Food
The pandemic has placed a heavy burden on food supply chains. As a result, the cost of groceries increased by 4.1% since the pandemic started. Unfortunately, in 2021, Americans will have to stretch their paychecks even further.
According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture’s Economic Research Service, there will be cost growths for practically everything we eat. The prices for “at home” food will grow by between 1% to 2% in 2021 while eating out costs will jump by 2% or 3%.
