Food Prices Rise American families had a more challenging time putting food on the kitchen table in February as everyday food prices continue to surge, with no end in sight.
The overall food prices rose 7.9 percent compared with a year ago, data from the Department of Labor showed on Thursday. In fact, the data also showed that inflation climbed to another four-decade high in February, as the consumer price index rose 7.9 percent compared with a year ago.
Inflation is on the rise and with no end in sight as the Biden administration continues to spend and the Democrat-led Congress is looking to push another spending bill worth over a trillion dollars.
Home furniture prices are up 10.3 percent compared with the last year and have risen one percent since last month. Prices for the category of “living room, kitchen, and dining room” furniture are up an eye-popping 19.3 percent compared with a year ago. They actually surprisingly dropped 0.2 percent compared with January.
Here are some of the most striking moves in food prices. Ground beef: up 13.6 percent.
Steaks: up 16.9 percent.
Bacon: up 17.1 percent.
Pork Chops: up 13.4 percent. Chicken: up 13.2 percent. Fresh Fish: up 10.4 percent Fresh Whole Milk: up 12.4 percent. Coffee: up 10.5 percent. Fresh Fruit: up 10.6 percent. Lettuce: up 7.9 percent. Salad Dressing: up 9.4 percent. Soups: up 10 percent. Baby Food: up 8.4 percent. Breakfast Cereal: up 7.5 percent. Bread: 7.5 percent. Biscuits and Muffins: up 7.1 percent. Lunch Meats: up 11 percent. Eating out is not really a better option. Fast food prices are up 6.8 percent, and full-service restaurant prices are up 7.5 percent. Even vending machine prices are up 5.9 percent. Jacob Bliss is a reporter for Breitbart News. You can follow him on Twitter .
Yes, We Need Your Help
I hate being “that guy” who asks people to donate because I think our conservative news network is so crucial, but here I am…
When I left my cushy corporate job in 2017, I did so knowing that my family would have to make sacrifices. But I couldn’t continue to watch the nation slip into oblivion and was inspired by President Trump’s willingness to fight the good fight even at his own personal expense. What I didn’t realize then is that conservative media would be so heavily attacked, canceled, and defunded that the sacrifices would be extreme.
Many in this nation are struggling right now even though we weren’t struggling just a few years ago. I’m not alone. But I wake up every morning and operate the sites we’ve been able to build because there’s really no other choice. I refuse to be beholden to Big Tech like so many other conservative news outlets, which is why you won’t see Google ads here. With that said, it’s often challenging to pay the bills and it’s even harder to expand so we can get the America First message out to a wider audience.
The economic downturn has forced me to make a plea for help. Between cancel culture, lockdowns, and diminishing ad revenue, we need financial assistance in order to continue to spread the truth. We ask all who have the means, please donate through our Giving Fuel. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to expand our reach so the truth can get to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
We currently operate:
- NOQ Report
- Conservative Playlist
- Uncanceled News
- Based Underground
- Five other conservative news sites
I would even be willing to entertain investments and partnerships at this stage. I’ve turned them down in the past because editorial purity is extremely important. I’ll turn them down again if anyone wants us to start supporting RINOs or avoid “taboo” topics like voter fraud, vaccines, or transgender supremacy. But I’d talk to fellow America First patriots who want to help any (or all) of our 10 news sites. Hit me up at jdrucker (at) substack (dot) com if you’re interested.
For those who have the means and just want to help keep the mission of spreading a conservative, Christian message to the nation, please consider a generous donation.
