ECONOMY NEWS
- ➤ Grocery shoppers in the Tri-State saw shifts in staple prices from September to October as apples rose by 24 cents and canned soup and spinach went up due to a poor Honeycrisp season and tin mill steel shortages (50% tariff) reported by the UC Alpaugh Family Economic Center. Deli turkey prices increased by more than a dollar per pound while eggs, chicken, tomatoes and grapes dropped in price, and chocolate costs rose because global cocoa shortages spurred by heavy rains pushed up production costs.
