Many households okay the uh the rising cost of essential Goods like groceries put additional pressure on families already grappling with economic uncertainty okay factors such as supply chain disruptions inflamation AR uh pressures and extreme weather events contribute to the surge in food prices further straining budgets and exacerbating food insecurity for V
Vulnerable populations so I want to touch on the uh the factors such as uh what what it’s talking about Supply food uh chain uh disruptions as you all know I’m actually in the uh Transportation sector and I’ve experienced and witnessed this I’m not going to give about the shipper’s name
But just let’s say they produce chips bags of chips and the problem is you know we we we drivers with book loads but these uh shippers have been canceling out these loads because there is not enough product to hit your shelves your store shelves that’s a form of supply chain
Disruptions and you people see what’s going on okay uh the rise in cost of essential Goods like groceries we see what’s going on okay for instance for uh for you to go buy a loaf of bread or some eggs peanut butter jelly butter those common items would you know
They’re through the roof they’re not like the same how it was four years ago okay 3 years ago everything is continuing to go up as your president uh sleepy creepy Joe he stated that there’s a food shortage okay so it’s up to you people to see what’s going on so that
Way you can make sense of this all right uh and this is also furthermore why there’s always going to be a continual onsa challenge with you trying to uh uh how they say stack your money up all right so watch this it says all the reasons why people are starting their
Own Gardens and having their own livestock okay as you know in the past and I want to say the 80s and all the 90s I know my grandmother she was an avid extreme couponer and she was always coming out on top okay she was always
Coming out on top and guess what we see that happening right now okay we see people starting to become Avid couponers okay so we have this other thing okay uh it’s called Sheng flation watch this it says us consumers are spending more on food than they have in 30 years and this
Is going into shrinkflation that’s right shrinkflation what you would get at a said fast food Corporation you will pay for a large but in return it’ll come back to you in the form of a small or a medium okay you’ll get a large fry they give you the large
Fry box but it will give you medium or small portions that’s what we’re seeing okay or you’ll get a pizza okay from a fast food chain a corporation you order a large but you’ll get it in the form of a medium or small pizza you can’t make
This up okay the way we combat this in my house okay uh we go to local establishments and Mom and Pop shops because for the most part they have been giving us our reasonable portions if I order a large pizza from an actual local pizzeria it’s a large pizza okay it’s
Not a small it’s not me getting a large it’s not me paying for large prices and getting getting it in return on small or medium shares okay so this is what I’ve been doing in my house okay so let check this out it says Americans spent 11.3%
Of their disposable income on food in 2022 so the extra money that they had okay they spent 11.3% of their disposable income on food in 2022 more than they have since 1991 restaurant prices were up 5.1% in January 2024 thus far compared to the same month last year and groceries
Jumped 1.2% in the same period so this shows you that food prices are still soaring and it’s not going to go down and this is all the more why you see people establishing their own Gardens in their own backyards or you see small communities getting together creating
Their own small gardens okay uh you see people getting their livestock you see people uh Extreme Couponing okay these are all factors that you can utilize Inside Your Arsenal to go ahead and combat the rising food prices was going on so like I said I hope uh this you
Know I hope this resonates with you all uh I would like I said I would begin cuc couponing I would uh if you live in an apartment or you have a balcony go ahead grow your garden if you have a house grow your garden get you some livestock
Get your own eggs eggs are going up okay so that’s what I would do like I said we’re going to always make sure that we give you the news through our perspective through our lens okay so that way you all can make a uh uh uh educated decision all right so uh
