Groceries

Bob does our grocery shopping. He said bread is shockingly expensive. The cheapest he found was $2.50 a loaf at the Jewel.

I'm old enough to remember my mom making special trips to a bakery outlet near the airport. She'd get 5 or 6 loaves per $1 and stock up the freezer.

I have heard the cost of wheat is the biggest reason for the increase in this staple. More farmers are growing corn for ethanol production. While the government subsidizes corn, supply and demand has run up the price of wheat.

Does this sound like inflation to you?
