Yeah, I paid $2.50 for bread yesterday, and $3.50 for a gallon of milk (which lasts a day or two in our house, tops). Christ, a jar of Mayo was $6.00. I'm hoping this is just a fluke, and prices of some of the food will lighten up over the summer, but I'm not holding my breath.
I don't mean to complain, as I know things are tough in many places, that's not the purpose of my posting this. I was wondering how things have been in other areas of the world.
It's just shocking is all, having the price of necessaties skyrocket, yet peoples wages, at least in my area, have either shrunk (benefits-wise) or stayed level.
