In this report I break down a recent analysis from Wall Street Truth Bombs highlighting Kroger’s latest earnings and comments from their new CEO (a former Walmart executive). Key Points from the Report: • Kroger and affiliated stores (including Tom Thumb) are seeing meat prices 25% higher than Costco. • They are actively working to become more competitive on pricing. • Broader pressures on the food supply chain: reduced planting volumes (70% of farmers planting less), historically low cattle herds in key states (Montana, Wyoming, Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico), and lingering effects from previous disruptions. • The analyst emphasizes watching what major retailers (Target, Walmart, Costco) say in their quarterly reports — corporations can’t easily lie to shareholders. Defensive Preparedness Takeaways: • Bulk buying and long-term food storage (especially proteins and staples) remains smart while prices are still manageable. • Portioning, vacuum sealing, and rotating your stores helps stretch your budget. • Watch corporate earnings and shelf trends — they often signal what’s coming before it hits everyday consumers. • Focus on what you can control: consistent small actions beat panic buying. This is another reminder that supply chain and food price pressures are building gradually. Stay observant and prepared. What are you noticing with meat or grocery prices in your area?

Live highlight: “This is why people should prep.” I explain that preparedness isn’t about fantasizing over a zombie apocalypse. It’s about real, probable events like floods, industrial accidents taking out the power grid, tornadoes, or severe weather. Key Message: Focus on the 90% most likely scenarios for where you live instead of the 1% Hollywood stuff. Prep for floods if you’re in a flood zone, cold weather and wildlife if you’re in the mountains, etc. This realistic approach is at the core of Defensive Preparedness — practical steps that actually protect your family.

Morning live where I share a real “this is getting ridiculous” moment. I spent $25 on a Hamilton Beach double breakfast sandwich maker several years ago.. after my McDonald’s breakfast fiasco I decided to share a video of the breakfast maker that I have and how I save money with it. I went to look for the link online and that breakfast maker has increased from $27 to over 50. If everything over the last four years has nearly doubled in price it is no wonder why people are struggling to make ends. We talked about: • How fast food / restaurant breakfast costs have nearly doubled in recent years • The frustration many families are feeling with everyday inflation • Why cooking simple meals at home (like using my old Hamilton Beach sandwich maker) can save huge money • The broader picture of fuel prices and supply chain pressure affecting groceries Defensive Preparedness takeaway: We fight inflation one smart habit at a time — buying useful kitchen tools, cooking from home, and choosing fresh ingredients over expensive convenience food. This is how we stay in control instead of letting rising prices control us. What’s the most shocking price increase you’ve noticed lately?
