Why your beef, bananas and coffee beans have gotten so expensive

@FD1000, more fake news; right?

As I do not drive, I couldn't care less about the price of gas. However, I do have to eat.

For evidence that the cost of food in the U.S. remains hard to stomach for many households, look no further than the price of bananas, beef and coffee.

Banana prices were up 6.9% in September from a year ago, ground beef has risen 12.9% and roasted coffee has jumped an eye-watering 18.9%, according to the most recent Consumer Price Index data for September.

Gas, I have plenty of that! Prices here $3.00 to $2.50 depending where & when you buy.
Coffee we switched to a cheaper brand.
Beef, we're eating more Pork.
Bananas, still eating 3 / week. Paying the extra $.10/ #

One has to adapted in this environment of money grabbing companies & inflation.
Also we quit buying name brand chips & found a cheaper chip of the same quality.
