The Producer Price Index made available by the Bureau of Labor and Statistics this morning has now confirmed those fears. Consumers are seeing an immediate impact to their wallets in the form of food price inflation and in all likelihood the trend will continue going forward.
These latest numbers are serious. So much so that according to Zero Hedge, “the last time food prices spiked by this much in one month, the resulting Arab Spring wave of revolutions tumbled governments across north Africa and the middle east.”

I do the same, buy it, toss it in the freezer for later.
Tell myself mostly it’s AGED beef, so won’t hurt ya none...
And you got that right, I remember when snap, crackle and pop was cereal, now I hear that getting out of bed.
LOL ... I do too, the snap, crackle and pop each a.m. on stumbling to my feet. Seems like yesterday was doing fifty sit-ups, fifty push-ups, running five miles and that was all before breakfast.
Food is a necessity at this household and cutting corners during rising food costs is difficult but the AGED beef of purchasing markdowns is suitable (imho) if I find no coloration of green. Love salads but do not purchase green colored meat. Green scares me on meat and though love extra green folding money in my pocket have not yet resorted to eating green colored meat. May have to one day but thus far that day has not arrived, thankfully. Am surprised the meat market managers allow meat on the shelves which have begun taking on the color of green but they allow in this neck of the woods. Maybe green coloration is the new color red for AGED beef and maybe even the green coloration is not unhealthy but something about green coloration to meat leaves me not wanting to purchase.
May you have a great evening Shadowstrike. Think am going to call today over and get ready to face snap, crackle and pop in a few hours.
Will do. Watch for new thread later on this afternoon.
You could be right. Excercise is important and walking is one of the best.
Our garden has helped us to stay within the same budget as we had in 2008 so far.
It’s not just food prices. The price of all types of goods have skyrocketed (again).
You might want to re-educate yourself.

Since I quit eating beef regularly, I feel more energy, my blood pressure has dropped towards normal. I still eat beef occasionally but never more than once a week. I have noticed whenever I eat beef, my bowel slows down and that causes many side problems. I am eating a lot of lentils and yellow chick peas, fresh chicken cooked at home, and whole grain bread. This diet is working wonders!
