Who could argue with such solid statistical data such as:
“And I can tell you, from direct experience, that food prices are skyrocketing.”
You don’t have to be a statistician to know that gas cost $1.79/gal when Obama was inaugurated. You just need to pay your own bills and live on a budget!
Although I can’t quote each price as things go up, I have noticed packaging in smaller sizes while prices remain either the same or slightly higher. My take is that what used to cost me $80-90 per week, just a year ago, the same groceries I always buy now cost me $120-140+. And I shop at Winco (a lower priced Costco store). I do prefer butter to margarine, and the butter which used to be $2 is now $4 for the pound...and it’s the cheaper brand (I prefer Challenge Butter but it is usually too expensive.) Food prices have gone up significantly...and I seldom buy chips, dips, cookies, candy, and other gimmicky foods.
I am a very careful shopper and yes, food prices are skyrocketing....
