the faltering of the economys in europe, asia and the rest of the world will most likely lead to lower commoditie prices. Many commodities like oil corn wheat were at or near all time highs recently, I dont know if this will result in lower grocery prices but I believe commodities have peaked and pulled back for the near future.
