The price of food has jumped by 25% since the start of the pandemic — even more if you factor in the cost of a quick trip to the store, which takes into consideration the price of fuel. Now, a new study says there are some major ramifications. Intuit Credit Karma says that more than one-quarter of the people it surveyed said they have skipped meals or sacrificed other spending due to rising costs. According to the survey, 28% said they are putting off paying for necessities, such as rent or other bills, to afford groceries — while 27% say they are occasionally skipping meals.
