Quote from makloda:
"According to the Labor Department, the average cost of groceries is climbing at an annual rate of about 5%, the sharpest increase in 18 years. Average weekly earnings are rising at an annual rate of 3.3%."
US consumers spent 7.1% of their total expenses on 'Food at home' grocery purchases (3.3k out of 46.4k). And that portion is increasing at 5% a year. So that's 5% out of 3.3k in extra expenses due to 'rampant food price inflation'. $165 extra a year. $14 a month. WOW! How terrible!
