    This investigation should be over quickly. Whereas at the beginning of Covid, it was cheaper to shop at Kroger than the local grocery co-op and the fresh thyme, both are now cheaper than Kroger by ~$50/week for a family of 3. The same carton of eggs at fresh thyme is half the price of Kroger. Make it make sense!!!

      Likewise Trader Joe’s prices have shot up tremendously, like 50% on many items in less than a year. This while Aldi’s prices have not risen nearly as much. Meanwhile corporations are celebrating the highest profits in more than 70 years while simultaneously working overtime to convince us those runaway profits have nothing to do with inflation.
