Then why has the cost of food kept rising, milk now is over $4 a gallon. And if you are trying to avoid those growth hormones it is MORE!

Even the Military Commissary has milk at $4 a gal. Bread at over $2. Meat is out the roof and becoming unfordable, unless you like to eat bologna and hot dogs and they don’t come to cheap either.

The Aldi grocery store near us in FL had bread on sale for 25 cents a loaf last week. Try it if you have one in your area.

Dollar General has bread at $1.00 (white), $1.50 (wheat, $1.50 (hot dog and hamburger buns), Milk at $3.40. when I go shopping at Walmart i look for the meats that are stuck with the yellow sale price, and I buy up a whole lot. Stick them in ice filled cooler and get them home immediately freeze in freezer.

I also go to Dollar Tree - Schwann single serve pizza $1.00. No bologna and hot dogs for me, reflux cannot handle them>

They can’t keep the prices high for long because of competition in the market will force them to lower their prices.
People will just go somewhere else where its cheaper.
Notice manufactures of food, goods, products made packaging smaller in the last 6 years when the economy has not been doing good, the value of the dollar falling ? And at the same time keep the price of the product at a reasonable level ? ( I know, I know, the prices have not been at a reasonable, but what are companies to do ?
Anyway, now with lower cost of gasoline, lower costs of transportation then watch them start making the packages larger at a lower price with packaging saying “ 30% more “ for $ 2.99.
It’s in the way, it’s coming, watch for it.

Meat will come down again. High prices cure themselves.
