    I am glad to see pet food mentioned (although briefly) there- even if you feed a high quality, grain free food, the cost of that will rise too- the cost of the meat in your pet's diet will increase. I think just bout ALL cat/dog foods, from the generic grocery store junk to the top of the line super expensive brands will rise visibly. Time to consider putting away a few extar bags of food for your furry friends, so if things get really tight for a spell after these price increases kick in you're all set.

    I think I will consider stick piling a little heavier than usual beans, rice and canned veggies. Don't use canned too much, but will do in a pinch, and sounds like prices are going no where but up next year!
