Inflation is everywhere, and it’s going to raise its ugly head on Super Bowl Sunday.  For anyone shopping for a big Super Bowl party, be prepared for some sticker shock at the grocery store because prices will be up about 14% from a year ago. 

Wells Fargo did the math, breaking down the areas that will see the most significant increases. 

Let’s start with beef – up 13%.  The steak will cost you 21% more than last year. 

If you want to save money, go with hot dogs and potato chips because they only rose 1%. 

You’d think the cost of beer might drive you to drink, but beer and wine prices were only about 4% in 2021. 

Soda is a different story, up 12%. 

So there you go, food costs are up this year, thanks to inflation.  If I can offer one bit of good news, watching the game is free. If you were in LA looking for a ticket, they start at about $7,000 and you don’t get to see all the good Super Bowl commercials on NBC if you are inside SoFi Stadium.
