Popular Grocery Chain Admits To PRICE GOUGING In California, Utah, & Nevada

It seems like no matter where you look, everything is going UP! Utility bills, gas prices, clothing, fast food, and especially groceries. It’s all thanks to something called “inflation,” but here’s the kicker—why doesn’t “inflation” ever boost our paychecks? Kinda frustrating, right? Oddly enough, some businesses have been thriving this past year, and one in particular is at the center of this story. A major grocery chain just confessed to overcharging customers to pad their profits!

WHO'S BEEN JACKING UP THE PRICES?

According to Food Industry reports, Kroger pulled in over $148 billion in revenue during the 2023 fiscal year. But here’s where it gets wild: during recent antitrust hearings, Bloomberg revealed that a Kroger exec admitted to bumping up the prices on essentials like eggs and milk beyond what was necessary for inflation.
