The Rising Cost of Groceries_ What You Need to Know

About this episode

This episode discusses the rising costs of groceries and the factors contributing to these increases.

Let’s dive right into the reality facing grocery shoppers today. Over the past few months, it’s hard to ignore the whisper of rising grocery prices – about three to six percent, to be exact. But what’s causing this hike?First up, feed costs. It turns out, when feed prices spike, it isn’t just the farmers who feel the pinch; consumers feel it too. For instance, the U.S. cattle herd has dropped to its lowest in nearly 75 years thanks to prolonged droughts. This decline in livestock leads to higher beef prices, which many families notice when they hit the meat aisle. Similarly, the dairy and egg markets have felt their fair share of trouble. An outbreak of avian flu has resulted in over 43 million egg-laying chickens being culled, which is a significant blow to the egg supply. With fewer eggs come higher prices, making breakfast a bit more expensive than before.
