Prices Stable on the Food Table
'Stable' is the best way to describe food prices according to the Wisconsin Farm Bureau's 'Market Basket' survey of 20 basic food items. Half way through 2010, overall food prices in Wisconsin are stable compared to both the first quarter of 2010 and the same time last year. The Farm Bureau's informal survey shows the average price for those 20 items that can be used to prepare a meal was $53.46, up 38 cents or less than one percent from the first quarter of 2010. A year ago those same groceries averaged $53.38, just 8 cents less than this year.
