Holly Baker, Utah State University Extension Home Economist for Uintah County, said the March food price survey conducted by KSL radio and Utah State University Extension show an overall price of almost two percent. The big culprits for the rise were bacon, up 19 cents a pound, and lean ground beef, with a 17 cent per pound price jump. A gallon of milk rose by five cents, ten pounds of sugar was up four cents, a quart of salad dressing was up by two cents and a pound of margarine had a penny price rise. On the other hand, 12 cents were knocked off the price of a dozen eggs, round steak and chicken both fell by two cents per pound and a loaf of bread cost one cent less in March. The total price on the ten survey items now comes to $16.52, which is about where it was in October, 1982. The most expensive Utah cities for buying food were Cedar City, number one, followed by Vernal, St. George, Provo, Ogden, Brigham City, Price, Logan, Fillmore and then Salt Lake City, Ci-ty, which was, for the first time, the least expensive city in Utah for food.
