Food prices steadily climb nearly 1 year into pandemic

A customer wearing gloves shops at a Stew Leonard's supermarket in Paramus, N.J., May 12, 2020.are expected to increase even more, according to experts., the Economic Research Service for the U.S. Department of Agriculture predicted the cost of food from grocery stores will rise 1 to 2% this year.

Patrick Penfield, Professor of Practice - Supply Chain Management at the Whitman School of Management for Syracuse University told"Good Morning America" that means prices"will continue to rise over the next several months, probably right at that 2 to 3% range, until May." "Demand still continues to rise because many people are still eating at home, bad weather -- winter storms -- is also causing people to eat in," he added."Finally food producers and supermarkets are still not offering the coupons and promotions that we have seen in the past."

Brenna Ellison, an associate professor at the Department of Agricultural and Consumer Economics, University of Illinois Urbana‐Champaign,"The decrease in FAFH [food-away-from-home] spending was driven by significant decreases in spending on eating out in restaurants. We observed increases in spending for carry-out within FAFH, but not enough to offset the decreases in eating out," Ellison said in a release about the findings.

Sad

Republicans will say “Biden’s controlling the price of food” 😂

Under Biden everything is going up . More illegals crossing and higher gas prices

At least minimum wage is goi... shit, never mind.

National Guard soldiers defending the US Capitol have gotten ill after being fed meat that is almost completely raw — with shaved metal also found in the disgusting meals, according to whistleblowers... the force has repeatedly complained after more than a dozen troops sick...

Thanks biden

And yet we didn’t raise the minimum wage to $15 amazing how that works.

Great. So no $15 minimum wage and fewer people get the next stimulus because GQP are still acting like obstructionist s despite their losses in 2020, and meanwhile those of us still employed will be paying more for food and FUEL. This can't be good for the overall economy.

As consumers we know.

Joe Biden's America

Between the pandemic and regular climate disasters food scarcity and cost are going to continue to increase. The US is going to need to find a way to localize its food supply and quickly. GrowFoodNotLawns

Why ? Thats bull crap

Biden’s America.

Yet $15 an hour doesn’t make sense

Because they want people to go broke and homeless 😂rich rules the world🌎💸💸💸

Indeed. And my Social Security increase doesn't even come close to helping me out.

So, you’re saying even without a minimum wage increase the prices are going up so we should just raise the minimum wage so people can afford these higher prices?

We've been warned since last year when everyone was making a hard dash for toilet paper...

Spring is coming. It's time to form mutual aid groups in your neighbourhood to grow food. One grows tomatoes, another grows squash, another grows beans, etc. All share the tools. Then all share the harvest. Also, look for wild food on public property like apples, rosehips, etc.

PPL R ALREADY HURTING W/BIDEN'S KILL JOBS; KILL OUR 1 ENERGY-INDUSTRY; ENVIRONMENTALISTS N ILLEGALS FIRST; N AMERICANS LAST-agendas: sure recipe for chronic stagnant economy, like obama's.. illegals-crisis now, soon miserable, chronic stagnant economy.

Amber and Sterling Marchand and their four children, ages 9, 7, 5 and 3, put the box outside their home last June after reading about the increased demand for food for people in need and the decreased supply, both due to the pandemic. 'We started to reach out to local nonprofits to donate the food and create relationships.' I like that family and their neighbors. People helping people. Wonderful.
