    I hate to break the news to you anti-union guys, but grocery price increases have little to do with labor right now.

    I have given two price increases to the trade in the last 6 months- all are due to commodity cost increases (raw goods, packaging, fule/transportation, etc.). Wheat futures are causing increases in anything they touch.

    An industry trade publication just did an article that grocery prices are at a 35 year high (adjusted for inflation).

    Also look carefully at how inflation is constantly being re-defined so as to look less severe than it really is.

    Food prices are considered a global emergency right now and everyone is suffering.

    Labor and health costs are DIRECTLY related to the cost of food as is foods over regulation for "safety".


    You are staring right at the problem of too much regulation.

    99 Cents Only stores is opening a new store in Havazoo. I shop at my local 99 cents weekly and save at least $20 a week. IE: Eggs, bread, english muffons, chips, canned goods, gift cards,cookies, all at 99 cents!

    yea. Ditto what others are saying here.

    The Gov't calculation of inflation has been bogus for some time now. To exclude food and energy into inflation calculations is criminal. Its the largest expenses for just about every family in america.

    Just another way that our beloved leaders try to hide the criminal effects of the federal reserve and or liberal controlled politicians. If there's checks in the checkbook, there must be money in the account.

    Well I have to say that even with some prices rising Smith's for me provides a decent value......especially if buying gas. I spent about a hundred dollars in groceries then got .80 cents off per gallon at the gas pump......that's $24.00 dollar saved on 30 gallons.

    With as many farmers that have been paid by THIS Administration to leave their fields unplanted its no surprise the cost of food in general has risen........better expect it to get worse before better.

    You ever pay attention to a ground beef recall when someone gets a little sick?

    Last one I remember was recalling 2 MILLION pounds of hambuger because 120 people claimed food poisoning. That's EIGHT MILLION 1/4 pound patties.

    120 cases of the runs?

    Gimme a flucking break.

    Liberals just chose to ignore relevant information about the world they live in, and then call themselves sophisticated for having chosen to be more stupid than God made them.
