Bump Williams’ CEO Dave Williams says beer prices are up 7% so far this because people are downsizing how much they purchase….what a line of corporate B.S.! I am going to use up all the misc. beer, wine, whiskey, and gin that’s been sitting in my liquor cabinet/fridge before buying anything else. This minuscule change to the market won’t swing the pendulum of price gouging but it’s time to stop buying stuff and let the market equalize.
perhaps the real hidden trend is "baby boomers" continue to age and shift as a group toward carb free diets. less beer yet still consuming alchohol. wine choices over beer. low cal mixed drinks. yeah, the flu killed a billion chickens. i started eating oatmeal more like the doc says i should. i stopped eating "lots" of carbs pre-covid. and i shifted to more "enhanced" BBQ methods like smokers and such. i'm fine with eating whatever is cheap meat. this weekend i found pork tenderloin for around $2 per pound! yeah bacon is expensive, but pork tenderloin is awesome! years ago a friend told me since USA loves bacon - we get the rest of the pig "for cheap". and thru the winter we enjoy comfort food thru the slow cooker menus. thank god i'm not vegan or i'd really be screwed since salad fixin's continue to be waaaay over price!
Avocado prices should stabilize and perhaps go down in the future. The US approved import of HASS avocados from Ecuador in the middle of 2022. The EC gov expects to increase from 6,000 hectares to 10,000 hectares in a few years. Where I live they are 5 for a $1. Mexico is pissed off. Ole'.
Yesterday I bought a 2.2 lb bag of chicken wings for $5.99, a dozen eggs for $2.99, a pound of butter for $3.49, and a loaf of white bread for 79 cents. And I filled up my tank for less than $3/gal. Prices are falling.
