Doesn't happen very often . . . but grocery prices in Missouri rose to more than the national average in the final quarter of 2011.
And the USDA says prices will continue to go up this year. The American Farm Bureau tracks grocery prices in its Market Basket Survey, a review of 16 agriculture products frequently purchased by U.S. households. Missouri generally trends under the national average. But in the fourth quarter of 2011, the price of those 16 items in Missouri rose by $2.69 to $52.01. The national average of those items declined $3.89 to $49.23.
