"...H Mart’s ascent reflects more than just a better or more affordable version of what most Americans already shop for. The company’s expansion across the US has coincided with decades of demographic shifts in which Asian Americans have become the fastest-growing group, and South Korean culture in particular has given rise to juggernauts in pop music and beauty...roughly 30% of the specialty grocer’s shoppers are now non-Asian."

US households spend 8% of their income on #groceries; those with the lowest incomes spend even 1/3. Replacing #meat options with #plant-based alternatives & #seafood with popular alternative recipes can cut costs by 14%: https://www.couponbirds.com/research/grocery-costs-by-diet-type #vegan >> Even before #eggs prices exploded

The reason red/yellow bell peppers cost more than green bell peppers is the bright ones are ripe.
After the plant produces them, its done. No more, or very few peppers. The green ones don't trigger that. You get more of the green unripe ones because the plant keeps churning them out.
"A perfect storm of:
• ICE raids and threats causing farmworker shortages
• Egg prices skyrocketing from bird flu, with no end in sight
• 25% tariffs on Mexico, which supplied 63% of our vegetable imports and 47% of our fruit & nut imports in 2023
RIP grocery budgets"

"On Tuesday, Arabica coffee prices hit an eye-watering new high on the Intercontinental Exchange at $3.48 a pound, according to the Wall Street Journal. This means the price is up more than 40% over the last three months and 79% year-over-year — and it's set to trickle down to the consumer level soon."

I’ve been repping Costco before it was cool—Executive Member since 2019! The 2% back not only covers my membership but gets me extra groceries every year. Talked about it on stream a lot: Costco > Sam’s Club, no contest.

I used to buy this package of 60 eggs for $14.99 - $15.99 not too long ago.
I took this photo this morning at the store. Highest I've EVER seen: $31.99!
It's almost like the guy who took over the Oval Office is absolutely clueless.

#Americans are discovering that ...
in HATED #China
#Groceries almost cost 2 tenth of what they cost in #America
and that their 'Great Leader' (#Trump)
even though during the election campaign he promised to reduce costs of food 'from day one'
now
Trump tells them that... Groceries will cost more... because lowering prices is 'difficult'. 🤣

#Americans talk about '#HeathCare' '#SocialSecurity' '#groceries'...
understandable, these are important things
(especially when are taken away)
but instead
they should worry >starting from right now<
HOW they will be able to free themselves from Trump's 'criminal association'
(that they voted in the Government)
because
Americans won't get rid of Trump and accomplice with the -Vote-
so...
how get rid of them ?
That's the REAL problem.
I missed this great news earlier this week. Monopolies are bad and now groceries won’t be further consolidated.
Sigh of relief.

"As Trump finally admitted this week, after lying for a year on the campaign trail, there isn’t really much he can do to bring down prices, either. So now we’ll have $5 eggs and a corrupt oligarchy and political opponents under arrest and new outbreaks of once-defeated diseases. But remember, Trump was the working-class candidate."

My rabid #socialism leads me to want to support stores that have flesh-and-blood checkout people by default rather than self-checkout stations, however my much more rabid social #anxiety leads me to exclusively use self-checkout when presented as an option.
I think my solution is that I need to just start forcing myself to only go to Food Lion or Aldi instead of Kroger so that I simply don't have the option.
Let's talk tomatoes! 🍅🥫🤠
#KamalaHarris’s campaign announced her support for more than a dozen #economic policies aimed at “lowering costs for American families.”
The most striking proposals were for the elimination of #MedicalDebt for millions of Americans; a ban on #PriceGouging for #groceries & #food; a cap on #prescription #drug costs; a $25k subsidy for 1st-time #home buyers; & a #child #TaxCredit that would provide $6k per child to families for the 1st year of a baby’s life.
