Must be a national average. Of course this time of year many fruits and vegetables are imported.

Is that a strawberry you're sporting as an avatar? Imported or domestic?

I was hoping that was a ladybug. At McDonalds (the last time I took my nephews around Christmas) tomatoes had to be requested due to the cost. I guess I never really thought about it until I saw they reported veggies went up .2 in December. It just kind ofclicked. I remember a couple saying "Even the green ones (peppers) have nearly doubled now". I will start to watch closer now.

Wholesale prices jump 1% in July, matching June increase

Inflation at the wholesale level jumped a higher-than-expected 1% in July, dimming hopes for a slowdown in price increases.

The July gain in the producer price index, which measures price pressures before they reach consumers, matched the June increase with both months advancing by the highest amount since a 1.2% rise in January, the Labor Department reported Thursday.

Wholesale prices rise 8.6% year over year in October, tied for highest ever

KEY POINTS

The Labor Department’s producer price index, which measures wholesale prices, rose 0.6% in October, translating into an 8.6% increase year over year.

Surging prices for gasoline and autos helped push the increase which was tilted far more to goods than services.

The reading is one of two important inflation measures coming this week, with the consumer price index on tap for Wednesday.

Wholesale prices rose 10.8% in May, near a record annual pace

The producer price index rose 0.8% for the month and 10.8% over the past year.

The monthly gain was in line with estimates and the annual gain was slightly off the record 11.5% hit earlier this year.

Unfortunately that has been happing for years. A normal bag of chips used to be 16oz. and over the years a normal bag of chips is now around 10 something. Of course now you can purchase different size bags; normal, family and party.

What stuck in my craw - when they shrank orange juice cartons from 64oz to 59. Guess that was a while ago. But on the plus side - they sure have found ways to cheaply super-size the sodas... Those go well with the party size bags of chips. From personal experience I speak...
