Chicken Feed: More Anecdotal Evidence for Inflation

In the course of reviewing our expenses for 2007, I happened to notice the cost of chicken feed.  It fluctuates seasonally, because corn is scarcer in the late winter and spring.  But I was quite surprised to discover two receipts exactly a year apart, same store, same product, with a significant price difference:

  • On 2/6/07, 50 pounds of Lay Mash cost $9.89
  • On 2/6/08, 50 pounds of Lay mash cost $14.69
That's an increase of 49% in one year!
