YOU MAY HAVE HEARD IN THE NEWS THAT THE INFLATION RATE HAS LITERALLY COME TO A STOP. BUT, IF THAT’S SO, WHY ARE FOOD PRICES STILL INCREASING? ACCORDING TO USD ECONOMIST MATT MACLACHLAN SAYS FOOD AT HOME INCREASED BY NEARLY ONE PERCENT AND THAT IS UP 13.5% FROM A YEAR AGO. USDA’S GARY CRAWFORD SAYS OVERALL PRICES ON EVERYTHING ARE 8% HIGHER
WITH A NATIONAL RAIL STRIKE PENDING, IT’S CERTAIN THAT THE PRICE OF ALL GOODS AND SERVICES WILL RISE, SOME EXPERTS SAY AN ADDITIONAL INCREASE OF 20 TO 25 PERCENT IS A POSSIBILITY.
