What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

The U.S. Labor Department reported that inflation increased from 3.4% in August to 3.7% in September. Amid rising prices, Bill McCormick created Dishcount, a free website that uses AI to collect grocery store deals and generate recipes based on discounted ingredients. McCormick noted that his family's weekly grocery budget increased from about $100 to $130 or $150 over the past five years.
