Major Michigan Grocer Fights Inflation with Price Cuts on Key Items

From egg prices being so high that some grocery stores would put limits onto how many a customer could buy at a time

To major grocery and retail store chain Walmart announcing that they will most likely be passing on higher costs to their customers as a result of President Trump's tariffs on Chinese imports.

If you didn't know, grocery stores already work on a very tight margin, so when costs go up they have to be passed on to the customer, otherwise the store will lose money and not be able to stay in business.
