Inflation Impact On Food Prices

I'd like to call your attention to two articles that will give you insight on the degree to which inflation is making it difficult to make ends meet for the average family in the United States.
.
The first article addresses the impact of inflation on your lunch costs. In particular the cost of ground beef. In the past year, the cost of ground beef burgers has increased over 16%.


The second article indicates that the impact of inflation on your breakfast costs since QE3 (Quantitative Easing 3) have increased by 24%. A breakdown of increased breakfast costs are:
  • Cocoa +8%
  • Coffee +72%
  • Butter +18%
  • Wheat +12%
  • Milk +21%
  • Orange Juice +12%
  • Sugar +6%
  • Bacon +42%
To read the full articles click on breakfast inflation or burger inflation.


Inflation is not a one-time or a short-term event. It is something we will always live with and it's likely to increase making it more difficult to make ends meet. One of the reasons I invest, is to bring in the extra money I need to pay the bills and to offset the increasing cost of inflation.
