7 Dollar Apple Freaks Out Boston Shopper

Author Jaybeau Jones

Even Whole Foods shoppers are feeling it. Everyone is experiancing higher prices for everything. But, this video maybe the best yet, when a 7 dollar apple freaks out this Boston shopper. Non necessity items are taking a back seat these days when it comes to spending. Whether you’re married, single, with a family or not, we are all tapping the breaks when it comes to spending. Should I mulch the garden? Nah…too expensive. What about that ribeye for the grill, nah, it’s chicken again. What about that April vacation? Put it on the card. Sound familiar?

What Is The Reason Everything Is Costing More?

While many factors are contributing, like very high interest rates and a supply chain hangover from the pandemic, you can point to higher gas prices as one reason that groceries cost more. How do our stores get their food delivered? Trucking. The trucking industry represents most of the supermarket delivery around the country. How is food manufactured and processed? Where do they get their feed, materials, and supplies to make their food products. What about cargo shipping from over seas? Millions of pounds of grains come to America each year from overseas. What powers those massive cargo ships? When oil and gas prices are higher, it is felt by every level of the food chain, literally.

Why Are Fuel Prices Up?

Accoding to AOL.com, one reason gas is up because of geopolitics.

Global conflict is currently playing a significant role in gas prices in the U.S. Russia is the world’s largest exporter of oil to global markets. After the Russian attack on Ukraine, the U.S. and the E.U. placed sanctions on Russian oil and natural gas. These sanctions and other world conflicts are still impacting current gas costs. 

This is an odd stat, because the USA has an abundance of oil, right here in America. So why are we feeling oil problems around the world, and paying for them?

7 Dollar Apple Freaks Out Boston Shopper

So if the reporting is correct, another war is causing this 7 dollar apple video to go viral. According to the New York Post, a Boston-based influencer has sparked outrage over inflation after claiming she paid $7 for a single apple at a Whole Foods.

CAUTION: This video is not appropiate for children and uses inappropiate language. Maybe we should send this video to the Pentagon.
