fluctuate a bit. Since 2004, bus fare increased from $1.25 per ride to $1.75, and they're talking about raising it to $2. Gas prices are over $4.50 around these parts too. A year ago it was about a dollar less. Glad I have my bicycle.

Not that much of a difference?

Going from 75 cents to 99 cents is a 32% increase!

Yeah, but in terms of checkbook crunch...it wouldn't hurt as much as it would if it had gone to $1.19

My prices are right about what yours are. With the exception of milk, which I only buy Organic these days at 6 or more a gallon.

No loss there. Gross.

fruits, veggies, and other healthier thingshave gone up. Just a couple of years ago, my grocery bill was managable, not anymore! It seems cheaper to eat fast food meals!
