Gains in Wholesale Food Costs Ease During June
Each month the government reports on a broad range of wholesale prices. The report is released around the middle of the month reflecting the numbers of the previous month. During June 2010, the government’s report indicates that the index of wholesale food costs rose by 2.4% from a year ago. This increase suggests a moderating from the gains of 5.0-6.8% during the previous three months. The increasingly volatile nature of wholesale prices is reflected in the PPI-Food Detail table below.

SpenDifference has been a true and powerful partner of Dream Dinners. They brought forth a solution that we had not had available to us previously. In the void of scale that most mid-size companies face in food procurement, SpenDifference crafted a solution with us that has led to leverage and substantial food cost reductions traditionally not available to a company our size. They are not an extension of our business, they are integral in our operations and part of the Dream Dinners family.
