Food prices are probably not going down any time soon. One way to hedge against food inflation is to stock up when you see a deal. House of Raeford comes to Wilmington every few months with all natural bulk chicken deals. This makes for a great opportunity to fill your freezer or split bulk orders up with you neighbors.

From Vision to Reality: iFly's Long Road to Launching Wilmington's First Indoor Skydiving Facility
[Wilmington Biz] After six years of planning, iFly broke ground on Wilmington's Eastwood Road for an indoor skydiving facility, offering a unique experience for residents and visitors. The project, costing nearly $12 million, aims for an August opening, despite challenges like rising material costs. The facility, co-founded by Patrick Maguire and George Jamison, will feature a 270-degree simulator for public use, a first for Conflict Kinetics. The project reflects years of dedication and persistence from the team, with hopes for a successful launch.
