Consumer Affairs estimates food costs are up 5% so far this year, and up 25% over the past two years. And the Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service predicts food prices will increase another 2.9%. CNN, CNBC and Axios have all covered the alarming trend.

But I liked these two roundups with some classic—and some wackier—ideas from CNBC (consider the store’s own brand, which can be cheaper) and Investopedia (avoid prepared foods, shop without kids in tow, and look down—stores often put the most expensive items at eye-level). Then there’s the news of the Kraft-Heinz mega merger from a decade ago getting completely unwound—and I have to wonder, how much did that $23 billion disappointment wind up costing the average American buying food in grocery stores?
