N&O food writer Andrea Weigl has an important story in today's Food section about the impending rise in grocery store prices because of this summer's drought in the Midwest.
Experts are predicting at least a 5 percent increase in prices on everything from breads and cereals to beef and poultry.
The price increases are likely to show up next year as the shortages move through the supply chain so you have plenty of time to tweek your grocery spending habits to stay within your budget.
