## Resource

Your grocery bill is about to get a serious workout—food inflation is projected to hit nearly 4% by Christmas, with prices still climbing through next year. A $100 grocery haul from early 2020 now costs nearly $39 more, and could reach $148 by July 2025. Global chaos—from war, extreme weather, and new packaging rules—is driving up costs, while energy spikes and soaring commodity prices (wheat up 45%, cocoa doubled) are squeezing manufacturers. They’re begging for government relief on energy and regulation, warning these higher prices will stick for years. The government says they’re working on supply chain fixes—but shoppers? You’ll feel the pinch for a while. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
