The cost of living in the U.S. rose in September for a second month, reflecting a jump in energy expenses that failed to trickle through to other goods and services…[meanwhile]…companies such as Abercrombie & Fitch Co. (ANF) and Safeway Inc. (SWY) are among those saying price increases are difficult to achieve as 12.1 million Americans remain unemployed and rising fuel bills eat into workers’ paychecks.

Here at The Price Hike, I mostly cover the cost of dining out. But every now and then, I’ll bring a little more context into explaining why (or whether) things cost more (or less) than they used to. This context might come, like it does today, from the good people at Bloomberg News, who employ me full time. Cheers. `Ryan
