Grocery prices are stabilizing, but many Americans still feel a financial sting at the grocery checkout aisle.
Annalise and Ellie Currence stand at the fridge, while deciding what to eat for dinner at their home in Belton, Mo., on July 17."Everything is more expensive, which is a huge bummer because it's the essentials I need," says Currence, who lives in Belton, Mo., outside Kansas City. Currence's family has recently expanded: She and her husband now have 1-year-old daughter Annalise to provide for.
The cost of rent, electricity and auto insurance have all risen faster than groceries in the last year. But it's often the supermarket where shoppers still feel the sting.comes on top of a 4.7% increase in the previous year and a whopping 12.2% jump the year before that. Whitworth enjoys the employee discount, shops for her own family during breaks and likes steering other customers to in-house bargains.
Seinar's husband in Virginia, for example, says he'll only eat Heinz ketchup. So she came up with a plan. "I found I was either ripping them or she was having blowouts or leaks. And we were going through so many more diapers that it wasn't cost-efficient to continue buying the off-brand," Currence says. She reluctantly switched back to Huggies.Finding bargains takes time and effort, which is another hidden cost of inflation. Currence no longer brings her husband along to the grocery store.
