[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yes, you can shop at Walmart instead but I think the broader message is that many people who rarely closely did comparison pricing are now having to change their behavior. I never thought of Giant as high-end grocery shopping but prices there are now literally insane, particularly for snack prices. We also have teenagers in the house and things like chips, snack foods, drinks are really crazy with high prices and less volume in each container. We are lucky to be able to absorb the prices but I have many family members who have had to radically change their grocery shopping behavior.[/quote]

According to the Consumer Reports, "And across the board, food prices rose [b]25.5 percent between December 2020 and December 2024[/b]" which means most of the inflation happened under the prior administration.

Anyway, it's an intriguing but flawed report. I shop at both Whole Foods and Wegmans and for the same basket, same brand, they are the same price, so not sure how one can be significantly higher than the other. Also agree with the pushback from Whole Foods that this survey isn't looking at quality. [/quote]

Our coffee went from $10 to $21 and my tea bags are up $2 for 12 bags since the tariffs hit. It is recent price hikes not from 2020. This is worst than the 1970s.[/quote]

Dude (or ma'am) I pay $10.99 a pound for coffee at MOMs. Has it gone up? Yeah, but it's nowhere near $21. It went up from $8.99. And coffee prices are always subject to harvesting conditons.[/quote] I just paid 	Simply Nature Fair Trade Organic Peruvian Whole Bean Coffee (12 oz)
1 x $7.99[/quote]
