As inflation and tariffs drive up costs, Meijer is stepping in with a plan to slash prices on key groceries from May to July.

Tariffs and a Weakened Economy

If grocery prices keep rising, receipts might be a new cause of high blood pressure. Every time I go to the grocery store, I can feel my face turn red when I read the receipt.

The United States doesn't just import household goods from China, it also relies heavily on produce from Mexico and other South American countries. The tariffs are raising the prices of everyday necessities, and many Americans are already cutting back on what they spend their money on.

I was shopping over the weekend, and several times I picked something up, saw the price, put it back, and said I don't need it.

'Lower prices' hasn't been associated with groceries since before the COVID-19 pandemic. Grocery prices have been rising steadily since 2020 and show no signs of slowing down.
