I understand people are angry over the skyrocketing prices but it’s not the stores to blame as much as you think , Trudeau/NDP government has cause this and it starts with all the taxes . The more you pay for energy resources to keep your doors open and trucks moving makes your overhead higher so you have to make that cost up somewhere. Smaller stores and makers don’t have the same over head costs so can keep the prices lower . https://lnkd.in/gDzN4FDS

The week started of strong, and it's continuing to look strong as well. With increasing prices for liquids, we see the market is getting ready for higher prices. We did get a lot of calls/emails/WhatsApp messages asking what is driving our bullish view/ or this bullish momentum. Judging from these questions, it seems a lot of partners had been expecting an opposite move. The answer lies within the question it seems. With many partners convinced prices should drop, we now see many buyers returning at the same time to the market, trying to lock in whatever cheap offers they can still find. And a market with more buyers and fewer sellers almost never trades down. ? Want to read our view on this market, please click the article below.

Deadweight Loss The cost to consumers and sellers when goods aren’t sold at normal market prices or in normal market quantities, can be caused by price ceilings and floors, taxes and subsidies, product surpluses and deficits, and monopolies. The deadweight loss is the net benefit that is missed out on. While losses to one entity often lead to gains for another, deadweight loss represents the loss that is not regained by anyone else. This loss is therefore attributed to both producers and consumers. There are goods being produced despite the cost of doing so being larger than the benefit, or additional goods are not being produced despite the fact that the benefits of their production would be larger than the costs.

#Grocery costs against the backdrop of high #inflation continues to make headlines. What many might not know is that the grocery store landscape in the United States is imbalanced with the strong majority of stores (greater than 75%) owned and controlled by big box -? the likes of Walmart, Amazon, ALDI USA, Dollar General. The grocery or #food #retail industry in the US is a case of David vs Goliath (Independent vs Big Box) and one I could't appreciate until my company became a provider to it. My time leading a #software company serving Independent food retailers has made a lasting, positive impression.?The heart of the Independent is in the right place, working incredibly hard to solve #problems that impact their #local #consumer. #Competition underpins how goods, in this case, grocery items are #priced. It has always been the hallmark of capitalism, where consumers "set the market." Given recent news headline (see The Wall Street Journal below), I believe more context and suggestions need to be provided for the industry. For my family and me, it has changed the way we shop for food. (1) By the end of this year, nearly 60% of Walmart’s revenues will come from food sales. This arguably makes them a food retailer, not just a retail store.? This should cause some pause to consumers especially if the share of big box continues to grow. It would be detrimental to the independent grocer and reduces competition. For any #parent, imagine a world a decade or two from now where our children’s grocery store options are limited to big box. The independent retailer are citizens of their own communities and in some cases part of the?#community’s identity engendering important #social bonds. (2) There’s an opportunity for the national #associations to run campaigns to help educate the consumer on the benefits on shopping independent food?retailers. These neighborhood grocers deliver great value focusing on #fresh and #healthy options, sourcing locally, and delivering unparalleled customer service. Industry associations (such as NGA and FMI) should allocate spend on consumer education demonstrating the trade-offs by shopping at big box, especially when it comes to quality and food waste (e.g. #shrink). For example, buying in bulk has hidden costs on the consumer. (3) Having clean #data and leveraging #AI is 100% necessary for independent retailers to better compete. Consumers, esp. younger generations take notice of technology use in a business. Every independent retailer is capturing droves of purchase data, and need to execute in a manner where private label expansion, inventory, vendor negotiations, #pricing, etc. are more data driven. There’s much generational know-how that can be greatly augmented with AI to improve value to the consumer.
