Navigating Inflation: How Grocery Shopping Habits are Changing.
Consumers in the US are feeling the effects of high inflation rates, with many rethinking how they buy groceries to save money. Some are switching supermarkets or buying less expensive alternatives, while others are buying store-brand products to keep costs down. Private label goods have seen a gradual uptick in popularity, driven by high inflation categories such as pet care and dairy. Discount grocery stores have benefited from the current climate, which has brought in new customers at many different income levels trying to trim costs. Despite rising grocery bills, Americans are now spending more on dining out than groceries.
