Show Notes
Grocery prices soaring, food banks in New York City face a 35% cost increase since February, primarily due to diesel fuel for transportation. This surge, linked to tanker issues in the Strait of Hormuz, is making everyday staples unaffordable for many. New Yorkers are turning to free food programs or skipping items. The food bank is adapting by prioritizing cheap staples and encouraging consumers to swap meat for beans, buy in bulk, and join store rewards programs. Experts warn these supply shocks could persist for months.
