In the United States, the inflationary pressures are still being felt by consumers. Consumer prices rose 0.4 percent between March and April. This is a 0.1 percentage increase from February to march. When compared to April 2022, consumer prices increased by 4.9 percent, a figure that remains well above the Federal Reserve’s 2 percent target inflation rate.
Shoppers are seeing a small decrease in the cost of food at the grocery store. The cost of food dropped in April after a similar drop in March. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reports that the price of grocery items in April 2022 is up 7.1% compared to what it was in March.
A number of vegan organisations help those in need by providing food pantries, produce giveaways and community fridges.
