[QUOTE=La lamy;2218644]What ****es me off is the immense profits grocery stores make from all this "inflation". Here's what google said about Publix profits in 2022:
"Publix had operating earnings of $1.3 billion in the period, up 35% year over year while full-year 2022 profits totaled $4 billion, up 13% from 2021."[/Publix’s sales for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2022, a 53-week year, were $54.5 billion, a 13.6% increase from $48 billion in 2021, a 52-week year. The additional week in 2022 increased sales by 2.1%. Comparable store sales for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2022 increased 9.9%.
The following is from Publix financial report. Don’t know where Google got their info:
Net earnings for the fiscal year ended Dec. 31, 2022 were $2.9 billion, compared to $4.4 billion in 2021, a decrease of 33.9%.
