Global economic conditions continue to wreak havoc on the inflation rates of our daily bread, and transportation, and costs of living.
In the past 12 months at the top of the list, gas up 28%, lettuce up 27%, bacon up 16%, energy up 16%, followed by beef, potatoes, tomatoes, coffee, pork, and all fresh vegetables, each over 10%. For most people, incomes did not rise proportionately, unless you run companies.
It gives reason to think about what it means to live more off the ever-expensive grid. More people are taking action on their fuel bills, starting better energy practices, growing more of their own food, and reducing meat products as the centerpiece of their health. Even if a third of us made a 10% shift off grid in any way, it would have an enormous impact.
What would be on your 10% list?
