To further shield your grocery cart from inflation, it pays to look at how food prices for different product types have changed in recent years

Tell this calculator roughly what you buy at the grocery store and it will tell you how much more you’re spending thanks to inflation.

Apparently I’m spending 29% more than I did in January 2017.

We still not factoring in pure profit vs actual overhead on big chain price increases?

Not even talking about it?

Ok.

I think, and I’ve noticed this a lot with local radio. Big media companies shy away from pointing fingers and criticizing ANY potential advertisers. I guess they don’t want to bite the hand that feeds them.

This is quite problematic.

There’s lots of discussion of grocery chain profiteering and what should be done about it in other posts and other articles. There’s no question profits are part of the problem, and attacking those profits might be part of a solution.

must be my luck. i keep seeing articles that mention inflation, but haven’t had the luck to see people addressing the profit, outside of katie porter from the states. can’t get over the absurd hoarding of new wealth by the rich, and seeing the costs for basic needs go up constantly is a bit distressing within that context.
