Hosts who provide their guests with chips and dip, which respondents to a <a href="https://www.bhg.com/news/popular-superbowl-food/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">survey</a> from Better Homes and Gardens identified as their most popular game day snack, will face prices for field-grown tomatoes that have risen 16.9% over the past year.

<p>The Super Bowl is not the first holiday in recent years to be severely impacted by inflation. The cost of a Thanksgiving dinner rose 20% between 2021 and 2022, according to an <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/amber-waves-of-pain-thanksgiving-dinners-will-be-20-more-expensive-this-year" target="_blank" rel="noopener">analysis</a> from the American Farm Bureau Association, while the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/last-year-biden-bragged-about-16-cents-in-fourth-of-july-cookout-savings-this-year-prices-rose-by-double-digits" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cost</a> of a Fourth of July cookout rose 17%.</p>
<p>President Joe Biden <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/biden-paints-rosy-posture-on-the-economy-before-state-of-the-union-heres-the-real-story" target="_blank" rel="noopener">claimed</a> ahead of his second State of the Union address that the United States has witnessed annualized headline inflation which has declined for “six months” due to his economic policies. Despite the recent slowdown in price level increases driven by lower energy costs, year-over-year inflation was charted at 6.5% in December 2022, according to <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-tide-has-turned-inflation-sees-largest-drop-since-2020-lockdowns" target="_blank" rel="noopener">data</a> from the Bureau of Labor Statistics, nearly quintupling the 1.4% rate seen in December 2020.</p>

Price levels, however, have grown at a consistently faster rate than nominal wages over the past two years, reflecting an erosion of buying power.</p>
<p>“Inflation has been a global problem because of the pandemic that disrupted supply chains and Putin’s war that disrupted energy and food supplies. But we’re better positioned than any country on Earth,” Biden told lawmakers and senior government officials in the speech. “We have more to do, but here at home, inflation is coming down.”</p>
