The price index for groceries is expected to surge 3 to 4 percent nationally this year, according to the US Dept. of Agriculture. From the article: The Post calculated the average cost of 12 grocery items at three Manhattan supermarkets:
2010 total: $50.74
2011 total: $59.85
The 3-4% inflation rate in food is a pure lie.

Those 12 items must not have included bacon, orange juice, milk or cheese. Breakfast foods in particular are way up.

Let's see: (59.85 - 50.74) / 50.74 = 0.1795.
Maybe it's because I haven't been to the latest union run schools, but in my book that's an 18% increase - NOT 3-4%. I guess when you use libtard math things don't seem so bad.

The price index for groceries is expected to surge 3 to 4 percent nationally this year, according to the US Dept. of Agriculture. So how does that compare to the cost of regular gasoline which was well under $3/gallon at the start of this year?
