I was in the grocery store the other day and had a huge wake-up call. The prices of groceries have sky rocketed. I was amazed that a bag of sugar is now up to three dollars. Flour surprisingly has not increased it was still only a couple of bucks. Fruit and vegetables have also gone up in price. The cost to eat healthy is soon going to be impossible. The government wants Americans to reevaluate our diets and start to eat healthier but with the cost of food rising Americans will not be able to. The end result will be the continuation of obesity in America.
Unfortunately, it is not only food that is increasing. The cost of cotton is also rising. Therefore the cost of clothing will start to go up and even the cheapest brands will no longer be inexpensive. I wonder what the end result of this will be? Will there be an increase of thrift shops? Will thrift shops be forced to increase their prices on clothing?
