Although inflation is at its lowest point in more than two years, many Northeast Ohioans say they’re still struggling to put food on the table.
Saturday, Willow Praise Church in Willowick gave out 6 tons of produce during its monthly distribution. Families and individuals from around the area lined up early to receive fresh fruit and vegetables.
“[I’ve been] eating less, cutting back on medication. I’ll take some every other day so it can stretch out for another month, and then I’ll be able to buy a little something more to eat,” Dawson said. “I was getting about $223, something like that. And then it dropped back down to $23,” Dawson explained about the decrease in assistance.
Dropping fuel prices have largely driven the lower inflation rate. Consumers are paying 26.5% less at the pump than record high costs of a year ago. Natural gas is about 18% cheaper. However, he cautioned global events can still influence U.S. consumer goods and services. He said potential worker strikes, the war in Ukraine and extreme weather could all affect the supply chain and U.S. prices.
