It is unreal at the current food prices in grocery stores. While they are making billions of dollars selling food, Americans are having to cut back the amount of food they eat or go hungry. Something has to be done about how stores are charging a lot for food and making massive profits off of it. Food is a necessity and not a want. Basic items like housing, food and gas are items that are needed to live.
The thing is it's not just stores making more profits, it's the whole supply chain cost increasing. Inflation is a self sustaining viscous cycle. The farmer needs to make more because his cost of living and cost of feed and fertilizers have gone up. The drivers delivering the food also have increased cost of livings, and thus need higher salaries. The fuel to deliver it costs the delivery company's more. These costs get passed on to the store, which then has to pay employees more as they have higher costs of living, and then you the consumer pay for all of that. If your not a farmer, you then need to make more to make up for these high costs, sending the prices of your companies products up, and further fuels inflation. The only way out is basically make people accept less, and that will cool demand and bring prices down. That's why the feed keeps raising rates, it's to make everything so unaffordable, that the demand drops off, and thus supply increases and prices decrease. The sooner you understand this, the sooner you can make better financial decisions to prepare yourself for inflation.
@@heyaisdabombwell let me start with I have a store. We’re actually making less profits lol people don’t wanna buy meaning less sales and as the companies we buy the products from rise in prices we have to adjust our prices accordingly yet we try selling as fair as we can while making profit I understand ppl hav it hard now, but I can’t just keep my price the same being that I’d be losing money therefore I wouldn’t be able to buy products cuz then they’d just be losses. I speak for my store when I say this, don’t think we’re robbing u lol there’s a lot to this you don’t realize, business carry’s more responsibility than not having one
Aldi is my go-to. On a single moms budget, this store offers all I need for inexpensive and filling meals. It's one of the few places that helps me to stretch our budget.
go to school or learn a skill so you can earn more. step up your game. The world isn't going to take a step backwards because you can't provide for yourself
@Stranded NYer You are absolutely right, I have been to. People are clueless. They would rather starve or be overcharged then to take the wool from over their eyes and see what is really going on. Ms. B. Churchill
@Stranded NYer Everything you just listed is horrible for your health. Wait until the medical bills start pilling up and you'll see how that stuff is not saving you money in the long run.
We really need help to survive in this Economy. The fin-Market;s have underperformed the U.S. economy as fear of inflation hammers the prices of stock;s and bonds. My portfoliio of $250k is down to $192k any recommendation;s to scale up my return;s during this crash will be highly appreciated.
You have to get a financial-advisor/broker to aid you diversify your portfolios to include commodities, inflation-indexed bonds and stocks of companies with solid cash flows, as opposed to growth stocks where valuations were based on future potential earnings.
I'm not finding Costco or Walmart all that affordable. I shop the ads when they come out. I make a 7 day meal plan per the ads. Sale meats are always cheaper than Costco is. I pressure can bulk buys on meat at the grocery store to be shelf stable for years.
I live in the UK but i just love your RUclips channel. Your presenters are always happy unlike ours in the uk their like starch. Might just move to the great U.S of A
Usa isn't great anymore were a bananna republic now under Biden CRIME family.. you guys have free health care also which I am SOO JEALOUS OF!!. Here you can't even get your teeth repaired or even pulled usually unless you have good insurance..otherwise your left on your own to remove your teeth at home with pliers like I have to do!!.I have to pay outta pocket a few hundred dollars just to see a dentist to get an antibiotic for tooth infections.. they won't give one otherwise. They will just let you die or suffer. We haven't been a GOOD Country since the early 90s or the 80s. When I was growing up in the 80s and early 90s it was GREAT here but that's LONG GONE!!. I see it everyday how much we changed for the worse and feel it in my soul and it's so sad!!..
FOR US, PRICE DICTATES OUR SHOPPING GUIDE, HERE CANADA WE HAVE WEEKLY FLYERS WHICH LETS US KNOW WHICH FOODS ARE CHEAPER FOR THAT WEEK. HERE WHERE WE LIVE THERE ARE NO LESS THAN 20 GROCERY STORES WITHIN 15 MINUTES' DRIVE. THIS MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE WHEN STORE HOPPING TO GET THE BEST DEALS. LIKE 97 /LB CHICKEN LEGS WITH THIGHS. OR $2.33 /DZ EGGS.
People need to understand that eating cheap often requires sacrificing your health, and will cost you more in the long run. That women saying how she eats for $30 a week making a big pan of rice is a great example. White rice has absolutely no nutrition and is just empty carbs, which increase glucose levels which allows the body to store fat. In addition to obesity, spiking glucose levels can contribute to diabetes. Processed foods are also very bad for your health. A large portion of fruits and vegetables are important, as well as lean protein, all of which are very exsoensive. The American diet has way too many empty carbs and processed foods. You either pay at the grocery store now, or at the doctors office and pharmacy down the road. You are what you eat, literally. With out the correct nutrients, you will get sick more often, be at higher risk for many diseases, and your body won't have the nutrients it needs to take care of itself. People think they are healthy, until they start eating healthy and notice how much sharper their brain is, how much easier it is to build muscle, how much quicker they recover from illness, and how much less they become sick. Food alone can cure many diseases. An unhealthy body is not cheap as you age. It's hard to eat a healthy meal for less than $10 a meal at home. I spend $50 a week or more on fruit alone. Good meat not full of growth hormones is $10 to $20 a pound. Organic veggies can set you back nearly as much in a veggie/meat combo meal (assuming a veggie:meat ratio of 2:1).
What did all of these stores do with all the money that they made during the pandemic? They were all making record shattering sales and selling out. Our local store bragged about how much money they were making in the billions. Where I live, grocery prices are out of control. And where do they do buy one get one offers? We don't get those here.
A big fu to the price gouging by grocery stores. I only buy fresh food. Rather than lowering the prices so people can afford them, they will let it rot and throw it in the trash!!
Not really helping at Ralph’s. The sales this week I was like are you kidding me & it was generic. We try to shop at Aldi’s as much as possible but they are going up too.
I cannot believe that journalists would suggest ways for views to stop eating and make alternatives to food instead of investigating and going after the root of the problem. Your basically telling people to eat cat food until you get richer. f*k me.
What I am having to do -- to save money on my grocery supplies -- is to steal some stuff here and there. I get my kids to put stuff in their backpacks, and I also put it in my dress.
Go to your local church, charity, or food bank to get food. When you steal from stores, it affects everyone, both who can afford their groceries and others who can’t.
Well Actually I suspect 70 percent of urban go to Walmart, Sam's club, Aldi, Kroger. Only about 50 percent in rural areas go to any if these stores. If you have a budget you can keep on track even at a with a dime above those big box stores at regular price. And a 60 percent discount on clearance items. It's a matter of cents not dollars.
Very true. Yet there's not too many ethnic supermarkets in every state-a couple of stores maybe unless you live in a border state or state with a large volume of ethnic peoples.
@@tfoen7678 If it's cheap, there's usually a reason. Canned food is often in containers made of BPA liners that leech BPA into your food, in addition to lots of salt and preservatives. Processed food is really bad for your health. Fried food is bad for your health. Potatoes and rice are just empty carbs with no nutrition. Fruits, veggies, and lean meat are important, but also, what was sprayed on those veggies and fruits, and what was injected into that meat? Good quality food is expensive, because it's expensive to produce. You are what you eat, which is why over 69% of Americans are overweight and 36% of Americans are obese. It's all in the food you eat. Then you pay later in life at the doctors office and pharmacy and shorter life expectancy. Poor diets are responsible for more deaths than smoking. Once you take science classes, especially chemistry, you'll realize that's all it is, chemistry. Without the right nutrients, your body can't create the reactions in the body it needs to be healthy.
I switched from Meijer to Aldi. Meijer stopped sending me mailed coupons. I have found Kroger to be more expensive, and worst, DIRTY. I would pay more to shop at a clean store which my local Meijer & Target are at least. Kroger & Walmart are not. I also like Trader Joes and Costco. Of the ones available to me: Aldi > Costco > Trader Joes > Meijer > Target > Walmart > Kroger > Dollar stores
I prefer in-store shopping I'm always checking out the markdown meat (that's all I've bought for years). I try to buy as much clearance or markdown foods as possible. I feel shopping this way helps me save and I don't want somebody else picking out my food
Will much as with car manufacturers prices will be lowered or the stores that don't will simply be no longer allowed to be in business see car prices here's the thing this is a very similar thing people have stopped buying cars car cost have went down 75% new car sales are down 92% 92% loss of sales don't go to the store this week everyone you have a store you don't like because the two high don't shop there one week you go back to next week prices 70% lower than the week before it's been proven it's what I do and here's another thing if you were me you tell the store what you're going to pay no one tells me what I pay I pay what I want
I like the Kroger brand more than some of the other brands. There are only a few brands that I will stick with that are worth it. Other than that I love the Simple Truth and Kroger brands better.
See what you do is you tell them you pay a fair price they charge you more you simply go outside you call your bank you resend the full charge and you walk out with free food that's how it works you give them a chance to do the right thing if they don't you simply call your bank and you resend the charge to the grocery store and they get nothing and you get free food

That's good, but being a single mom doesn't make you special. You're a "mom", and you're receiving child support.
Aldi's no thank you
@@debbieframpton3857 unknow brands not so good
This is laughable! Stop the greed and just lower the prices! I hope all the big grocery stores lose millions!
Me too! What goes around...!
sadly they wont. It will get to a point where either Americans riot or the Government steps in to control the prices.
go to school or learn a skill so you can earn more. step up your game. The world isn't going to take a step backwards because you can't provide for yourself
I would not buy dollar tree food!
Canned goods and rice , check expiration and it should be fine

BOGO deals are not always a great price
doubled the price , then a discount , amazing greed

Why are you yelling?
Dude Target is super expensive. Who is buying food their has no awareness when it comes to money.
How bad is inflation? Lucy from the Peanuts upped her psychiatric session rates from 5 cents to $50.
But she did always get straight to the point.

Out here southern California WinCo or the Mexican market's are killing it they are cheap especially WinCo
I've shopped at my local Northgate for years. Seeing a lot of new faces lately.

Once you go to GROCERY OUTLET Store, you'll never go back to any other store.
That's good consumers need that
Not really helping at Ralph’s. The sales this week I was like are you kidding me & it was generic. We try to shop at Aldi’s as much as possible but they are going up too.
See less in SNAP benefits there will be more stores buying for shoppers.
I cannot believe that journalists would suggest ways for views to stop eating and make alternatives to food instead of investigating and going after the root of the problem. Your basically telling people to eat cat food until you get richer. f*k me.
beans and rice
Publix is too expensive.
What I am having to do -- to save money on my grocery supplies -- is to steal some stuff here and there. I get my kids to put stuff in their backpacks, and I also put it in my dress.
Thanks for helping the stores go out of business. It is really refreshing to see how many people are helping their community.
Ms. B. Churchill
Hope you like showing your children how to steal
Yep, when your store goes out of business it'll be people like you that made it happen. And that hurts poor people even more.
Go to your local church, charity, or food bank to get food. When you steal from stores, it affects everyone, both who can afford their groceries and others who can’t.
look i have a part time job and i spend $190.00 for food thats crazy right for a single person ...
