Have you noticed grocery prices completely bottomed out?!

I own several grocery stores here in ohio, pa, and wv and prices are not going down. The only thing that went down was eggs because last year we had the bird flu epidemic and prices went way up. Here is something interesting that some states might not know. In pa the state sets the price of milk. So even if I wanted to run a sale on milk I can't. The price of milk in ohio and wv is 2 dollars cheaper than that in pa. Prices have remained steady this year except for meat. It continues to rise very fast. I think regulations have a lot to do with that. It seems like the government is trying to get the price of meat up so people are less apt to buy it. I don't know the reason for this but meat has gone up in price every year I owned the stores and recently they have has a sharp incline. I believe animal rights is trying to force the regulations on meat to drive the price up and have less cows used. Expect 40 dollar a pound t-bone soon and 15-20 dollar a pound beef.

I'm going to buy some CALM shares in 3-6 months after they report a couple of dismal earnings reports due to egg prices being at 10 year lows and then ride the stock back up when prices recover.

Egg prices wholesale are something like 60 cents a dozen.. they'll probably report a loss this coming quarter.

Nope

They keep going up

Don't worry. OPEC cutting oil production. That will raise the prices so you don't botch anymore.

You will be crying again gas and food is too high

Still $8/half gal for organic milk and $4/half gal for cheapest mainland brand

go to wholefoods that will give revise your thinking.

If you look at the current cattle sales, the prices are going down for the producers.
So, who is the middle man making all of the money?
Usually when the price of feed goes down, the price of cattle goes up.

Corn, wheat and barley are very low.
Hay is worth more than wheat.

I went into a Walmart in B.C, Canada and could not believe that food prices were down. I wonder if people finally just stopped buying things and they had to lower their prices. Which I've been waiting for to happen for years. I was actually in abit of shock wandering around looking at all the cheaper prices. Maybe I switched timelines... Maybe it's just Walmart?

Maybe, people are being more resourceful. idk???

Consumers saving big as grocery prices hit record lows
You WILL pay later


If you’re one of those people who like to have their cake and eat it too, and pick up another one for later, then this is your year.

If you prefer to buy your food, and don't eat out often, you’re paying 1.9 percent less to fill your stomach than you did a year ago, according to the U.S. Consumer Price Index. You’re saving even more if you’re avoiding fruits and veggies, which are the only vittles that have gone up in price. This doesn't mean you should be avoiding colorful produce.

And here’s the best part: you’re saving a lot more if you’re comparison shopping at big discount stores like Wal-Mart and Aldi.

The cost of meat, poultry, fish and eggs went down a whopping 6.5 percent in the last 12 months, according to the U.S. Consumer Price Index. And the cost of a dozen eggs, which was about $2.94 last year, is now going for less than half that: $1.46.

But those savings are peanuts, according to a report in Bloomberg Markets, because food retailers are engaging in what can only be called a food fight.

In North Bergen, N.J., that $1.46 carton of eggs is selling for $1.14 at Wal-Mart. And if you go the extra mile, the same carton costs just 99 cents at the nearby Aldi.

It's not just egg and poultry prices dropping. The price of a pound of ground beef has dropped 50 cents in the last year, down from $4.16 to $3.66.

But why fiddle with hamburger when you can get boneless beef ribs for $3.99 a pound (40 percent less than last year) at the Randalls in Austin, Texas? And why buy at Randalls when the H-E-B store down the block is selling those same boneless ribs for a buck less than that? And did you hear about that deal at Albertsons? But a USDA choice petite sirloin steak and you get a second one free.

Food prices have fallen for nine straight months, according to Bloomberg Markets. It’s the longest streak since 1960 — except for 2009, when the financial crisis was winding down.

Perhaps you are purchasing chicken, beef and pork sent to china for “processing” then returned to the United States for sale while comparable items raised and processed in the USA under controlled conditions are more expensive where quality and safety is assured.

You might also consider the genetically modified Frankenfish such as salmon genetically engineered to mature faster thus sell cheaper. Alternatively, milk that is laden with hormones and antibiotics sure they are cheap but what is the real cost to your health.

Prices are not cheaper for these items instead quality and safety are compromised and definitely an issue, all these issues are thanks to obama economics and the poor as always lose.

There MAY be a lessing of the upwards push lately.

But I'm sure it is due to people losing their appetites every time hillery coughs up a gurge on TV.

Maybe walmart was trying to unload before the big blackout.

fuck milk

why do all you americans talk about how much milk cost

Consolidate ..like with Oil
