    ORLANDO, Fla. – Central Floridians are still battling high prices when making their weekly grocery run.

    We asked John Williams, who was out picking up his groceries on Sunday, to tell us how he feels about the economy right now.

    “It’s not good, to be honest with you,” Williams said. “Everything is kind of tight.”

    Williams often searches for essentials like meat, dairy, and bread during his shopping trips. However, he finds that he can’t spend as much as he did in the past due to the hefty price tags.

    “I’m eating less, I’m doing a lot of leftovers and I’m just kind of stretching things, you know, make ends meet,” Williams said.

    It’s possible the latest tariffs on steel and aluminum could impact grocery prices as well.

    On Friday, President Donald Trump announced 50% tariffs on foreign steel and aluminum.

    The Associated Press suggests that we might notice price hikes on goods such as canned fruits and vegetables, nuts, beer, and dog food, primarily because of packaging costs.

    Carnessia Patton is a college student and said she’s on a tight budget.

    “Sometimes I’m limited and I go in Walmart with a $50 budget and I’m only walking out with five or six things,” Patton said.

    According to CBS News’ price tracker, the overall food expenses stand at nearly 117% of their January 2022 levels. This means a $100 grocery bill back then now amounts to approximately $116.56 as of this April.

    Patton said she has noticed the price differences.

    “Things have jumped up so high. Like, I was just in Walmart and orange juice is $5, $6 now, when it used to be $3, $2,” Patton said.

    She said she feels like the economy is going downhill.

    “Everything is skyrocketing with rent prices, even gas, eggs, things like that, we’re very limited on certain things,” Patton said.
