Grocery store shoppers sound off on surging prices

DC suburban shopper tells Fox News, ‘Can’t afford half the stuff… it’s outrageous’

Shoppers in a Washington, D.C., suburb reacted to surging grocery prices amid supply-chain bottlenecks and rising inflation.

“Can’t afford half the stuff… I think it’s outrageous,” one shopper in Lanham, Maryland, a city 10 miles northeast from the district, told Fox News.

“It’s crazy!” another woman leaving Costco said.

Food prices rose 4.6% since September 2020, according to the latest Consumer Price Index. Meat, poultry, fish, and eggs rose 10.5%, the most drastic increase among food items.

“You can definitely feel the difference … it takes an impact on your entire life,” a Wegmans shopper told Fox News. She said she’s started going to a discount store for meats and other items.

Luis, a supermarket owner, was filling up his truck with a trolley stacked with items. He said he’s no longer able to get products directly from manufacturers.
