Dairy Delivers Nutrition & Value For Budgeting Shoppers

Shoppers are quickly returning to money-saving measures at the grocery store, courtesy of a 40-year high in inflation. As shoppers seek value, independent retailers have an opportunity to highlight how to maximize the grocery budget with nutritious offerings that pack a punch. 

Dairy is a perfect example. "For many people, it is the easiest way to get the calcium, vitamin D, and protein they need to keep their heart, muscles, and bones healthy and functioning properly,” says Vasanti Malik, nutrition research scientist with the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

In fact, dairy sales were up in March 2022, suggesting that shoppers are holding steady with core dairy items: milk, natural cheese, and yogurt. “The four March weeks generated nearly $5 billion in dairy sales, an increase of +7.1%,” says Jessica Ives, Professional Development Coordinator with the International Dairy Deli Bakery Association (IDDBA). “Also encouraging is the consistency of the weekly sales levels, all around $1.2 billion, which means demand is holding strong—certainly when compared to pre-pandemic levels.”
