INDIANAPOLIS — About 90% of Americans are concerned about food prices, according to a survey conducted by The Harris Poll on behalf of Alpha Foods.
Miller has been the manager of The Meat Shop for 10 years. The shop offers 26 different bundle options. A regular customer of the Meat Shop Demetrius Baxter has been buying in bulk for years. He says it helps him save money in the long run. "In the long run if a consumer anticipates inflation coming up, consumers buy more to save for the future,” Krista Li an Associate Professor of Marketing at Indiana University said. “Future demand will go down and that will help to fight inflation because people will buy less in the future that will reduce demand and future prices."
