Inflation Hits Travel and Food Hard | Salt Lake City News

Travelers feel it worst: airfare spiked 25.5% from last July, and food prices are soaring too — beef up nearly 10%, tomatoes, coffee, and apples all climbing double digits. Energy bills also rose over 4%, with gas hitting $4 a gallon for the first time. Monthly numbers may look tame, but these real-world hikes are hitting wallets hard.
