I've not seen soaring food prices or limits.
I was just at Wal-Mart this morning and ground chuck was plentiful and still the same price it was six weeks ago.(maybe longer)
There are some bare spots on the shelves.
I was surprised to see that canned diced tomatoes, store brand, was $0.46 a can...the same price it was in 2009.

FYI, the Walton family are the richest people in five different US states.

How much does prime aged beef cost in NYC or DC? That’s all that matters.

Food inflation is always skewed because it is easy to substitute the benchmarks or just avoid them altogether.

“Core inflation” consists of everything that one doesn’t need to buy.

On and off, here in Western Penn., I have seen shortages of meat, eggs, butter, milk, pasta, soup, canned goods and of course paper products. Limits on purchases of many items, paper, soap, cleaners, and now meat. We had ample warning from abroad this would happen here, but nothing was done (not sure what could be done, though).

With the economy shot to blazes the inflation caused by the “economic stimulus” checks will not be measurable.

Wife just called me from the grocery store and said that ground beef, 80/20, was $5.99/lb while it's usually $4-5/lb. What makes no sense is that here in the Missouri Ozarks, we're surrounded by beef cattle

Amazing how if you exclude Energy, Food and Housing, there is NO Inflation.
