As a single person household, my typical weekly grocery bill ran about $28 three years ago. Last year it was around $40. More recently, it has been around $60.

Many food item prices have jumped 25% or more, and many of those have also been the afflicted with product shrinkage.

We paid 9.00 for a dozen chicken wings 9.00. Remember when you could get this for 3.00?????????????????
We cut them in half and cooked them and fed five people. I have a family of four to feed, I shop one day a week and if the kids eat all the snacks well it's too bad!!!!!!

YES!

Product Shrinkage = Hidden Inflation.

Been saying this for years.....
