Reply #3: Yeah they definitely have

I noticed a huge jump in food prices back in 06 or 07. Not sure exactly but it was around the time that gas prices had gone above $4 p/gallon. Transportation costs were supposedly the reason then, but they never went back down and in fact continued to go up.

Many items are more then double what they were only 10 or even just 5 years ago. It's getting really bad.
