Take a tour through some local ethnic or large farmer's markets to see what quality they have to offer for what price. You may be surprised ... I was.

That's what happens when you use a basic food for a fuel source which it is not suited for... in an engine not optimized for that type of fuel. Prices of its derivative products soar, as well as substitutes for those products.

<br />Statistics show food prices in general have increased about 80% since 2005. I read they've gone up sharply in 2008, about 40%. The average family food bill has doubled since 2003. It's really criminal, isn't it? I guess people will have to change their shopping habits and eat more rice & beans (which is really tasty and good for you too.

I feel sorry for people with children to feed. I'm retired, and the only thing that saves me, is that my house is paid for. Everything basic has gone up, and getting more and more outrageously priced day by day!!!Where is it all going to end!!!

I don't remember where you live but here in metro Detroit, chicken wings 67Â¢/lb. That is a great price but they are often $1.00/lb. Cheese has gone up recently, but a sale price is 1 lb for $3.99 to $4.99. Watermelon, personal size, about the size of a Honey Dew melon was $2.00 a week ago. Regular seedless, $4.99 (and even less sometimes). Gallon of milk, $2.50 to $3.00. 10lb bag of Idaho potatoes, maybe $3 or less, been awhile since I looked. Michigan potatoes, even cheaper. I can't offer exact prices for your other items. But you are certainly right, prices keep going up almost daily.... [ More ]

We went to the W- -- - -t to buy groceries and I was so disgusted. A pack of chicken WINGS was selling for $7.57 cents.. They used to have those buttery flavered rolls that is in their deli department for 5 large for 2.50. Now they are 4 large for $2.88. I must say, I passed those in a hurry. Grocery prices are outrageous! Generic freezer bags were $1.78 for 13. A watermelon (small) is almost $6.00. A 1-lb block of cheese is $5.88. I bought ramein noodles (15 cents a pack) and of course my meat staple-turkey necks. (3.00 for a pack of 4..I always look for the large ones.) Can't find the wings and when you do they are almost $6.00 for 1 of them. I had to buy something to make lunches with so I bought 2 pks of luncheon meat for $5.00. 4 lbs of the lean ground beef sells for $17.50 or more. A 10 lb bag of Potatoes is $5.00. A gallon of milk is $4.00. If I had children, I would have three jobs. I don't know how people make it.
