Food prices do fluctuate with the harvest, but when was the last time you saw a box of cereral go down in price? How about a frozen pizza? And what about fast food, like fast food chains? I see deals like .50 burgers every now and again, but if it is a sale, and the price still says $2.50 for a burger, the promise is the price will go back to that eventually. </p><p><br /></p><p>I'm not concerned on deflation on a 2-3 month scale, when most everything else is pointing to inflation.
