Speaker 1: Sure, we're on iHeartRadio, Spotify and every digital platform there is.
But why go there searching for everything we've got when
you can just go to Arrow dot net a r
Roe dot net. I'm always asking questions, and the reason
why is because the fund begins when you start researching
for answers, such as with the cost of food on
the rise? Are grocery store chains making a mint? Plus,
when temperatures begin to fall and sunlight becomes hard to collect,
does it affect the weight on our waste? My name
is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That
means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,
then activate. I happen to call it the daily mass,
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my
morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we
as people tend to throw things to the side because
we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well,
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's
time to dig in. It still can keeping that daily journal,
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This
is the daily mess. So what is the exact profit
made at a grocery store. I mean, with prices at
an all time high and consumers facing a month without
government food support, who is really making the money here?
While believe it or not, grocery store chains operate on
a very thin profit margin. The numbers in revenue do
not come across as being huge, but it's because of
huge sales volumes. The average net profit margin for a
neighborhood grocery store is maybe one to three percent. For
every one hundred dollars that consumers spend, the grocery store
could earn one to three dollars. You know, there's rent
to pay, labor, energy, and every day logistics. They all
cut into the profit the store makes. Stores that pull
in five hundred thousand to one million dollars weekly earn
about five to thirty thousand dollars. So who's making the
most money, Well, it's Walmart, Kroger, Costco. They all rely
on huge volumes of efficiency. Making the most money in
a grocery store are prepared foods and bakery, in house
deli or coffee station, and stores that have their own
private brands. And although low margin items barely make any money,
they're needed to attract consumers to come into the store.
We're talking eggs, water, milk, and bread. When those babies
are looking cheap, that store is looking very attractive. Hey,
coming up next. My father used to tell us all
the time, do you have a third leg? Because if
you do, we've got a problem. What exactly was he
talking about? Hey, welcome back to the daily mess. My
father used to endlessly accuse his sons of having a
third leg. I was known for eating a lot of food,
almost never feeling like I'm full? Is that because I
grew up in a very cold state of Montana and
during the fall months in Carolina, the temperatures are actually
described as being cold to the bone. When the temp
drops outside, humans tend to eat more. It's tossed into
a basket called body temperature regulation. The body needs energy
to create that heat, which increases our appetite. The colder
months also trigger us to eat heavier, warmer foods, such
as soups, stews, and casseroles, which are high in calories
and carbs. You want these foods to include serotonin so
it can help you out. With less sunlight in the day,
the average person gains one to five pounds during the
colder months. It usually arrives in smaller daily doses, which
is the reason why when it comes to dieting, you
need to pay attention to everything that you're cramming into
that gut. Those little things are stealing from your waistline
that's left in the pants. Pay close attention to everything
that you're eating. It can get out of control eye marrow,
and that's the daily mess.
