Food is WAY more expensive than it was last year. I believe that this would have a bit to do with fuel expenses being so high as well. No, You are absolutely right.

That dastardly scorpion venom! :) @Sue - I actually have a friend that lived in Barrow for a while and mentioned the same things. @Neil - Wow, I dream of the day I used to spend on $30 big ones... but with 4 in the fam plus dog and cat, it gets a bit pricey indeed - congrats on the frugality! @FFB – no kidding I saw a funny post here:

I have still found good deals though. The grocery store had a gallon of milk for $2.49 today. I didn't need any or else I would have bought one. Me and my girlfriend normally get by fine at about $20-25 a week. I rarely spend over $30 on a single trip to the grocery store. Thats normally when I find deals on meat and stock up for the month. I could get by even cheaper if I had more storage room. I think food expenses all depend on where you live though. Prices are up. I have still found good deals though.

I live in a rural part of Alaska and food has always been expensive. In the bigger cities you can get milke for $3.50 a gallon, but in smaller towns like here it's about $4.70 a gallon. Anything that spoils and/or is heavy costs quite a lot. I think food price increases are almost good in a way. Food prices reflect gasoline prices. In order to cut down on cost we all need to drive less and eat more local products. Eh, it’s hard for me to notice really. I live in a rural part of Alaska and food has always been expensive.

How come milk, which is renewable, is more expensive than gas per gallon? Orange juice has taken a jump up as well. I would guess you nailed it tying grocery prices to oil prices. How much of it is legit though I couldn't say. It's more important than ever to watch what you buy and keep an eye out for sales. Groceries have definitely gone up.
