Why it matters
Even as headline inflation eased, grocery staples like meat, dairy, grains, and cooking oil never returned to pre-2020 levels. WalletHub data (cited by WDAM) shows Mississippi at the top for grocery burden (about 2.64% of income), with Louisiana also high. If Walmart raises prices due to tariffs or supply pressure, low and fixed-income families feel the hit first.
Takeaways you can use today
Track unit prices on your top 20 items and note the two cheapest stores
Build a two-week buffer of staples slowly when on sale; rotate stock, watch dates
Compare store brand vs name brand by unit cost; avoid paying for shrinkflation
Use coupons, apps, and mid-week promos; stack rebates when possible
Team up with neighbors to split bulk buys and reduce waste
Ask local officials for transparency on digital pricing and shelf tag changes
Check on seniors; offer rides on restock day or coordinate a shared delivery
