1
Americans are buying less groceries.
2
Grocery product purchases were flat in 2025, then declined about 2% year over year in most months since February of 2026.
3
That's according to a report by Nielsen IQ and Bain and Company that was shared exclusively with CNBC.
4
This is surprising because rarely does the grocery market see full decline across the entire sector.
5
Consumers are facing higher grocery prices and Snap benefit changes, as well as other inflationary pressures, which is impacting the grocery industry.
6
Years of elevated grocery prices are forcing retailers like Walmart and Kroger to spend more, keeping prices low even as shoppers buy fewer items.
7
Now that combination is making it harder to turn a greater profit.
8
So that big grocery stock up trip that costs you $300 in 2019, now costing you $400.
9
Even that upper income consumer, you're talking a big enough absolute dollar change that people start to feel a little bit of that sticker shock and start to shop around more.
10
28% of consumers say they are actively trying to reduce how much they spend on groceries.
11
Among those shoppers, more than half are trading down to lower priced brands, including private label, and more than 40% are leaning on coupons and discounts.
12
And as more people adopt GLP-1s, they are, on average buying less groceries.
13
This shift is changing which retailers are winning value players, discount and club stores are gaining shoppers.
14
So it's not just about being the absolute lowest price on shelf. The edge goes to grocers that are priced sharply on the products that customers notice most.
15
Things like ground beef, chicken, milk, eggs. And they're using a combination of promotions, loyalty programs, personalization, private label to stitch together an overall value proposition that customers can understand and trust.
16
But people are still buying less items and new changes to Snap benefits in 2026 across dozens of states restrict participants from buying sugary drinks and food, which is also reducing grocery baskets.
17
Pepsico, which makes snacks like Doritos and Gatorade, is feeling a shift.
18
Demand in North America weakened in its recent second quarter earnings reported this month.
19
North America food revenue fell 2% while volume was flat, executives said.
20
U.S. food and beverage performance moderated and trailed the company's expectations.
21
They also noted that the company has increased promotions as consumers became more price sensitive.
22
Recently, retailers including Walmart and Kroger have tried emphasizing price cuts and promotions to attract more shoppers, including some PepsiCo products. One Telsey Advisory Group analyst I spoke with said that grocers have been pushing back on the suppliers to reduce prices where possible.
23
Other grocers could expand their private label or enhance their loyalty programs, but other financial strains like gas prices and inflation will likely need to ease in order for the industry growth to return back to normal.

Für wen ist dieses Video geeignet?

Dieses Video eignet sich hervorragend für fortgeschrittene Englischlerner, die an ihrem Verständnis von wirtschaftlichen Themen und ihrem Englisch sprechen üben wollen. Es hilft, komplexe Sachverhalte zu verarbeiten und natürliche Sprachmuster in Kontexten wie Wirtschaft und Alltag kennenzulernen. Ideal für diejenigen, die ihre Fähigkeit verbessern wollen, Reden oder Berichte zu folgen und selbst über aktuelle Trends zu sprechen.

Wörter und Redewendungen, die man sich abschauen sollte

  • Sticker shock: Der Schock, wenn man einen viel höheren Preis sieht, als erwartet. Beispiel: "Der hohe Preis für Milch brachte ihn zu Sticker shock."
  • Trading down: Auf billigere Marken umsteigen. Beispiel: "Viele Verbraucher traden down, um Geld zu sparen."
  • Value proposition: Das, was einen Produkt oder Dienst wert macht (Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis). Beispiel: "Der Supermarkt bietet eine klare value proposition durch niedrige Preise für Grundnahrungsmittel."
  • Trail expectations: Nicht den Erwartungen entsprechen. Beispiel: "Die Verkaufszahlen trailen die Erwartungen des Unternehmens."

Wie man den Akzent richtig bekommt

Um die Aussprache in diesem Video zu üben, konzentriere dich auf Englische Aussprache verbessern durch Shadowing (auch shadowspeak oder shadow speech genannt). Der Sprecher spricht klar, mit einem neutralen amerikanischen Akzent, aber mit schnellen Passagen bei Zahlen und Statistiken. Achte darauf, die Betonung in Wörtern wie "inflationary pressures" (Betonung auf "in-FLA-tion-ar-y") oder "private label" (Betonung auf "LA-bel") zu hören. Übe, die Intonation bei Kommentaren zu Trends nachzuahmen – z. B. die leichte Senkung der Stimme bei negativen Entwicklungen wie "declined about 2%". Wiederhole Sätze langsam, dann immer schneller, um die Rhythmusstruktur zu internalisieren. So trainierst du nicht nur die Aussprache, sondern auch das Flüssigsein im Sprechen.

Grammatik in diesem Video

Was ist die Shadowing-Technik?

Shadowing ist eine wissenschaftlich fundierte Sprachlerntechnik, die ursprünglich für die professionelle Dolmetscherausbildung entwickelt und durch den Polyglotten Dr. Alexander Arguelles populär gemacht wurde. Die Methode ist einfach aber wirkungsvoll: Du hörst englisches Audio von Muttersprachlern und wiederholst es sofort laut — wie ein Schatten, der dem Sprecher mit nur 1–2 Sekunden Verzögerung folgt. Anders als passives Hören oder Grammatikübungen zwingt Shadowing dein Gehirn und deine Mundmuskulatur, gleichzeitig echte Sprachmuster zu verarbeiten und zu reproduzieren. Studien zeigen, dass es Aussprachegenauigkeit, Intonation, Rhythmus, verbundene Sprache, Hörverständnis und Sprechflüssigkeit signifikant verbessert — was es zu einer der effektivsten Methoden für die IELTS Speaking-Vorbereitung und reale englische Kommunikation macht.
