we are all suffering. .

1) grocery store margins are 2-3% so the majority of the cost is a supply chain issue. .
2) There is a shipping component to grocery store prices (fuel prices major component)
3) There is a labor component to grocery store prices (local labor market component)

April Retail sales up 0.4% over prior month
April CPI up 0.4% over prior month. .

Retail sales increase is all inflation, also known as STAGFLATION
however, too short of a time period for a trend. .

CPI has peaked and prices increases are slowing in GENERAL . . .

best answer is avoid junk food, and invest in junk food companies
a personal spread trade to profit at the expense of others.. .
