Shocked at the price of food! / myLot

I'm shocked at how the prices of food has increased since Covid. Has anyone else noticed? In a report published earlier this month, which said overall, food prices are estimated to increase by five to seven per cent in 2022. However, in this report, 60.2 per cent of respondents said they expect food prices will rise even higher than the projected seven per cent. Do you think food prices will rise higher than 7%?

I'm sorry that is happening in your country , most financial guros and experts agree that the U.S. is now on a " technical inflation ", starting with the financial crisis of 2008 and the subsequent federal reserve printing of dollars to bail out banks. The pandemic only served as a catalyst because the Feds had to again print out even more. I think it would rise even higher but I'm also praying that there would be a reversal

The price of food is definitely insane. Things are definitely going up. Hopefully it doesn't going up too much higher.

There is one type of sandwich bun we like to buy. It was always 3 dollars and change. I was surprised the other day after I bought a pack, it is 4 dollars and change. Yes, everything is going up in price.

The prices are rising and I'm still finding it hard to find certain things. Plus I heard gas prices will be going up again. Certainly makes it hard to budget

@CCarolyn Every time we have a Jewish holiday the prices go up and here some things have gone down and then gone up again. I guess I am not surprised that things rise here but it is very said that prices rise and do not go down as much.

I have been noticing that the price of food has gone up for awhile now. I know it will go up more, but am not sure how much.
