Summary

80% of Americans say they've felt a notable increase in the cost of groceries. Since the start of the pandemic, grocery prices have risen 25%. Some consumers have had to sacrifice necessities to afford food. Some retailers have moved to reduce grocery prices in response to consumer price fatigue.

Coupon sites like CouponCabin may give discounts for ordering groceries online. Flashfood may provide alerts to deals on overstocked grocery items. Switching over to store or generic brands can also provide meaningful savings. Buying products in bulk may help save up to 40%.
