US Food Prices Sharply Up

[No Shoes]

Would you say food prices have become reasonable now since 2007 or worse

Definately more expensive, although there is more choice of where to buy.

We are spending longer periods at the coast (Bradenton) and shop at the farmers market etc where fresh produce is tastier and more reasonably priced.

I noticed a small increase, but we do have many choices were we stay! So lots of competition.
Eating out is still our favourite option

I haven't a clue what bread, eggs, butter, cheese, fruit etc costs in Florida. I go buy what we need and that's it. We dine out a lot when in Florida which I still think is great value .
Grocery and fuel prices will always be a ongoing topic of conversation all over the world. I can remember as a child my mother complaining bread had increased in price in 1955 from 4p to 5p!!

I'm sorry, I may just have to moderate that post for being too off topic ... 1955 ... YIKES!!! Florida hadn't even been invented by then!![msnsmile2]

Very true, what can you get for 5p anymore?

Barbara you would be surprised as all the items you mention barring eggs, are much more expensive than UK now. That never used to be the case but prices have soared over the past couple of years.

Like you, we buy what we need and also eat out but it doesn't stop me looking at the prices.[msnwink]
