When will California food prices fall? The answer is tricky (Sacramento Bee) 

October 20, 2022


Sacramento Bee published an article stating that grocery store prices, according to the federal Bureau of Labor Statistics, have soared 13 percent over the past year. The economic consensus is food prices will likely ease next year, but there’s little agreement on precisely when that will be obvious to consumers.
