With food prices surging more than 20% nationwide...
Where I live and shop, 20% is an extremely conservative figure. What I was paying a dollar for is hovering right below 2 bucks. And this isn’t a one-off. But many items at this ratio. Overall, I’d estimate my food bill increased approx 60% on average.
Yep ..I keep reading 20-30%.
I guess that means overall average?
Cause eggs are $3.50 a dozen or 3 times what they were several years ago.
Otherwise ,I don’t see how selling eggs for 3.50 a dozen is profitable. Because when they were $1 a dozen I bought a dozen or two eggs every week. Roughly $100 a year.
Now I only buy eggs when they are $2 a dozen or less. Last year I probably only bought about $30 worth.
