As shoppers prepare for Thanksgiving dinner, some say they are cutting back, shopping only for the bare necessities and even finding ways to save.
“You just have to go from spot to spot. I’ve been looking at the coupons and everything, seeing what stores have the good deals and everything,” said Darrel Harris, a customer at Prime Meats and Deli in Cleveland.
“For a while there, I was able to kind of feel a little, take a breath, and now with the way inflation is, not so much, living paycheck to paycheck, it’s a struggle,” said Melissa Conti, a customer at Mentor Family Foods. While Conway says customer volume has been up, the items they’re placing inside their carts are what appear to be down.
At Prime Meats and Deli on Superior Avenue in Cleveland, Store Manager Dana Najjar says they too are experiencing normal foot traffic.“They’re still buying a lot of food but less expensive items, so maybe last year we sold double the amount of prime ribs and this year they’re not buying as much expensive beef,” said Najjar.
