Walmart Combating Inflation in its Own Way

This $8 per person offering is Walmart’s latest way to relieve inflation-weary customers. However, customers should enjoy this brief respite while they can, as the company’s CEO recently warned that food prices would continue to spike in the coming months.

“[Food inflation] is primarily driven by eggs and dairy, but it’s not just those categories,” McMillon said during the Dec. 3 Morgan Stanley Global Consumer and Retail Conference. “There’s also pressure on cocoa and other inputs.”

Although he was hesitant to give any clear projections on the topic of food inflation, McMillon did express some optimism for the future.

“I don’t know what the whole year is going to look like. I hope, and I think, it could be better as these commodities adjust — some of them,” he said.

Walmart’s CEO also implied that consumers are angry about food costs, which are “a lot higher” than they were prior to the pandemic, according to Grocery Dive. The site reported that supermarket prices had increased by 25% in comparison to the time before the epidemic, citing FMI, or the Food Industry Association.

As of November, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that the cost of food to eat at home had risen 1.6% annually on a year-over-year basis.
