16 Florida Freeze Forces Tropicana to Raise Orange Juice Prices
Florida's inclement weather this Winter is no pulp fiction. Due to a deep freeze in January that impacted tomatoes and citrus, Tropicana is saying it has no choice but to raise prices on its orange juice. In May, Tropicana plans to keep the price steady on its Pure Premium orange juice half-gallon cartons, but reduce their size from 64 to 59 ounces. Its gallon-sized jugs will stay the same in Read more
Several nights ago, I stopped by an organic restaurant to pick up some takeout for my guy. Although I didn't catch the price, I ordered the fish tacos — but when time came to sign the credit card bill, I recoiled at the amount — $20! I was slightly embarrassed, and hated to trouble the waitstaff who had to run into the kitchen to cancel the order, but the amount was far more than I was Read more
With more consumers turning to less expensive cuts of meat, like ground beef, the price of premium cuts has dropped to a very low level. This is good news for restaurants who can sell the top notch beef at a lower cost. To compensate for the reduced demands of meat, the industry is producing less and letting the cattle pasture longer.

Boston Market is the latest restaurant chain to succumb to sluggish spending. The Golden, CO-based corporation announced yesterday that it will offer a larger discounted menu of 11 meals for $5. Boston Market joins a list of food chains — such as Subway, Quizno's, and Domino's — that have been promoting meals for $5. The company's chief brand officer, Judy Cantrell, said: The $5 price point Read more
These days, it seems as though food prices are creeping higher on everything from corn to sushi. Since I'm no stranger to a budget, I've increased the amount of time I spend shopping by heading to different stores for certain items. For instance, I frequent Chinatown and farmers markets for produce, a large-scale grocery store for packaged foods, and a gourmet shop for seafood and specialty Read more
Has the slowing economy and potential food crisis changed how often you eat out? Does it have to be a special occasion, or do you go whenever you feel like it? Source Given Current Events, How Often Do You Eat Out? I eat out just about every night, it's easier than cooking. I eat out occasionally, but am definitely paying attention to the costs. I only go out on special Read more
It seems like there's a new story about the rising cost of food each and every morning. That combined with the current economy, makes me wonder what you're spending your money on at the grocery store. Have you changed your shopping habits at all? Or have you not been paying attention? Source Has the Rising Cost of Food Changed Your Shopping Habits? Yes, I've been paying attention to Read more
As someone who loves to bake, I was pretty bummed to hear that the price of flour is going up. We've been hearing about how grocery prices are going up due to increased prices of dairy and wheat, but this is the first time I've seen solid numbers. According to CNN Money, the price of a 50-pound bag of flour went from $16 to $37, a 131 percent increase. And if that's not crazy enough, sources say Read more
Beer lovers beware, your favorite microbrews may be at risk. Last year, beer prices were on the rise due to the cost of barley, and this year a worldwide shortage of hops is making things even worse. Due to a bout of bad weather in Europe — along with decreased production in the US — the price of hops has risen 20 percent for most varieties, and up to 80 percent for specialty hops. This Read more
Last week, Hershey's succumbed to the rising prices of dairy and wheat products by hiking up its chocolate prices. This week Kraft Foods and Kellogg will be doing the same. This means you should be seeing an increase in your Rice Krispies, Eggos, Kraft Singles, Mac 'n' Cheese, DiGiorno pizzas, and many other products from these companies. This is bad news for our slowing economy, and is actually Read more
