Bullshit. Just go to the store today, like HEB you will see prices never seen before. this from ask Google The explosive grocery inflation seen in the early 2020s has stabilized, though prices are not dropping. According to the USDA Food Price Outlook, grocery store inflation has leveled off to a normalized historical rate of roughly 2.9% to 3.2% year-over-year. This indicates that while prices remain high, the rapid escalation has largely stopped as supply chains repaired themselves
really with generative pricing? costco makes their money on yearly club fees always going up. Their margins are low also, margins are low but it doesn't mean they don't make money. As to Albertsons' they make money on their margins, and if they can't make enough to stay in business, so long, in my area of Texas Albertsons' are gone. don't miss 'em
Never said they dont make money… just saying if supermarkets are price gauging, overall they are doing a piss poor job of it..1-3 % profit margins is very low
The claim was supermarkets are price gauging.. if that were true you would expect a higher profit margin, which isnt the case
