A price-hike double whammy

Rapid Response

They say the price of love can be high, but showing your love for your favorite team this weekend or that special someone this Valentine’s Day costs more than ever.

It’s a true price-hike double whammy.

Super Bowl: This Sunday, expect to pay the big bucks. According to a Wells Fargo analysis, the price of your Super Bowl party is up by as much as 14% from last year.

Prices increased for:

  • Frozen chicken wings by 26%
  • Prepared chicken wings by 14% to 26%
  • Steak by 23%
  • Shrimp by 22%
  • Hamburgers by 17%
  • Soft drink 2-liter bottles by 12%
  • Pork chops by 7%
  • Salsa by 6%
  • Beer and wine by 4% to 5%

Valentine’s Day: Expect no relief on Monday. Valentine’s Day prices are also through the roof.

Prices increased for:

  • Roses by 54%
  • Stationery, stationery supplies, and gift wrap by 8.4%
  • Jewelry by 6.5%
  • Going out to eat by 6.4%

And forget about driving – gas prices are near 8-year highs and keep going up.

Biden promised inflation was “transitory.” He told Americans to have “peace of mind.” But as American families already pay $276 more per month because of Bidenflation, this double whammy to the wallet sure does hurt.
