Consumers are tired of inflation. But some retailers fear falling prices - eviltoast

Key Points

  • As shoppers await price cuts, retailers like Home Depot say their prices have stabilized and some national consumer brands have paused price increases or announced more modest ones.
  • Yet some industry watchers predict deflation for food at home later this year.
  • Falling prices could bring new challenges for retailers, such as pressure to drive more volume or look for ways to cover fixed costs, such as higher employee wages.

    My brother in christ, it’s garlic and chickpeas. I’m choosing not to call them garbanzo beans but specifically peas. Tho, yes, but it’s all blended and shit.

      Peas and beans are both legumes and there’s no reason to separate them biologically into two types the way we do it.
