Gas prices hit 3.95 today but groceries seem to

[doc03]

have made up the difference. Being single I buy a lot of frozen dinners they have doubled. Steaks at $14 a pound!
Panera bread pick two with water $12.

1. Grocery cost reductions are likely to lag gas price reductions. We are currently paying for

groceries that have already been transported by shippers that paid the previous weeks' higher fuel costs.

2. But once they go up they don't go down.

3. I paid $122 at the grocery store last week

Stunning!

OK, so that included a two pound bag of coffee beans from my local roaster - Morning Mud. Yum.

But no wine and only one package of ground beef for tacos in that cart.

5. When my three sons were teenagers

A grocery trip easily cost me $250 and that was ten years or so ago. I can’t imagine what that would translate to today.

15. My brother has 4 kids

10, 13, 17, and 20. Plus him and his wife. Their grocery bill is $1300/month.

6. Beer is cheaper than coffee

[leftieNanner]

12. This is true

But it just doesn't go well with egg and toast.

22. +1 LOL!

[Diamond_Dog]

4. I saw butter today $4.19/lb.

And it wasn’t even the name brand, either.

Funny, gas was the exact same price per gallon. $4.19

[onecaliberal]

7. $5.56 Not going down even a little here.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. I saw a steak with a pricetag of $73 at the food emporium

where I work. I was wondering who would buy one steak for that price.

[Meadowoak]

9. $3.98 gal. Here in central KY.

[spooky3]

10. Food is sky high here in NoVA, too. And paint - $67 a gallon

with a “designer’s discount.” I understand building materials have gone up 26% in the past 18 months due to supply chain disruption and other factors.

[leftieNanner]

13. Paint is expensive

If you can get it.

When we painted our house last fall, the painter bought the paint several months in advance so he would have it when it was time to do our project.

[spooky3]

16. Yes. availability seems better than a year ago, but

The store still has signs posted about difficulties they are having.

[FloridaBlues]

11. Hopefully these prices don't lag too long at grocery stores

Very happy about gas prices going down. Hopefully improves poll numbers 🤞

[samnsara]

14. butter is under 3$ a pound at fred meyer

...thats Grocery Discount range...

[Earth-shine]

17. Costco rotisserie chickens are still $5. That's what we're eating.

[Ziggysmom]

19. My husband loves cutting up those and using to make homemade pot pies. I'm sick of

them, but its his favorite dinner we have a couple times a month

[Earth-shine]

20. You would hate my kitchen output -- chicken salad, chicken soup, chicken side dishes ...

We use the whole bird, and make soup from the bones.

[roamer65]

18. With the Russo-Ukrainian war and the droughts, I expect food prices to skyrocket.

[Baggies]

21. Prices keep going up

Gonna get even more rough

[mitch96]

23. $3.85 in West central Florida and going down every couple of days..

It's the Prez fault we have such low prices...
It could be worse. Prices around the world, dollars per US gallon
Greece*. 8.9088
Denmark* 8.9099
Israel*. 8.0079
Norway*. 8.0709
Iceland*. 8.33811
Hong Kong 8..448

24. Transportation costs are factored into groceries will take 4-6 weeks to reverse

if gas prices are stable.
