"As many senior citizens will tell you, prices have increased quite a lot
over the past century. Of the items listed, potatoes were the least
expensive item in 1913, at less than 2 cents per pound. By 2013, flour
had replaced potatoes as the cheapest item per pound among the items
tracked. And while potatoes remain among the cheapest food items today,
potato prices have increased over 39-fold since 1913, the sharpest rate
of increase seen of the items tracked over the past century..."
