1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,879
Speaker 1: Sure, we're on iHeartRadio, Spotify and every digital platform there is.

2
00:00:03,919 --> 00:00:06,639
But why go there searching for everything we've got when

3
00:00:06,679 --> 00:00:09,000
you can just go to Arrow dot net a r

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:13,919
Roe dot net. I'm always asking questions, and the reason

5
00:00:13,919 --> 00:00:16,079
why is because the fund begins when you start researching

6
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:19,359
for answers, such as with the cost of food on

7
00:00:19,399 --> 00:00:24,760
the rise? Are grocery store chains making a mint? Plus,

8
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:28,440
when temperatures begin to fall and sunlight becomes hard to collect,

9
00:00:28,960 --> 00:00:32,359
does it affect the weight on our waste? My name

10
00:00:32,399 --> 00:00:35,200
is Arrow. I'm a daily writer, a silent wolf. That

11
00:00:35,320 --> 00:00:38,719
means I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen, study,

12
00:00:38,759 --> 00:00:41,880
then activate. I happen to call it the daily mass,

13
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,000
a chronological walk through an everyday world. Yeah, it's my

14
00:00:45,079 --> 00:00:48,479
morning pages. As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we

15
00:00:48,520 --> 00:00:51,159
as people tend to throw things to the side because

16
00:00:51,159 --> 00:00:54,079
we think we're gonna deal with it later on. Well,

17
00:00:54,159 --> 00:00:57,280
when a subject arrives inside of me, I know it's

18
00:00:57,320 --> 00:01:01,200
time to dig in. It still can keeping that daily journal,

19
00:01:01,320 --> 00:01:05,599
but by doing the research, the picture becomes clearer. This

20
00:01:05,920 --> 00:01:09,680
is the daily mess. So what is the exact profit

21
00:01:09,799 --> 00:01:12,319
made at a grocery store. I mean, with prices at

22
00:01:12,319 --> 00:01:15,519
an all time high and consumers facing a month without

23
00:01:15,560 --> 00:01:19,159
government food support, who is really making the money here?

24
00:01:19,599 --> 00:01:22,000
While believe it or not, grocery store chains operate on

25
00:01:22,040 --> 00:01:25,599
a very thin profit margin. The numbers in revenue do

26
00:01:25,799 --> 00:01:28,920
not come across as being huge, but it's because of

27
00:01:29,239 --> 00:01:33,239
huge sales volumes. The average net profit margin for a

28
00:01:33,319 --> 00:01:36,920
neighborhood grocery store is maybe one to three percent. For

29
00:01:37,040 --> 00:01:40,280
every one hundred dollars that consumers spend, the grocery store

30
00:01:40,319 --> 00:01:43,040
could earn one to three dollars. You know, there's rent

31
00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:46,000
to pay, labor, energy, and every day logistics. They all

32
00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:49,719
cut into the profit the store makes. Stores that pull

33
00:01:49,760 --> 00:01:52,879
in five hundred thousand to one million dollars weekly earn

34
00:01:52,959 --> 00:01:56,319
about five to thirty thousand dollars. So who's making the

35
00:01:56,400 --> 00:02:00,359
most money, Well, it's Walmart, Kroger, Costco. They all rely

36
00:02:00,519 --> 00:02:04,359
on huge volumes of efficiency. Making the most money in

37
00:02:04,359 --> 00:02:08,400
a grocery store are prepared foods and bakery, in house

38
00:02:08,439 --> 00:02:11,080
deli or coffee station, and stores that have their own

39
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:16,080
private brands. And although low margin items barely make any money,

40
00:02:16,240 --> 00:02:18,919
they're needed to attract consumers to come into the store.

41
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:23,759
We're talking eggs, water, milk, and bread. When those babies

42
00:02:23,800 --> 00:02:28,919
are looking cheap, that store is looking very attractive. Hey,

43
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,240
coming up next. My father used to tell us all

44
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,680
the time, do you have a third leg? Because if

45
00:02:35,719 --> 00:02:39,520
you do, we've got a problem. What exactly was he

46
00:02:39,639 --> 00:02:44,520
talking about? Hey, welcome back to the daily mess. My

47
00:02:44,599 --> 00:02:48,120
father used to endlessly accuse his sons of having a

48
00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,280
third leg. I was known for eating a lot of food,

49
00:02:52,439 --> 00:02:56,120
almost never feeling like I'm full? Is that because I

50
00:02:56,159 --> 00:02:59,120
grew up in a very cold state of Montana and

51
00:02:59,199 --> 00:03:02,840
during the fall months in Carolina, the temperatures are actually

52
00:03:02,879 --> 00:03:06,719
described as being cold to the bone. When the temp

53
00:03:06,840 --> 00:03:11,120
drops outside, humans tend to eat more. It's tossed into

54
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:15,319
a basket called body temperature regulation. The body needs energy

55
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,719
to create that heat, which increases our appetite. The colder

56
00:03:19,759 --> 00:03:23,080
months also trigger us to eat heavier, warmer foods, such

57
00:03:23,159 --> 00:03:26,960
as soups, stews, and casseroles, which are high in calories

58
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,560
and carbs. You want these foods to include serotonin so

59
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:33,439
it can help you out. With less sunlight in the day,

60
00:03:34,319 --> 00:03:37,479
the average person gains one to five pounds during the

61
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:42,000
colder months. It usually arrives in smaller daily doses, which

62
00:03:42,039 --> 00:03:44,360
is the reason why when it comes to dieting, you

63
00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,039
need to pay attention to everything that you're cramming into

64
00:03:48,039 --> 00:03:52,800
that gut. Those little things are stealing from your waistline

65
00:03:52,800 --> 00:03:57,000
that's left in the pants. Pay close attention to everything

66
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:01,639
that you're eating. It can get out of control eye marrow,

67
00:04:01,960 --> 00:04:03,400
and that's the daily mess.
