By Julie Tomascik More bang for your buck. That’s exactly what we saw in first quarter grocery prices. Because food prices are falling. Even for proteins. Why? Well, the cow herd is growing. More cattle on ranches means more beef at the meat counter. And less expensive feed and cheaper fuel are helping drive down [...]
By Julie Tomascik The inevitable trip to the grocery store. It’s usually weekly for most. Sometimes more often. And it comes at a cost. One that’s been on the rise lately for Texas shoppers. And second quarter grocery prices in the Lone Star State once again showed an increase—97 cents for a basket of 16 [...]
By Julie Tomascik Up, up and up. We’ve seen food prices rise over the last couple of years. But not for the beginning of 2015.

By Amanda Hill For months now, we at Texas Farm Bureau have been anticipating a rise in food prices as the epic drought of 2011—which lasted, in some areas, through 2012 and into 2013—caused crops to wither and cattle herds to shrink. Texans’ food costs actually declined for a few quarters, but it seems the [...]

By Amanda Hill This July 4th we have much to celebrate in Texas—our freedom, our families and, though not as important as the first two, lower grocery prices. Each quarter, Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) surveys food prices on 16 common items in its Grocery Price Watch survey. For the second quarter of 2012, food prices fell [...]
By Amanda Hill Good news, Texans. The latest Grocery Price Watch survey by Texas Farm Bureau reports that we paid less for groceries in the first quarter of 2012. The price of a basket of 16 food staples (including fresh produce, milk, bread, meat and more) dropped by 64 cents—from $45.62 in November 2011 to [...]
