UK supermarket profits down as more people are using GLP's

[Johnny D]

I'm guessing the stats are the same in North-America. Maybe even more so??
People are simply eating and snacking less, which causes food profits to drop significantly.
Will get worse as well as more and more people start using GLP's.

£418 decline in spend per household when compared to non-user households.
That's a lot more than I thought it would be. I wonder if this includes alcohol/cigs as well. I'm glad more people are discovering this, becoming healthier, and saving money along the way.

Sales of crisps and chocolates are the worst hit, though sales of oral health products are up due to side-effects of the jabs, such as bad breath.
Wasn't aware that bad breath was a common side effect... Interesting that they did not mention increase in sales of laxatives.

The world is full of winners and losers.

I have completely lost my desire for potato chips since I started GLP.
I used to eat chips by the bucketloads.

Thankfully my desire for alcohol is still intact 🥂

I would argue we are eating a healthy amount instead of what the food industry would like to sell us 😊

Smaller portions on menus.....noooooo
I get three meals when I order one dish, I love the left overs.....

It does for some people. And I feel sorry for them 😀

I've actually had to increase my grocery budget because of inflation, even though I'm eating less. The only products in my day to day life that cost less than they did a year ago are GLP1s.
