I don’t know how they think we’re all going to survive with these prices.

    somehow these poor struggling grocers can still buy one another for twenty five billion dollars.

        overall sales are up, prices are waaay tf up.

        gross margins are down slightly, but they’re taking that 27.7% (vs 28.1%) from a larger pie.

        profits are up.

        The point being is the cash grab is further up the line

        It’s certainly not the farmers getting paid more.

        If anything, the agrifood business that they sell to are pushing the farm gate price down, while at the same time input costs continue to rise.
