      That was my first guess as well. People who are wealthy enough to both a) not be affected by it will generally be wealthy enough to not do their own shopping.

        I was thinking more like people who live at home with their parents, and their parents buy the food. The top 20% of earners start at $80,000/year and those folks are certainly seeing the impact.

          Jeez…I knew it was bad. But I didn’t realize it was that bad.

          I’m not questioning or anything. Just interested in knowing where you got that number from.

      Could be folks that moved to an area where the prices are cheaper from when they came from. That has been the case for me.
