mum and no can 798 antiin lation program aiid our shopping The statistics on how the inflation rate is dropping are important theyre good Sign oi or program thats really working But the numbers that probably mean even more to you are the ones you see at the supermarket cosh register at the hardware store or after There ore price increases Sometimes rising costs make them necessary And there are some decreases But it you keep track youll see that on the whole the increases are lower than they were last year The big jumps that seemed to take place every week rarely happen now Food prices have increased very Government of Canada little in the lost 12 months The anti inflation program cant take credit for 111 of this because the Guidelines dont cover the cost of food at the form gate or the price of imported foods But the Anti lntlcrtion Board does control about 270 of Gouvernement du Canada basket the biggest food processors wholesalers and chain stores 1t has succeeded in holding down the costs added to food as it is processed and distributed to your local store And these costs make up substantial port of what you pay for food The slowdown of price increases for nonfood items has not been as dramatic as for food However progress is being made By August the current annual rate of increase for the latest three month period for nontood items was 67 compared to 1111cist October The antiinflation program has helped to guarantee that cost savings are passed along to you on the products your family needs week by week 11 cr price goes up chances are theres reason like the bad coffee crops in Brazil But it the reason for CI higher price disappears you can expect the price you pay to go back down too
