groceries put bite on consumers

first, our apologies for that headline. the staff was probably drunk at the time (they usually are), and those responsible have been sacked.

now the bad news: as if gas prices weren't eating enough of your wallet, and the fact that you've been paying the same amount for less food in the container, food prices are about to take their biggest jump in nearly 20 years. thank exxon and the other oil companies plus china for a sizable chunk of that.

(you were planning to lose some weight anyway, right?)
