The numbers wouldn’t look so good for the administration if they included food and energy costs in the calculation for inflation.
In the local grocery store I just saw a 12 ounce package of brand name bacon for more than $12 !!!
In 2010, I bought 50lbs of frozen bacon for $1.49/lb; now it’s over $8.79/lb.
I just bought 1.7 lbs of Perdue chicken breast for $10.18, and they were asking $2.19 for a 6 ounce can of solid white tuna.

Just saw some for $14.95! but it was for a pound. I guess we eill start seeing a new lower cost meat that tastes like chicken on the market after the Obamacare death panels kick into full gear.../s
Where do you live? Here in SW WI, 12oz of name brand, thick sliced hickory bacon is under $4. Still high, of course.
