Wondering if USA food shoppers are going to spark a industry shift in the grocer market. Wholesale prices on milk and eggs are way down now without a corresponding retail price drop. Foodshoppers have reacted and changed buying habits to survive. British grocers have awoken from their profitcoma and have started price drops. Over here, snoring retailers will awake to the large swath of the midwest just starting an unusual crop-damaging drought. So could retail outlets get pounded in early fall between the anvil of changed consumer habits and the hammer of a real wholesale price increase due to drought? Might be time to top off your 5gal pantry of legumes and beans and check youtube on diy tofu. Never too late to get some nightshade container plants going. Are you seed saving? Are you seed swapping?
Some operations didn't hear about Avian flu destruction. 35cents an egg is lowest price in local groceries, except my Latinx grocer, where it's 11cents an egg. How are these chain stores still charging 3x plus? Wholesale prices expected to be 8cents. There's no limit on a chain store markup. What are you paying?
Doublecheck your retail charges.Three different retail stores overcharging me because of wrong prices in register. Price tags missing on inventory even after flagging it to mgt. Hnaught: Retail stores use modern inventory control which updates retail price catalog as inflated prices collapse and inventory bloats.
USA #SupplyChain appears healthier lately, but it's not showing up in prices or efficiency. Stores got more eggs to stack in the bin. Retailers show more inventory. Packages move through DHL, UPS and merge with USPS in a straighter line, but unexplained delays still suck the life out plan fruition. Not helping me is the corporate takeover of Pet Vet clinics/hospitals. Not lowering my costs is #CorporateTakeover of the #NortheastHousingMarket. Robbing me of repair parts is the chain-making of individual mom&pop automobile salvage yards. Local value is trapped, up-sold to me or carted away to be sold in a pricier market. How are you doing out there?
BBCNews, NYTimes, DWNews. AlJazeera might want to get on the Fediverse. It's astonishing that they haven't even started a breaking news - headline on the refinery, military complex attacks. Birdsite is lame now. Very excited for new Mastodon DevOps. When are the major news platforms going to realize the changeover?
Not sure what to make of Deja Vu except maybe get a new battery for your $13 blood oxygen sensor. Big box inventory has adopted the less is more Melania riff, pre-Xma$. What you thought was the downtown air bnb all booked up is your cash-strapped ICU. And, Cousin? Bivalent Boost is not a new sport drink. I can't do this E ticket ride again my friends. We got to step it up again, or we going back.
