Hell our food costs have gone from about 125.00 a week to 200.00 a week (not including eating out) and if I recall food costs account for like 15% of household spending while gas is only like 5%. That of course is just food and not increased costs in nearly everything else too from natural gas to the damn cost of household paint. Only real benefit is electricity and that is just because our city produces it own via the damn.

You must do a lot more shopping than me or pay a lot closer attention. I have not noticed the cost of my food going up.
What time period are you talking about because milk (the only thing I pay attention to on your list) costs me the same today as it has for months.
