The best snacks for the big game
While overall food price inflation is up about 12% over last year, prices on some popular snack items are down just in time for the big game, according to a Wells Fargo report. Wing fans will like this: A pound of chicken wings is down 22% from January 2022 because of more supply. Last year at this time, they were $3.38 per pound for the week of Super Bowl 56…now they’re $2.65 per pound. Go crazy with guacamole, too, because avocados are at a bargain. The average retail price for an avocado is down 20% since last year. But the bad news: beer is up 11%. Maybe you should extend Dry January thru February 12th?
