Five Things That Will Cost More This Year

By Cornelius Nunev


Most customers will be paying more for taxes in 2013 than they did in 2012. However, that is not the only chunk your pocketbook will endure in the current year. Here is a review of just some of the things that will cost more in this young year.

Food getting more expensive

In 2013, food expenses will increase by around four percent, according United States Department of Agriculture. The draught this year brought on enormous increases in food expenses, which means $40 a month additional for families.

Breakfast cereals and baked goods will go up by as much as 3.5 percent, according to the USDA.

The cost of grains and products related to it (such as milk, meat and eggs) will also be increasing.

Things that will cost more: new vehicles

The new car industry in 2013 is going to get a bit more costly because of federally mandated fuel efficiency standards. These standards require that car manufacturers invest in new technologies to create cleaner vehicles. Everybody will have to be paying more into automobiles to cover the research. The increased end Lexus CT 200h is going to cost $3,000 more this year than it would last year, but the Toyota Camry will still only cost about $175 more this year, according to U.S. News and World Report. It definitely depends on the industry.

Things that will cost more: health insurance

With Obamacare in place, businesses are being required to pay more for insurance for American consumers. The cash will obviously be passed on to customers who will pay a typical of $267 additional a year in insurance, according to HR firm Aon Hewitt.

Pay more for your smart phone

People used to be able to get a free cell phone when they signed a two year contract with a company. At the very least, they would get a pretty good discount. This year, however, it is expected that most cell providers will stop offering discounts. According to DealNews, T-Mobile is going to start making consumers pay full-price for phones this year, which could mean all other companies follow.

Going to a baseball game

The New York Mets new "dynamic pricing" strategy raises the cost of the affordable seats. For opening day those seats will cost $63, which is more than double the cost from 2012. In the meantime, other teams, such as the KS City Royals and the Seattle Mariners, are also raising ticket costs.

The Boston Red Sox, Chicago Cubs and other fan-friendly teams are keeping their lower prices, so you may still get an inexpensive seat at a game.
