How much do those carrots cost? The
Indiana Farm Bureau just released the details of their semi-annual “market
basket” survey, and they found that grocery prices are down slightly from a
year ago!
The “market basket” survey includes
16 items, 8 of which have decreased in price since spring 2013. The biggest
decrease was in sirloin tip roast, which has gone down by 70 cents. The full
results are here!
