  1. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorBloomberg reports that producer prices, which is what businesses pay before things reach you, rose the most since twenty twenty-two, and energy is the main pain.

  2. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorBut that's the wholesale side, Hank. Your actual receipt is far away from all that, like a cousin in another state.

  3. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThe cousin has your address and a truck that runs on diesel.

  4. Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorOh.

  5. Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorHigher costs for the farm, the factory and the delivery van usually end up in your grocery cart, your gas tank and that eleven-dollar burrito.
