Are you willing not to purchase food from your grocer for one day?!
Are you willing not to purchase food from your grocer for one day?
There is not a convincing reason why the cost of groceries and dairy, especially milk has escalated in price this week. Last week I paid 2.99 for a half gallon of 2% milk. The same milk was priced at 4.19 yesterday.
Some people asked to boycott the gas pumps on May 15. It helped drop the cost by an average of 5 cents per gallon in my region. Now I am asking that we do the same to the grocers on June 3rd, which is a Sunday. That is the day when stores are the busiest. Let us help in reversing the high costs now occuring.
Thank you

A one day boycott would have a significant impact. Think of all the dated foods that wouldn't get sold and the tender garden variety veggies and meats, etc. Would you buy any food today that the expiration day is tomorrow or even two days from now?
I wouldn't. A negative look at the impact only gives the grocers the leverage and meanwhile emptying your wallet.

Sounds good to me. They might blame it on the price of gas. We all know that is crap also.
money go down and go bak up

It's a good idea.... But will it work??
One day boycotts do nothing. Gas prices are based on many factors, mainly on crude oil futures, but also on demand, time of year, and refinery productivity. If your gas prices dropped at the same time as the boycott it was purely coincidental. How would one day of not filling up change anything? For a boycott to work, it has to continue until the company gives in. If you really wanted the price of groceries to go down, you'd have to stop buying groceries altogether until the companies felt the crunch.
The increase in consumer goods is directly linked to the price of gas. Think about it, when gas goes up ten cents a gallon, that's like an increase of $50 to fill up a semi truck's tank.
Yes, I'm willing.
I don't shop everyday anyway.
Only about twice a month.
