Director of the Food and Society policy program at the Aspen Institute, Corby Kummer, explained why shoppers in Massachusetts, especially in Boston, are facing higher grocery costs.
Yeah, it is blaming the bad situation on competition from small businesses, which makes no sense. Stop and Shop is not big enough and just can’t seem to figure out how to lower prices with all this competition /s.
I’m sure that will drive down prices. Or maybe it works like trickle down economics. If the grocery chains are super rich then they will all hire us for really good wages and then that’s how we’ll get money.
