Why Your Grocery Bill Keeps Going Up (It's Not What You Think)

Описание: Your grocery bill keeps going up, but where is all that money actually going? Is the farmer getting rich? Is the supermarket the bad guy? The real answer surprised us, and it might save your family close to $1,000 a year.

In this video, Eddie and Audrey follow the money from the farm to your fork, using official government data:
• Why grocery prices are up about 32% since 2020, and why "inflation is down" doesn't mean prices are down
• The surprising truth about paychecks vs. groceries
• Who really gets your food dollar (hint: farmers get about 12 cents)
• Beef, eggs and coffee: three foods, three very different price stories
• Why some regions got hit harder
• Shrinkflation: real, but smaller than it feels
• 4 simple habits that can really lower your grocery bill
