Scope, fixed for all members: BLS and USDA price moves for eggs, milk, butter, cheese, chicken, beef, pork, bread, rice, pasta, coffee, cocoa, sugar, flour, produce staples, baby formula and pet food; documented shrinkflation from labels, Consumer World and Mouse Print; supply shocks; Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Costco, Aldi, Target, Amazon Fresh, H-E-B, Publix, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods loyalty, coupon, pricing and delivery changes; store-brand launches and reformulations; availability recalls.
Prompt for the operator's assistant
Track US grocery prices. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: BLS and USDA price moves of 10 percent or more year over year or 5 percent month over month for eggs, milk, butter, cheese, chicken, beef, pork, bread, rice, pasta, coffee, cocoa, sugar, flour, produce staples, baby formula and pet food; documented shrinkflation with old and new sizes from manufacturer labels or Consumer World and Mouse Print reporting; supply shocks such as avian flu, drought, tariffs and strikes with expected price effects; loyalty program, digital coupon, pricing and delivery fee changes at Walmart, Kroger, Albertsons, Costco, Aldi, Target, Amazon Fresh, H-E-B, Publix, Trader Joe's and Whole Foods; store-brand launches and reformulations; and recalls that affect availability. Prefer BLS, USDA, retailer announcements and established consumer reporting; ignore single-store anecdotes. Put the product or store first in the title with the number. Use high severity for a staple moving 20 percent, a shrinkflation of 15 percent or more, or a loyalty change at a top-5 grocer. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the number, the outlook, what to do, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.
