Key Takeaways:

32.8% of Americans are feeling the impacts of inflation on their grocery bill more than anywhere else

Inflation is hurting women more than men at the grocery store; men more than women at the gas station

Young Americans aged 25 to 34 are over twice as likely to find that housing costs were the most inflation-hit compared to retirement-aged Americans

Men find that inflation has hit harder at the gas pump (32.8% vs. 27%)

Women find that their grocery bills have been hardest hit by inflation (38.2%)

Younger respondents (aged 44 and under) think gas prices have been most impacted by inflation (27.9%)

Older respondents (aged 45 and older) think groceries have been most impacted by inflation (36.5%)

Survey results affirm gender-based stereotypes and sexist expectations about women’s and men’s spheres of labor and responsibility

graph

A plurality of Americans (32.8%) believe that today’s inflation rate of 8.3% has impacted their lives at the grocery checkout aisle more than anywhere else.

According to a nationwide survey published by Sophisticated Investor on May 11th, 2022, nearly one-third of Americans are most impacted by the rising cost of groceries, whereas 30.9% believe that gasoline prices have carried a higher toll on their lives.

The consumer price index (CPI), a statistical tool for measuring the change in prices of consumer goods, is currently at its highest rate in over 40 years. Given the staggering decline of the dollar’s purchasing power, it is of critical importance that survey data examine exactly how inflation is changing the lives of ordinary Americans.

[Secret Agent Man]

women buy more expensive crap and more of it, and don’t want to change their buying habits

not surprising at all

[nwrep]

And they will still vote Dem. Overwhelmingly.

[Secret Agent Man]

especially if they are single, yep

As a man, I love it when I walk into a grocery store and they give everything to me for free.

So the wacky increased prices have no effect on me at all. /s

In all seriousness:

Bidenflation is hurting All of us.

[Gene Eric]

Men at the gas pump. Women at the food stores. Go figure.

But James Carville said that Americans just don’t know how great the economy is..

(But James Carville said that Americans just don’t know how great the economy is.)

True.

I love the 58 percent increase in the canned beans I was buying.

Now, instead of having to carry 20 cans for $10 and change, my load is lighter with only 13 cans to carry now. (roughly)

James Carville is an economic genius I tell ya!

That's retarded..Sure, women may usually do the grocery shopping more, and be exposed more to any price increases (likewise, guys fill their own trucks and are more likely to run out late at night to fill the wife's car cause she didn't do it when it hit half a tank and now she's on fumes...), but her paying more for groceries hurts the guys just as much... The more she spends on bread and cheese and Reddi Whip, the less I can spend on beer and more beer.

The left is retarded.

I’d LOL but it’s too accurate

I went to 7-11 yesterday and bought a buttered bagel and a large coffee. It cost $5.10. That means that with ten dollars you couldn’t buy two. I’m done buying breakfast on the fly. Saw diesel for $6.99 here on Long Island.

[SaveFerris]

It’s transitory!!

[napscoordinator]

That seems like a much smaller percentage. I’d predict 88 percent really feel the grocery inflation.
