It's called GREEDflation boys and it has been for years because most people with a brain knew exactly what you at the FTC are now saying. Guess what....food price were rising almost daily in 2020 when Covid took hold but the media and most other RW idiots like to put all the blame on Biden and pretend nothing went up on food until somewhere into 2021. Total BS.........

So...what the HELL are you going to do about it?? Slap the wrist of the CEO of Kroger??
