If you feel like you're spending a ton of money at the grocery store, it's because you are. Grocery prices are eating up 9.2% of Montanans consumer spending dollars.
Over the last couple of years Montanans have dealt with with the difficulties due to the pandemic and supply chain issues, and it looks like 2023 is no different.
Oddly enough, this week it seems to be razors, hair products and pasta. The empty shelves where pasta should be might be a fluke as I haven't seen anything in the national news about the "Great Christmas Pasta Shortage of '21". The others make sense.
NOTE: I hate the grocery store. But I LOVE the people that work there and bust their tail everyday to make sure the most essential of essential services continue to operate. Things DO NOT seem right, however.
Would you like a "virtual" grocery store? I don't think it would be all that bad! BUT - not crazy of the thought of these on every corner. Do you think this would make life easier? Thoughts!?! ~ Erin
Grocery shopping is one of those necessary evils for most of us...
