These items include:
1. Airfare
Airlines are committed to reducing the number of flights to popular destinations. They are concentrating on lean mean operating budgets. By limiting supply the prices are sure to rise.
2. mailDue to financial troubles the US Post Office will raise prices on January 22nd for the 1st class postage stamp and also reduce delivery times and days. Forever stamps are a plus though since they are good forever and stamp prices normally rise only once a year.
3. meat
Increased demand on top of rising fuel costs will most likely result in higher costs for quality meat products.
Ditto.
5. coffee
Coffee prices have risen steadily in 2011. Starbucks is in the process of raising prices on their coffee products.
6. Gas
Due to strained relations in the Middle East and the possible closure of a Delaware refinery, fuel costs are certain to rise. High unemployment and economic woes will keep demand from rising significantly.
The good news is the economy appears to be plugging along and consumers are spending once again. Including buying homes!
