Food prices are definitely out of control. I've started using store brands more instead of name brands.

Same here, I'm only in my 20s and overall food prices have risen dramatically in the span I can remember. I think when we are kids just old enough to get a grasp of what stuff costs, that is what we remember forever and future prices sound increasingly outrageous.

The prices on "regular" grocery items recently took as much as a .25 cent hike in one store here, their prices are now a little hard to accept....some items I'll buy elsewhere as they were over-priced at their "old" price.  Still...nothing shocks me as much as seeing the prices on the "healthier items".  Sugar-free (or reduced sugar) items cost so much, it's no wonder average Americans consume too much sugar!  Sugar is in everything but the sugar-laden items are a third of the cost, of items without it!
