The major TV (CBS, Bloomberg, Maria Bartiromo, ABC, etc.) networks wanted to hear about food costs. The real driver is meat. Herd sizes are at historic lows and demand for beef is high (protein craze.) Take our cheeseburger. Cost of the bun and cheese are the same as last year but, the burger went from $2.50 last year to $2.75 this year. How can you save? Three things. Put more chicken on the grill (approx. $5/lb), try our private label (usually 20% less than national brands) and stick to your shopping list! Stay away from our in-store demos! It’s easy to taste a new product and then throw it in your cart! I’m a victim of this too when I shop! - Stew Read more of my notes "Around The Store": mailchi.pulse.ly/ycbi3k6hr8 #foodshopping #groceryshopping #foodprices #retail #saving
