The Alabama Farmers Federation, which conducts a monthly price survey, says higher energy costs, increased global demand and dry weather in parts of the country continue to put pressure on grocery bills. The group said the average cost of 20 basic market items in Alabama was $49.95 during the first week of July, up 2 percent in a month.
State shoppers found double-digit increases in per-pound prices for pork chops, chuck roasts, chicken breasts, eggs and tomatoes, the Farmers Federation said. Slight savings were found on bacon, Boston butts, lettuce and some dairy products. Its all because of everything that is going on in our world. Global warming???
