Do you feel like you’re paying more for groceries? According to an analysis by Bloomberg we are especially for the foods that keep us healthy.

Researchers found, “The cost of food jumped 2.4% in March, the most since January 1984, and energy costs increased 0.7%.”

The LA Times reports, “Vegetable prices rose by the most since December 1994, and the cost of fish posted the biggest gain since April 2006.”

The latest Consumer Price Index shows fruits and vegetables rose the most 3.4 percent between February and March.

Do you have a favorite place to grocery shop to save money? Or tricks you use to save?

I’m working on an upcoming story and am looking for a family committed to saving money on groceries. If you’re interested send me an e-mail.
