These Are 11 Things That Could Be More Expensive in 2012

Although the U.S. economy has performed poorly over the last couple of years, Americans have lucked out with relatively low inflation (emphasis on the word “relatively”). However, there’s little reason to believe that the prices you pay today will stay where they are — meaning 2012 will most likely bring about increases to your everyday costs as well as some luxury items.

But which prices are going to fluctuate? you may ask. It would be nice to know so that I can prepare.

Well, never fear: dealnews has compiled a list of the price adjustments consumers can expect to see in 2012.

“This week, we read the economic tealeaves to see what will be more expensive in the year 2012,” writes Laura Heller. “Some increases seem almost customary, like ever-rising gas prices, while others, like a potential 25 percent hike on tap water, are more surprising.”

Here is of a list of the products that will probably see a price increase in 2012 (majority of block-quote information via dealnews):

1. Domestic and International Airfare

Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

Greater demand and fewer available airline seats will likely lead to higher ticket prices for flights next year. American Express predicts prices within North America will increase up to 5 percent for economy seating, depending on the length of the flight, and up to 7 percent in business class.

Things look more bleak for European travel. A new “green tax” implemented by the EU is aimed at reducing emissions, and it will levy a fee of roughly $15 per passenger, each way, for flights to and from the U.S. Fees on shorter flights within the EU will be taxed slightly less.

2. Groceries
Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

If your grocery bill seemed higher in 2011, you weren’t imagining things. Most retailers have reported that food prices are rising and those increases are being passed along to shoppers.

Food costs rose 6 percent last year and will likely go up at least 2 percent more in 2012. Increases are likely to affect food eaten at home, rather than restaurants where those costs are easier to absorb when combined with sales of liquor, says Harry Balzer, Chief Industry Analyst for the NPD Group.

3. City-Enforced Fees
Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

As municipalities look for ways to make up for budget shortfalls, fees for everything from dog licenses to vehicle registration and parking rates are going up, as is enforcement of fine-related infractions.

In Chicago for example, a non-registered dog can elicit a $500 fine, while parking fines in Portland are going up 18 percent as the city tries to make up a $16 billion transportation budget deficit.

4. Water
Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

Most communities in the United States will face water rate hikes this year, even places that are rich with the natural resource. Water rates in the greater Chicago area will increase by as much as 25 percent next year, while the parched high desert Denver market is set to rise an additional 5.5 percent. Like the above-mentioned fees, this increase is mostly a result of cities needing to increase revenue to balance their budgets.

However, there is another reason several cities have seen an increase in their water rates.

As reported earlier on The Blaze:

Sewage and water rates (on average) have increased faster than inflation because the federal government has demanded that cities replace their “worn-out” sewer facilities to meet federal clean-water standards.

Consequently, attempts to finance these new facilities has cost some cities millions of dollars.

5. Gas
Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

Fuel prices began inching up just before the holidays, and 2012 is looking to be another budget-breaking year at the pump, with prices once again topping $4 per gallon.

But why should we expect to see this increase?

Gregg Laskoski, a senior petroleum analyst for GasBuddy.com, explains why consumers should expect to “see trouble ahead”:

Because for the past seven years the average price movement from the  national average “floor” on December 31 to the “peak” price recorded in the next 12 months has averaged 93 cents per gallon.

In three of the last seven years, the spread between the “floor” price and the peak exceeded $1 per gallon and only once in the past seven years was the spread below 82 cents per gallon.  And, while we typically anticipate “peak” prices to occur in the midst of the summer driving season, you’ll see in the chart below that in two of the last three years the peak has occurred in October and December…

While past performance is no indication of future prices, if the national average and the price of gas in your state doesn’t move much closer toward $3 per gallon by the year’s end, next year when gas  prices “spring ahead” many of us may be paying $4 or more…possibly a lot more.

6. Gold
Dont be Surprised if These 11 Things are More Expensive in 2012

The precious metal is poised to achieve its 11th straight year of growth. Gold prices bounced around a lot in the second half of 2011, but analysts expect it to rise roughly 12 percent in 2012.

It’s a conservative estimate and a lot lower than the 17 percent annual growth rate of the past decade, but most believe gold will be more expensive. Take that to the bank.

See what five other items might increase in price next year.

      Dear Mr. TROLL: Capi-tall-ism is gone and you are one of 300+millions fools that still believe this diatribe. Here is why : http://cafr1.com/CALSTRS.html The Pie Chart shown is an interactive listing of the different categories of the investments held. What is shown is noted in “thousands” so add three zeros at the end of each number. http://CAFR1.com/CALSTRS.html

      What will amaze you is when you go down the listings of “domestic” and “global” investments listed both in equities; mortgages; bonds; and real-estate ventures.
      Keep in mind this is just “one” government fund (a large one) out of tens of thousands of local and federal investment funds large and small.
      With that in mind, then think of the collective ownership from all local and federal investment accounts. The private sectors ownership in comparison is insignificant at this point.
      Clint Richardson from Utah took the time in one of his recent videos entitled: The Great Pension Fund Hoax (very long), to systematical go through a grouping of one large fund after another just targeting two companies to determine the “collective” ownership by just the showing of those few large funds looked at. One of the two was Apple Inc. From the showing of just a few large government funds the 50% ownership mark was breached rather quickly.

      1. Solyndra – $550 Million loan by the government.
      2. Delay of the Canadian/American oil pipeline.
      3. 50,000 pages of new EPA regulations in 2011.
      4. The largest increase in national debt by dollars or % of GDP in a
      3 year span?
      5. The Home Loan Collapse due to Fannie and Freddie requirements
      to loan money to millions of poor credit risk Americans?
      6. Obama Care – and the destruction of the finest medical system in the world.
      Projections show it is accelerating medical costs and reducing supply already
      and it isn’t even 20% implemented yet.

      This is just a partial list – and I can assure you that these have had a greater
      impact on costs and speculation than “crapitalism”.

      I fear you have been drinking far too many cocktails! That was about the dumbest post I’ve ever read. You obviously have no background in the history of the United State of America! We thrived because we were FREE to do so! Private enterprise created a life style in this country that beat out every other country in the world. Then big government started to poke their nose into everyone’s business…they began to regulate…they began to impose restrictions and new taxes. Heck, they even bought a couple of American businesses!! And the rest is history…..we’re now in debt up to our ears and the unemployment rate is frightening. Thank you LIBERALS, for your contribution to the demise of what was once a great country!

      That scenario will never happen for a multitude of reasons. I give you Zimbabwe where the average family no mines the river banks 12 hours a day for a gram of gold to feed the family for a week. They have an open food market in Zimbabwe. Plenty to eat, but those with gold go to the front of the line. Go to youtube and search Zimbabwe Market or Zimbabwe Gold Market to see it operate in action and families digging for gold. Yes, you can eat gold if you trade it for food. It’s been happening since the time before Christ was born and will continue forever. That being said, get the other precious metal known as Silver. Lead is another precious metal. It helps you protect your gold and you can hunt your food for free with it.

      Nope. By Act of Congress the U.S. Mint must strike silver and gold legal tender and make them available to the general public. They are called Silver and Gold Eagles. They are legal tender. You can also invest in other forms of Gold and Silver legal tender from various countries. Canada has Maples, Austria has the Philharmonic, Mexico the Onsas and Pesos. I have them all.

      Certainly the .gov could confiscate. It was done by everyone’s favorite thief FDR, the same guy that gave us the “Raw Deal”. But even he couldn‘t confiscate coins in collections without just compensation and couldn’t afford to be tied up in legal limbo and ultimately lose. If the gov can confiscate your legal tender, then what stops them from taking the next step and plundering your savings account? Retirement fund? Checking account? That’s legal tender.

      Yup, an 11 year bubble, and it will continue to increase in price until the Fed stops printing money and devaluing the $USD.

      Inflation = Too many dollars chasing too many goods. Only Governments can cause inflation and they like it because it is a back door tax, the silent thief that transfers your wealth to the government.

      You sell gold when the government stops printing or goes back to a gold standard. Or shortly after we default and nobody accepts anything accept things of value, which will be gold, silver, precious stones, bullets, and all other forms of barter.

      Even if the government confiscates it, only those stupid enough to store it in a bank will have it confiscated as done under FDR. Many people ignored FDR and kept them or sold them on the black market.

      Too many people own it now including you. You’ve got gold jewelry? Congratulations! Welcome to the club.

      Even now the bubble you speak of is the price of Paper ETF’s not the real physical gold you hold in your hand. Ask the people who tried cashing in their gold ETF’s from the bankrupt MF Global run by DFL Champion and former NJ Governor Jon Corzine. They all got butt raped and now they have nothing.

      The paper ETF price reported on the COMEX is decoupling from the actual physical price even now. You don’t have to buy from Goldline. Buy it from other places much cheaper.

      You’re not negative unless you sell. When the collapse comes, and it will, everyone not owning PM’s will be negative. Good for you.

      And your not betting anything. The Fed is printing, gold must increase in value. The devaluation of $USD by your government has always ever had an inverse relationship with gold. The only reason gold is dropping now is because everybody is rushing to the $USD for safety, which strengthens the $USD. The only thing holding up the $USD is the $EUR (Euro). When the Euro collapses as it must, the $USD has nothing to trade against and it will collapse likewise.

      On that day, gold owners will be paying down debt with worthless paper dollars by selling a small portion of their PM stash which is inflation proof.

      Sheep are uninformed people who let other people do their thinking for them. If you are on a company retirement plan, you are sheep. If you have anything but a Roth IRA, you are sheep. Nobody is more interested in successfully investing your money than you. Never trust anyone to invest it for you. If you don’t know how, blame your public school education or get a refund from your college. Then hit the library and investing forums and learn.

      People who own Gold/Silver/Palladium/Platinum will keep buying until

      A) The Fed stops printing and devaluing the $USD purchasing power via inflation.
      B) The US moves back to a Gold Standard.
      C) Total Economic Collapse.
      D) I can buy the dow with 3 ozt of gold. (Currently 7.8 ozt)

      Any of the above three scenarios is when I sell gold. I sell silver when the gold/silver ratio reaches 40 or less, then I buy more gold with the proceeds. I start buying silver again when it is above 45 ratio (currently 58) otherwise I just buy gold.

      As long as the US government allows the Fed to print money and devalue the dollar, gold must increase.

      The price of gold is directly tied to the purchasing power of the $USD. Gold‘s value is the same now as it was in the 1800’s. It is the $$ and it’s purchasing power that has been devalued! And you wonder why you pay so much for gas and food at the grocery store. It’s called inflation and it

      Which is why China was the largest net buyer of Gold the past five years and opened their own precious metal exchange to compete with the corrupt COMEX which is soon to go into default.

      He with the most gold wins. Did I mention the BRIC’s want to move back to a gold standard and are trading in each others currency, cutting out the $USD trade?

      That oil contracts are traded in $USD but not settled in dollars at the end of the day? We are being squeezed out of the reserve currency business.

    It is possible that the increase in water prices is to pay for sewer and other infrastructure projects that have a weak connection to what is actually purchased. Leftist love to play hide the salami when it comes to financing something. The money to pay for the marginally popular program is often taken from a program that is popular. Your electrical bill cost more because it is carrying wind mills and solar cell projects. In at least one large city a wheel tax is paying for a convention center, not the people using the convention center. Rental cars are the favorite whipping boys of city governments. They are expected to also throw in additional fees to get programs going that are not popular locally. Motel taxes are used for everything but the added cost of imported populations of tourist and their demands for safety, security and transportation costs. It sounds like all transportation related to holidays or vacations may be up.

      Right you are, but you can take steps to cut that electric bill. I bought a smoker so I can both grill and smoke. I don’t use the oven much. Why use and oven when you can grill?

      Forget the incandescent or CFC light bulbs. Go with LED. They are expensive but have 10 times the life and they dramatically cut your electric bill at only 8.5 watts each. Get the daylight (5000 degree Kelvin) which is equal to daylight, aka visible light spectrum., not the soft white which are okay for over the dining room table and that’s about it.

      For water, drill a sandpoint, then run it through a filter. Use it to water your lawn and garden. Buy or build an affordable solar panal array to cut your electricity bill. Take the bus to work instead of driving. will save you about a $1.50 per gallon in driving.

      Use the money you saved back into your budget and buy more gold/silver, buy shorts on the stock market anything the government invests in, including TBTF Banks and GM. Sorry, solar companies already went under. Short anything and everything the government “invests in”. It will ultimately fail. They always fail. Too bad their isn’t a stock to short Social Security and Government Pensions.

    I am surprised that education did not get on the list. The costs usually go up even in the good times.
    The driver for municipal cost increases is probably unfunded pension contributions. Some cities have bought insurance against higher variable rate interest hikes but some of the banks that specialize in this risk have no way to pay off all policy holders in the event of a massive upward movement of interest rates.

      These seem like no brainers to me. I agree that “education” should be on the list.

      Indoctrination, as it SHOULD be called, has gone up at more than twice the rate of inflation for decades. Yet, Universities are the wealthiest institutions in America out side of banks.

    Well, you can Vote Ron Paul in 2012, and have a much better 2013. Or you can stick with your usual America, a double quarter-pounder of the same old crap. I don’t care who you insert here Obama, Romney, Newt, whoever. It will only get worse, unless we get serious about our problems as a nation.

      You are right. I am sure Ron would cut the balls off the Federal Resever, get us back on the gold standard eventually, stop the supid unconstitutional spending and stop the Fed from printing more money.

      Respectfully, I think you are missing the point. Obama, Romney, Newt and the rest will serve as puppets for the financial rulers of the world. None of them have the fortitude to stand up and do whats right. What do I mean by that? I mean to one who will say “My fellow Americans, we have to make some hard choices. We can either continue on this path to certain destruction, and chain our future generations to lives of servitude, or we can stop this now.” Now is the time to act, to allow any president, or congress, or senate to kick the can any farther down the road, Or to continue the slide slowly will only serve to seal our fate.

      The destruction of the dollar opens the door to global governance. The collapse of the dollar will ignite a world wide financial collapse. That the only way T.P.T.B can survive is to create a new uniform one world currency. Then a complete restructuring of western & world debt. When that happens, and we don’t have a leader who will stand up to it. We will be delivered into the waiting hands of the one world system.

      Once our currency is out of our hands, so is our nation. A return to sound money now is the only answer. Therefore I will only vote for Ron Paul, even if I have to write him in. I have to vote my conscience, the innocent future generations of Americans deserve no less.

      For Liberty,
      Ron Paul

    Every day, the U.S. government takes in $6 billion and spends $10 billion. This means that every day the federal government spends $4 billion more dollars than it has.
    2.The real unemployment rate is a jaw-dropping 11 percent.
    3.Every fifth man you pass on your way to work is now out of work.
    4.College graduates are now 34% less likely to find a job under Obama than they were under President George W. Bush.
    5.Every seventh person you pass on the sidewalk now relies on food stamps.
    6.The ravages of the Obama economy now mean that more Americans live under the federal poverty line than at any time in U.S. history since records have been kept.
    7.Under President Barack Obama, every fifth child in America now lives in poverty.

      In my county, the unemployment is over 14% and has been for two years! Part of the problem is we depend on tourist traffic and when the economy is a bad as it has been, people aren‘t traveling and certainly don’t want to spend money for hotels or motels. They seem to stay in their own area. People are laid off or fired every day in my area! Not a good situation for people in my area as taxes will no doubt be rising again next year while our real estate taxes will be raised again next year!

      I won’t be told who to vote for in 2012. I am sick of the SOS that we have been getting – and I believe we could not do WORSE than Obama. So I would vote for Charles Manson over Obama and his Crony Cabinet. Personally – I looked into Ron Paul and I keep going away…. but…. the more I look… the more I keep coming back. I am sick of the liars – crooks and flip floppers that have been presented so far. I like Santorum actually and will vote for him if he’s the winner – but if it gets down to Romney, Gingrich or Paul — I will vote for Paul. Regardless of whether someone else thinks I am “Throwing my vote away”.

      You won’t be throwing your vote away on Paul if he is the GOP nominee.

      You won’t throw it away if he runs third party.

      You would throw it away if you vote for another Obama=McCain clone like Newt or Mitt. All want to destroy the country, one on the tomorrow plan and the rest on the 4 year plan.

      I’m with Eric on that point.
