Even a Mystery Shopping coach can’t believe how expensive groceries are

A mystery shopping expert has revealed her disbelief at how expensive groceries have become after a recent visit to her local store.

Nadia coaches people on how to make money with mystery shopping – a method used by marketing research firms and organizations that want to assess their sales, service and work performance compared to competitors.

The coach, who comes by @mysteryshoppingacademy on TikTok, uploaded a video with the caption: ‘Is anyone else giving up on eating healthy because of grocery prices?’

In the video, she complained that she had just spent $6 on a bag of grapes. “This is crazy,” she said. “Anyone else here feel like they’re going broke trying to eat healthy?”

‘If you’re like me and have sticker shock at the supermarket and are trying to find a way to still eat grapes and not give them up, let’s connect – let’s talk and see if mystery shopping can be a solution . great side job for you.’

Rising prices at grocery stores and beyond have continued to shock American consumers in recent years – with food costs a steep increase of 2.2 percent in just 12 months, from April 2023 to April 2024.
