Have food prices risen as in your area lately?

[bostonphil]

Yes, prices have been rising over the last few months.  And considerably so, not just by a penny or two.  Some prices have gone up 25 cents in a very short period of time.  It is very hard on me.  I am a senior citizen who live in HUD housing for lower income seniors.  I get a small social security check and I still need to work p.t. to have any quality of life.  We have not had a raise in our social security for two years now because, supposedly, there is so little inflation.  But all my bills have risen considerably such as electric.  And food is sky high.   All the basic necessities have gone up.

Most definitely.Between the food and gas prices,it seems a losing battle sometimes.

[eman27]

Most definitely. Food prices nowadays is rediculous.  But it comes from the price (or should I say cost) of other things going up and the companies just passing the cost onto us consumers.  Sucks but what can you do but be more creative, utilize coupons, and make sure to get neccessities and not just junk when you go grocery shopping.

Some things have gotten more expensive.  It goes up a few cents each month.  Candy is extremely high.  Guess that is the governements way of saying we don't need it.

[squirrelgirl44]

I did a stock up trip on some staples a few weeks ago and I was SHOCKED at how much things had gone up in the last few months.

I only buy things on sale mostly and plan around the ads, I bought a can of cambells soup the other day for 39 cents, I would never pay 1. 50, that is outrageious.
