    YOU HAVE 6 WEEKS LEFT TO BUILD YOUR FALL BUFFER

    Your Grocery Store Is Now Charging Different People Different Prices — What's Actually Happening

    Send us Fan Mail Consumer Reports caught a major grocery delivery platform charging some shoppers up to 23% more for identical items from the same store at the same minute. Meanwhile, Walmart is rolling out price tags that can change up to six times a minute to all 4,600 of its US stores by end of 2026. Kroger has them in nearly one in four stores already.

    The Smallest Wheat Crop Since 1970 Was Just Confirmed — Here's What to Do Before Fall

    Send us Fan Mail The USDA released its July crop production report on July 10th. The wheat number is the one I've been watching all season — and on Thursday, it was officially confirmed.   Total US wheat production for 2026: 1.536 billion bushels. The lowest since 1970. That is 56 years.   Winter wheat — the class that makes your bread flour and all-purpose flour — came in at 990 million bushels. Down 29% from last year. Hard Red Winter wheat, which is specifically the bread wheat grown across Kansas and the Southern Plains, is the smallest crop since 1958.   Today I'm breaking down what this means for your pantry — flour, bread, pasta, crackers, cereal, and the downstream effects on feed grain costs — and what the summer window you're in right now means for what to do before the farm-to-retail lag brings these numbers to your grocery shelf.

    Grocery Stores Are Quietly Changing What They Stock — Here's What's Disappearing First

    Send us Fan Mail Something is happening at your grocery store right now that most shoppers are walking right past. Packages are getting smaller. Products are being reformulated. And manufacturers are counting on you not to check the net weight.   This week I have covered the big structural forces bearing down on fall grocery prices — the fertilizer crisis (Monday) and the record Fourth of July cookout costs (Wednesday). Today I want to bring it to the shelf level: what is actually changing on your grocery store shelves right now, category by category, and what you can do about it. https://youtu.be/RHDTS-8TRIw Support the show 📚My Books 📖Pantry Preparedness: The Best Insurance Money Can Buy!

    Your Fourth of July Cookout Just Hit a Record High — Here's What That Means for This Fall

    Send us Fan Mail The American Farm Bureau Federation just released their 2026 Summer Cookout Cost Survey — and this year's Fourth of July cookout hit a record high. Ground beef is now $14.06 for two pounds, the highest ever recorded in the survey. Pork and beans rose 13.8%. Fresh strawberries up 12.4%. But here's what I want you to understand: the cookout numbers are not just a news story. They are a diagnostic. The forces that drove those prices — the cattle herd at a 75-year low, the tariff lag beginning to show up on canned goods, weather-driven produce disruptions — are the same forces that are going to drive your October and November grocery bills. They don't reverse between now and fall. They compound. I'm going to walk you through what the data is actually saying, which specific categories are most at risk, and exactly what to do right now — this July and August — while the summer window is still open.

    THE FERTILIZER CRISIS NOBODY IS TALKING ABOUT And What It Means for Your Grocery Bill This Fall

    Send us Fan Mail The story you're not seeing in the mainstream coverage of the Strait of Hormuz crisis: one-third of the world's fertilizer supply was disrupted at the exact moment of spring planting. The FAO has warned this will reduce crop yields and tighten food supplies in the second half of 2026 and into 2027. That window starts now.  I spent time going through the institutional reports — the FAO, the World Economic Forum, agricultural economists at the University of Illinois, and industry data from Yara International — and I want to walk you through what they're actually saying and what it means for your grocery bill this fall.  This is not fear-based content.
