More propaganda by the leftists that price gouging is a thing. It's good that the free market of ideas is still available to counter leftist propaganda.

Supply and demand plus external factors. It's pretty simple when one gets off their soapbox. I'll shop at Lidl, Publix, Food Depot and Costco and buy certain items from each. "Food shoppers are savvy. The Food Industry Association found that 63 percent of Americans now shop at a mix of grocery stores to keep their bills down, and there are more low-cost grocery options popping up throughout the country to accommodate this. German discount grocery chain Aldi, which already operates over 2,300 locations in the U.S., plans to add 800 more stores by 2028." “In 2024 and 2025, food prices are becoming more affordable, [but] not because shelf prices are going down,” Ricky Volpe, the agribusiness economist, said. It’s because American consumers and businesses are adapting to the economic hand they’ve been dealt. Just like motorists will sometimes search for the gas station with the lowest gas prices, so do consumers sometimes seek out these lower-priced alternatives to help keep their food bill in check" www.thefp.com/p/why-are-grocery-bills-so-high |

Shopped Publix today and notice quite a few items heavily discounted from last week's price level. Maybe they're starting to get the message that people are shopping elsewhere? Like Walmart, Target, WD, Aldis, or even the neighborhood butcher?

And keep in mind that your money is worth 20% less than it was 4 years ago.

I seriously doubt you are either. I don't go there every day nor do I spend all day in any of them. I pass by most anyway except for Costco. Costco for bulk items, Lidl for produce, milk and bread, Food Depot for meat and Publix for brands I can't get at Lidl. Getting my steps in.  |

I seriously doubt you are either. I go to different stores to buy different items based on price. I do not need to financially. I do it out of principle. Most everything at Publix is more expensive than the competition, even when it is BOGO. |

Your shop around savings is consumed in gas and time. Granted if you're retired, time is less of a commodity.
