miguel40+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Keeps ClimbingEver noticed your favorite meat-and-potatoes meal costing way more lately? Turns out, it’s not just you—crazy weather is making staple foods like sweet potatoes, cabbage, and beef pricier everywhere, not just in Uganda. Farmers aren’t rushing to sell now that rains have returned, so there’s less beef on the market, and prices are spiking. Experts say climate chaos could keep pushing food costs up for years. Some scientists are even breeding heat-resistant apples and tougher coffee trees to help out. Wild times for your wallet and your plate! #FoodPrices #ClimateChange #GroceryShopping52Share
Amanda Carroll+FollowWhy Your Grocery Bill Just JumpedNoticed your grocery bill creeping up again? Shop prices are back in inflation mode for the first time in almost a year, with food costs rising faster than before. Meat, fruit, and veggies are pricier thanks to weather messing with harvests and higher worker pay. The good news? Non-food stuff like DIY tools and garden gear is still cheaper than last year. So, if you’re looking to save, maybe it’s time to fix up the house instead of splurging on steak night! #MoneyHacks #Inflation #GroceryShopping #Business #LocalBusiness40Share
