WREG, Memphis
Prices could soon triple at the grocery store for things you absolutely need in your refrigerator.
We`ve heard a lot about this fiscal cliff, but if congress doesn`t come to an agreement on the farm bill, which is a separate issue, grocery prices will skyrocket.
Everyone needs milk, and if congress doesn`t act fast on a farm bill it will mean you have to dig even deeper into your wallet next time you head here to the dairy aisle.
The average cost of a gallon of milk is $3.54. But New Year`s Day the price could shoot up to over $7 a gallon.
And don`t forget that would drive up the cost of butter, cheese, ice cream and yogurt too.
