I think it's kinda weird how grocery stores are charging more for beef but less for oranges & avocados ? Like, what's up with that? It makes sense that prices would fluctuate depending on supply & demand, but it feels like some stuff is just being priced to the sky . And can we talk about how stores in low-income neighborhoods are often the ones paying more for groceries overall ? Like, why do they get hit harder with price hikes?
grocery stores are like landlords, charging whatever they want for basic necessities ... meanwhile, oranges have gone from $1 to $1.70 in NYC? that's wild beef is all about supply and demand, but what's up with the price swings on avocados? were we all just hyped for guac or something?
so i feel kinda bad for low-income neighborhoods having higher grocery prices overall, but like, it's not always the case . some stores actually charge less for certain items in those areas, which is nice. and it's crazy how beef prices rose 14% while oranges and avocados went up even more . i'm just gonna take the expert's advice to heart and start stocking up on staples when they're cheaper - like buying eggs when they drop in price . also, freezing produce is a game-changer, right?
I'm telling you, something fishy is going on with those grocery stores in NYC. It's like they're playing a game of ups and downs, keeping prices low for some stuff but charging an arm and a leg for beef. And don't even get me started on oranges - 70% increase? That's just crazy talk! What's really going on here is that these stores are taking advantage of their customers, especially in low-income neighborhoods where they know people need to pay more just to survive.
And have you noticed how some stores rarely open locations in areas with the highest demand for groceries? It's like they're playing a game of supply and demand, but instead of controlling prices, they're just controlling who gets access to affordable food. I'm not saying it's all bad, though - some experts are warning people to stock up when prices drop so they can save money later. But I think there's more to this story than meets the eye...
I don’t usually comment but I think it’s pretty wild how grocery stores are pricing out their customers on beef . Like, 14% increase over six months is a lot, especially when you see prices for other staples going up too, but not to the same extent. It's also crazy that low-income neighborhoods don't always have the same price disparities, sometimes they even charge less for certain items . I do think it's fair to say that prices fluctuate based on supply and demand, especially when there are droughts or transportation costs go up . And yeah, buying in bulk works if you can predict what's going to be cheap and when . Freezing stuff like eggs is a good idea too, separating the yolks from the whites is genius
