Food Chains Freeze Prices to Tackle Inflation
Three supermarket chains move to curb rising costs with price freezes. Grand Union and Winn-Dixie cap current prices for 30 days and through April respectively, while Safeway cuts beef prices across 246 stores. The Agriculture Department notes a 20 cent per hundredweight drop in beef prices for the month ending March 15, with Safeway acting to ease Easter weekend costs. Government officials say declines in wholesale beef, not pressure, drive the anticipated retail drops. Winn-Dixie also states its broader price freeze supports federal inflation efforts.
