Retail food prices in Wisconsin rose 5% over the first three months of 2011, according to an informal survey by the Wisconsin Farm Bureau.

The Wisconsin Farm Bureau's Marketbasket survey shows the total cost of 16 food items that can be used to prepare one or more meals was $48. That's an increase of $2.39, or 5.2%, from December's $45.61 price for the same 16 items.

Fortunately families making over $250,000 annually didn't have their taxes raised, so they'll still be able to afford that hamburger helper.
