At some point we gonna have to address these grocery prices

[The Devil's Advocate]

Who the fukk is eating out every night, I don’t no anybody eating fast food several times a week, everybody is fukking cooking, just like they parents and they parents parents so I need to see real stats on who is eating out cause yal keep using that as some smoking gun to shame people

But fukk that, I don’t give a fukk if a mf want to eat fast food everyday, fast food should be affordable for that to be possible, yall making this a negative about consumers when this is really a negative on the corporations, nobody in this country should be worried about affording food regardless of what they want to buy, companies raising prices not because of no economic reasoning, they only do it because they allowed to fukk over the consumer as much as possible, at this very moment it’s fukking child labor and cheap illegal immigrants working at these food plants making pennies on the dollar, but yet they keep raising prices, ain’t no fukking demand going up for these bullshyt ass food products, we all out here eating the same fukking Walmart food brands so I don’t know what the fukk you talking about, anytime shyt like this come up it’s always the consumer fault this why shyt don’t change cause yall make every excuse in the world for these companies to do whatever the fukk they want to

There's literally people in this thread posting memes talking about "it's cheaper to go out" There's entire threads with that title. You ask what they cooking and they say "I went shopping and picked up a salad" instead of "I made a salad"

You can tell


Why should fast food be affordable? Who told you that? This is America. If the food at the grocery is more expensive, HOW is the fast food supposed to stay cheap? What fantasy world y'all living in? Do cars still costs the same? Gas? Wages? So how was the food gonna stay cheap when you need workers to get it, workers to transport it, workers to cook it and workers to serve it? No they not all eating Walmart brand. Cause right in this thread, dudes talking bout Whole Foods and shyt, and when I show them the Walmart brand is three times cheaper, it's "I dont eat that, I don't go there"

Ok well then shut the fukk up.. What planet is this where people complain about the problem AND the solution? You gonna starve? No? Then figure it out

Large Grocers Took Advantage of Pandemic Supply Chain Disruptions, F.T.C. Finds

A report found that large firms pressured suppliers to favor them over competitors. It also concluded that some retailers “seem to have used rising costs as an opportunity to further hike prices.”

Large grocery retailers took advantage of supply chain disruptions to beat out smaller rivals and protect their profits during the pandemic, according to a report released by the Federal Trade Commission on Thursday.

The report found that some large firms “accelerated and distorted” the effects of supply chain snarls, including by pressuring suppliers to favor them over competitors. Food and beverage retailers also posted strong profits during the height of the pandemic and continue to do so today, casting doubt on assertions that higher grocery prices are simply moving in lock step with retailers’ own rising costs, the authors argued.

“Some firms seem to have used rising costs as an opportunity to further hike prices to increase their profits, and profits remain elevated even as supply chain pressures have eased,” the report read...

I'm still laughing at nikkas coming in here a month ago saying you can buy 5 lbs of chicken, 2 or 3 lbs of rice, and a carton of eggs for $8 or less.... Some of us actually live in big cities and you can't even find them prices with Walmart mystery meat
