The Consumer Pricing Bureau has issued the following statement:

"As a result of surging fuel costs leading to escalating transportation costs coupled by a worldwide shortage of wheat and corn grains and a drastic reduction in livestock we are projecting an increase in overall grocery prices in the range of 48% - 53% within the next 90 days."

This is the same company that projected a 40% increase 3 months ago and the actual increase was 41%. I took out my calculator and converted these figures into real costs. A current gallon of milk selling for $ 4.78 will cost $ 7.28, a loaf of bread currently costing $3.00 will cost $ 4.50. This is a tragic turn of events. I can't stress enough how much the program at http://groceriesclub.com has helped. You owe it to yourself and your family to look into it.
