The cost of some basic groceries is expected to rise as flooding wipes out crops in NSW and Victoria.

“We’re talking things like wheat, so your bread will go up, your milk will go up – some of the cows have been affected, of course,” Today reporter Mia Glover told Laurel, Gary & Mark.

“Get ready for the next couple of weeks because things are going to really spike at the supermarkets.”
