I know some prices have risen, but I hate to see the language bastardized by the use of hyperbolic words such as “soar.” When prices really do “soar” you won’t need a journalist to tell you about it.

So those charts in the article don’t show prices soaring?

You don’t think hamburger meat at $5/lb. is “soaring”? Millions of shoppers think so.

In Chicago grocery stores:

Milk: $3.79/Gal
Tomatoes: 3.89/Lb
Green Peppers: 2.49/Lb
Ground Beef (80% Lean): $4.89/lb
Chicken Thighs (Cheapest Cut): 2.29/Lb
Butter: $4.29/Lb

These are just a few select items from my grocery shopping this weekend. These prices are at least double and in some cases near triple what these items cost just 5 years ago.

Granted, this is Commie-cago but still... Time to wakey wakey!

Prices have "SOARED" and the American people are already well aware. How can we miss it? But that doesn't stop the Govt. from not including energy, fuel and food prices in their inflation calculations at a time when literal "war" has been declared on the energy industry. This of course, drives up food prices but hey! What, me worry?

Apparently you do, or you could just ask your wife.
