Pain in the pocketbook

It’s Been 30 Years Since Food Ate Up This Much of Your Income​

Ongoing high costs lead food manufacturers and restaurants to keep prices elevated​

Eating continues to cost more, even as overall inflation has eased from the blistering pace consumers endured throughout much of 2022 and 2023. Prices at restaurants and other eateries were up 5.1% last month compared with January 2023, while grocery costs increased 1.2% during the same period, Labor Department data show.

Relief isn’t likely to arrive soon. Restaurant and food company executives said they are still grappling with rising labor costs and some ingredients, such as cocoa, that are only getting more expensive. Consumers, they said, will find ways to cope.

Thanks, Biden and the liberals.

Pro tip: "Hot" Chili Lime Shrimp Ramen, add green onion, cilantro, and chili crisp. Or you can drain most of the water and add peanut butter and chili crisp. Throw an egg in if you want.

Also, JIF is the king of PB. If you think otherwise, you're wrong. The end.
