They are not telling the story of food price inflation

60. Eggs are truly awful! Yet still a cheaper protein

alternative to meat. I used a lot of eggs between Thanksgiving and Christmas because I baked a lot of cakes. (these were auction items at fundraisers and requests pile up at holiday time.) $6.99 for an 18 pack even at Winco.

WINCO has some good values. I am still finding decent fresh food prices at Sprouts but far less variety.

What I am dreading is the long range effect of the flooding in CA. A lot of dairy and produce comes out of CA and nothing can be planted until the fields dry up. The cows can still produce milk, but if the fields are flooded, there isn't grass for them.

I keep rice and beans in my pantry, and stock up on cases of the canned goods I habitually use when I am at Costco. The canned chicken breast and (new) roast beef are fabulous for soups. The chicken also makes good chicken salad and enchiladas.
