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.

We Often Feel Like David Taking on Giants
Today’s Goliath is the Mainstream Media Industrial Complex that brainwashes the masses.
Our mission is very straightforward: To counter the false narratives and nefarious agendas destroying America today. It isn’t easy for obvious reasons; despite incredible growth over the last year we are still a very tiny fish in a huge media pond. But we’re fighting and we will continue to do so, Lord willing, for as long as we possibly can. The battle for America’s present and future is too important for us to back down to the giants that stand in our way.
We need help. I don’t want to say “desperately,” but the need is definitely great. If you have the means, please donate through our GivingFuel page, PayPal, or our Substack page. Your generosity is what keeps these sites running and allows us to get the truth to the masses. We’ve had great success in growing but we know we can do more with your assistance.
Thank you, and God Bless!
