THE STICKER SHOCK IS COMING... to a GROCERY STORE NEAR YOU!!
Grocery store prices are increasing whether you are buying online or going to the store.
According to the latest government data, consumers are paying 3.5 percent more. Consumer Reports said meat, seafood, and fresh produce prices are up 8 percent compared to this time last year. Paper towels and toilet paper are still up more than 5 percent as more people are at home and demand is up, but the supply is down.
General Mills, the maker of Cheerios, announced it needs to offset higher freight manufacturing and commodity prices. Hormel is raising prices on products like Jennie-O ground turkey in light of higher grain costs.
