Food inflation should slow this year, but some categories still see price pressures

Many consumers are feeling the pain from higher prices With the advent online grocery shopping, like with Amazon's (AMZN) recently announced grocery delivery service, the way in which consumers buy groceries is shifting.
USDA Regional Food Business Center's Dawn Thilmany joins Wealth! to break down the best ways for consumers to save money on groceries in an evolving consumer landscape.
Thimnay offers this insight into which category will grow in expense:" I think you're going to start and continue to see it in the processed foods. So sometimes people are eating out away from home at restaurants. Those are the prices seeing the most pressure right now and that's because of labor costs. We've made a commitment across the country in many states to start bringing up the labor and wages and if not because of policies, because of the workforce pressure that there's just not enough workers. Labor is really driving this. So if you think about where labor is most intense in the food systems, it's those prepared meals."

I rarely buy processed food. I never eat out. Last time I ate out was for my son’s 18th birthday. Still, the costs for fresh fruits and vegetables are outrageous.

Get a Sam’s club membership and buy in bulk… if a store forces you to use self check out don’t steal, but don’t scan what your time is worth since your not an I-99 employee 🤷🏽‍♂️

Don't know where you shop groceries but Walmart up 200% across the board on EVERYTHING.
In fact don't bother going with just $ 20. bucks, won't get you chicken tenders.
These corporations are passing onto consumers their inflation price, their corporate income tax, loses due to theft and any weather related hikes.
