Forbes Living and the Climbing Cost of Breakfast image Why is breakfast food like eggs, bacon, coffee and butter getting so expensive? It seems like the most important meal of the day is becoming the priciest meal of the day. Forbes Living looks at the climbing cost of breakfast. Some parts of the U.S. are going through the worst drought conditions experienced in decades. This results in higher prices for produce and livestock as farmers and cattle owners spend more to keep plants, trees and animals hydrated. Drought conditions produce a reduced amount of product from coffee beans to bacon. And consumers are choosing to eat more protein-rich foods like yogurt for breakfast versus cereals, which contain grains. All of these factors raise the price of traditional breakfast foods. To keep grocery bills from climbing, use coupons, discount codes and price checking apps. Many stores have bar code reading apps which give the shopper a way to find a lower price for a product. Forbes Living TV also suggests making breakfast at home and taking it on the commute if needed. Make a breakfast sandwich in the microwave and use a thermal mug for hot beverages. Buy a small soft lunch cooler to take yogurt and fruit to work and have it while sorting through email. Let us know if there is a more cost-efficient way you do breakfast every day.
