    Most Inflated Food Item? Tip Your Baker…

    The Bureau of Labor Statistic’s Consumer Price Index shows that the number one cost-inflated food item is a bakers best friend…flour!

    Flour is #1 at 37% price inflation. (Remember when a 5 lb bag of flour was around a buck? I do!)

    Other most inflated food items include the following…

    Most Inflated Foods Items, Consumer Price Index:

    * Flour, up 37%.

    * Eggs, up 34.8%.

    * Sweet peppers, up 29.2%.

    * Milk, up 23.1%.

    * Dried beans, up 21.6%.

    Tex-Mex Breakfast?
    That could make for a quite inflated price on a Mexican Style breakfast with beans, bell pepper diced in some eggs and spicy milk latte.

    What is a Sweet Pepper? I wasn’t quite sure what sweet pepper refereed to. I thought it was a jarred sweet roasted pepper, but I looked it up on Recipe Zaar and: “The best known sweet peppers are bell peppers”

    I often gawk shockingly when orange and yellow bell peppers at my NYC Whole Foods are $4.99 a pound. That’s pretty outrageous.
