In this report I break down a recent analysis from Wall Street Truth Bombs highlighting Kroger’s latest earnings and comments from their new CEO (a former Walmart executive).
Key Points from the Report:
• Kroger and affiliated stores (including Tom Thumb) are seeing meat prices 25% higher than Costco.
• They are actively working to become more competitive on pricing.
• Broader pressures on the food supply chain: reduced planting volumes (70% of farmers planting less), historically low cattle herds in key states (Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico), and lingering effects from previous disruptions.
• The analyst emphasizes watching what major retailers (Target, Walmart, Costco) say in their quarterly reports — corporations can’t easily lie to shareholders.
Defensive Preparedness Takeaways:
• Bulk buying and long-term food storage (especially proteins and staples) remains smart while prices are still manageable.
• Portioning, vacuum sealing, and rotating your stores helps stretch your budget.
• Watch corporate earnings and shelf trends — they often signal what’s coming before it hits everyday consumers.
• Focus on what you can control: consistent small actions beat panic buying.
This is another reminder that supply chain and food price pressures are building gradually. Stay observant and prepared.
