Coffee and food prices

[jamesslcx]

Hi everybody, I had to go to the store today, my wife usually goes but it was my lucky day. I was completely shocked at the high price of food and the most shocking was coffee! Wow I think I'm gonna have to cut back, I didnt realize it had gone up that much. I wonder what the reason is for the high prices?

High demand, climate creating poor bean harvests, which is a weather related cause, governmental instability in the countries that grow coffee, or plain old greed--take your pick.

I don't drink coffee and most of the food that I buy hasn't gone up much lately but what has gone up like crazy in the last year or so is dog food. And I have a big, hungry dog. :licking:

I heard on CNN the other day that coffee prices were expected to drop as supplies exceeded demand. Aparently the weather has been favourable for the coffee crop in central and south america.
Membership warehouses are about the best bet for lowering what you spend. That and growing your own is the way to save.
