CUSTOMERS have struggled with rising grocery costs as inflationary pressures keep up with dozens of food segments.

Shoppers took to social media to decry shocking prices as shortages hit American’s wallets.

Customers slammed prices on consumer goods – but external pressure made fruits more expensive

A customer complaint on X (formerly known as Twitter) revealed a larger economic shortage.

The customer posted a picture of a gallon of orange juice at Kroger – the price was $6.49, marked down from $6.99.

“Locked in low price,” a sign on the gallon said.

The customer remained unconvinced by the low-price policy Kroger advertised.

“It was $3.49 for the longest [time],” the customer said.

“What happened that y’all had to double the price? 100% inflation is buck wild.”

Kroger responded to the customer’s outreach: “Thank you for your feedback about our prices.”

A Kroger representative didn’t immediately respond to The U.S. Sun’s questions about

The customer threatened to take their business to discount competitor Aldi.

However, The U.S. Sun found an equivalent Aldi gallon of orange juice for $6.39.
