No longer a conspiracy theory Instacart has been caught using Dynamic Pricing They are accessing personal data of users and then adjusting prices based on that data. If someone can afford to pay more for items, the prices increase “You may have heard of dynamic pricing. Well now Instacart is accused of using this controversial practice to charge consumers wildly inconsistent prices on the same products. — This is infuriating. Food delivery service Instacart is being accused of charging different prices to different customers on the same grocery items without them knowing. Groundwork, it's a consumer advocacy group, Instacart says Instacart's pricing algorithm could lead to shoppers paying an extra $1,200 on groceries annually. Nearly three-quarters of grocery items it surveyed were sold at different price points. Instacart said the price differences were tests conducted by some retailers to learn what matters most to consumers. It denied using shoppers' personal information to fuel dynamic or customized pricing.”

HUGE ‼️ After public pushback Instacart ends dynamic pricing! We are all making a difference! “Instacart is pulling the plug on AI setting different prices for different customers — Effective immediately, Instacart is ending all item price tests on our platform” “The fact that they caved so quickly says to me that they know that they were doing something wrong.” “Think Tank Groundwork Collaborative found that Instacart's algorithmic pricing charged various prices for the same item from the same store. The prices varied by 7% on average, depending on the shopper, which could cost a family of four $4, $1,200 more per year. One example, according to the report, a dozen eggs added to virtual carts at the same time from one Washington, D.C. grocery store rang up at five different prices, ranging from $3.99 to $4.79.” “Instacart insists that this price testing was not dynamic pricing (which is a lie, it was proven to be dynamic pricing) — the FTC is now probing Instacart over these controversial practices.”

Are you still using Instacart? They’re building & buying AI tech (like Eversight) to run hidden backdoor price tests—putting shoppers in different “buckets” to figure out the absolute highest price you’re willing to pay for the same groceries. They claim prices come from grocery stores, but when asked (e.g., Target), stores say they don’t even partner with Instacart—they just use public prices + Instacart adds fees after buying rival Shipt for hundreds of millions. Instacart’s experiments led to identical items costing up to 23% more for some users, costing families hundreds extra yearly. At what point is convenience no longer worth the hidden gouging? Time to rethink the app? #Instacart #GroceryPrices #ConsumerRipoff

No longer a ‘conspiracy theory’ Online retailers are accessing your data and then adjusting prices for items based on that data Airlines are being caught adjusting prices based on data too “This holiday season, you and your neighbor could be shopping for the exact same item and pay different prices — surveillance pricing is and how your personal data plays a role. You may be shopping for gifts from the comfort of your couch, but stores can still see who you are. Most of these companies are charging you a different price based on some data they have about you. It could be your location, it could be your proximity to the store, it could be your shopping history, knowing that you bought a product previously and are willing pay for it again.” “Consumer watchdog president Jamie Court says surveillance pricing is nearly impossible to avoid — Court says his organization has evidence all the major retailers use personal algorithms to nudge a price up or down, targeting data from your Amazon cart, Uber rides, or even the brand of laptop you're using to shop” “For those traveling for the holidays. Airlines will charge you a different price depending upon how many times you go to the website. “Currently, there is no federal regulation for companies that use surveillance pricing.

🚨 THEY’RE PINGING YOUR PHONE TO CHANGE PRICES IN REAL TIME Major retailers are quietly testing AI-driven dynamic pricing with tech that reads your location, data, and proximity to the store before deciding what you pay. Every ping from your phone ... GPS, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, app activity, all of it feeds an algorithm that decides your “value.” The closer you get, the higher it goes. They call it personalized pricing. You’d call it being tracked and charged for who the system thinks you are. Same item. Different people. Different prices. So when your total jumps the second you walk in - is that inflation, or surveillance disguised as a sale?

Michigan Senator Mallory McMorrow reveals companies are using dynamic algorithmic pricing to charge Americans more based on your data She says this is even being used to increase rents - A $240 flight to Florida increased to $423 because you looked twice - Uber pricing doubled because phone battery was below 20% “Usually it's about 18 bucks, but oh, the app knows that your phone battery is low, so it's double the price. Companies are using algorithmic pricing tools to study your personal data and charge you exactly what they think you'll pay. This is called surveillance pricing, and it means that companies can charge you completely different prices for the exact same thing, and it's not just happening to consumers. Some companies are now using similar algorithms to track workers and decide their wages, hours, and schedules, even their locations — My plan bans companies from setting personalized prices based on your data — It protects all workers, including gig workers and contractors from algorithmic wage discrimination, and it cracks down on companies using these systems to coordinate things like higher rents and insurance premiums, because the economy shouldn't be a rigged game.”

I just went down this rabbit hole, and it's so fascinating. So apparently, airlines have been selling your data to competitors for years. Strange right? I know, hear me out... It's called dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing is when a company charges you a price calculated specifically for you, based on what they know about you, rather than a fixed price everyone sees. Nobody called it surveillance. The mainstream take on dynamic pricing is that it's sinister and new. Corporations secretly watching, jacking up prices, exploiting desperation. That anger is mostly right. Dynamic pricing isn't a bug that crept into capitalism. It's the entire architecture of how information asymmetry becomes profit. Airlines have always charged different people different prices for the same seat. Hotels. Insurance companies. Actuarial profiling predates the internet. What changed isn't the behavior. It's the resolution. Your battery at 8% telling Uber you're stranded is a higher-resolution version of the taxi driver who saw you running in the rain and didn't turn the meter off. The new part is the precision. They know you searched the same flight six times. They know you're on a Mac. They know your zip code and how long you've been sitting on the page. Old dynamic pricing responded to demand. Surveillance pricing responds to you. The counterargument from the market side is real. Personalization can mean discounts. But companies optimizing for revenue will use behavioral data to find the ceiling, not the floor. What are your thoughts? Is this fair or pure greed from big corp? That's a wrap. Li is a gallery for the greatest minds in economics, psychology, and history. Follow if that interests you. We are ONE genius away. -- P.S. I'm building a course on how the world actually works. Not the surface story, but the incentive layer underneath it. Who funds what. Who benefits from what you believe? Why the official explanation is rarely the complete one. Comment "yes" if you're interested in something like this. Waitlist opens soon.

American Grocery Stores are spying on you Take Kroger for example, “They have like alternative profit divisions that are solely focused on monetizing our personal information” 🚨 New Microsoft powered facial recognition technology is being implemented “Monetizing all the customer data they've actually taken in. And wildly enough, they've made more than a billion from this. A grocery store made a billion dollars from monetizing your information. Like this is a store that profits like three and a half billion a year. And one third of that comes from monetizing our information” “Another thing I learned was like, you know those little digital price things. Like instead of having the paper one, they got a digital one. Did you know that's there? So they can like change the prices in real time based upon the traffic pat patterns in the store. Like they will change it in real time if more people are in the store. — Even wilder, Kroger has this thing called an edge shelf which is developed with Microsoft, which will actually facially recognize you, determine your like age and gender and things like that, and then adjust prices based upon what the AI thinks you'd be willing to pay for. Something like that's f*cking nuts. Like I expected to see this type of technology in like CIA facilities or embassies, but in a grocery store.”

“Surge Pricing” in American grocery stores has arrived Kroger partnered with Microsoft to introduce AI-powered technologies for personalized pricing “Kroger just rolled out surge pricing using facial recognition technology: - Determine the maximum price of goods customers are willing to pay - Kroger has the ability to change the prices of their products depending on the facial image of the person buying them - Depending on the image of the person buying the product, they can access our information and dictate that price - Can also use our image to determine how often we buy certain products and increase the price of that product - Dynamic pricing in grocery stores could resemble the airline industry's ticket pricing strategies “This could lead to discriminatory practices using AI as a scapegoat to charge people of different races, different socioeconomic status, different family sizes, and different dietary restrictions different prices for the same products that they are buying” (Kroger, the largest grocery chain in the U.S., denied claims that ESLs would be used for surge pricing, insisting its pricing strategy aims to lower costs for consumers. "To be clear, Kroger does not and has never engaged in 'surge pricing.' Any test of electronic shelf tags is designed to lower prices for more customers where it matters most”) … Yeah right

Dr Daniel Pompa breaks down what’s actually being sprayed on vegetables in American grocery stores “Are your fruits and vegetables being sprayed what looks like innocent water? Maybe not. Many grocery stores now are putting a chemical into that spray on our fruits and vegetables. We need to know. It's called sodium hypochloride. You know what it is? It's bleach. Oh, yeah. There's warnings about this. Chemstar is the company, and Produce Max is the product. Ask your grocery store, do you use Produce Max sprayed on our fruits and vegetables? If they do, tell them you are not coming here anymore. Remember, we absolutely vote with our purchases. So we need grocery stores to stop using Produce Max immediately. It's this stuff is toxic and you know what?vWe're breathing it in. They even have warnings saying, don't breathe it. I just breathe some. So we need to stay away from the spray, but not all grocery stores do it. I know some of the sprouts do. Some of the Safeways do. Ask your grocery store.”

This woman shares her experience with Walmart’s digital price tags and how they appear to be using something called dynamic pricing. Dynamic pricing is when companies adjust prices in real time based on demand or other factors. She found a pair of shoes marked down to just $3 on clearance. When she scanned the tag in the shoe aisle, it showed $3. But by the time she reached the register, the same shoes scanned for nearly $19. When she went back with a manager to check, the price seemed to change depending on where she was standing in the store. It’s raising some questions about how transparent this kind of pricing really is — especially for people trying to stick to a budget. Have you ever had a price change on you while shopping, either in-store or online?

FTC documents show Pepsi is price fixing The FTC looked at internal emails with Pepsi and Walmart, they found they act as one company and Pepsi even takes action against grocery stores and other chains like Target if they price Pepsi as cheaply as Walmart does “The FTC looked at a bunch of internal Pepsi emails and communications. The executives at Pepsi would talk about Walmart's prices as our prices. As if this is, this is all one big company — Big rivals like Target, small mom and pop shops, regional chains, everywhere it could keep an eye on it, it did. And where it found that Pepsi prices in those other stores were getting low enough to really compete with Walmart, with all of the discounts and all of the other things that it was giving Walmart, it took action against those other stores. What does that look like? It reduced their deals, it reduced the discounts they were giving these other retailers. It even increased their wholesale prices, started to kind of ratchet it up more and more every year so that the price of Pepsi products at every other store that wasn't a Walmart were artificially higher for the consumer than they would have been if there was actual competition between Walmart and these stores. These stores wanted to push the prices down, but Pepsi simply wouldn't let them by charging them more” This is price fixing and illegal

Walmart just cut prices on thousands of items, including Coke and Pepsi. That is not supposed to happen if the inflation story were true. The whole narrative rested on one assumption: companies have pricing power because consumers have income to absorb higher costs. Walmart cutting prices says the opposite. And when the largest retailer in America moves, suppliers, competitors, grocery chains, discounters all get dragged into the same price war. There are two kinds of disinflation. One comes from supply improving and productivity rising, consumers win without any pain. The other comes from demand being too weak to support higher prices, so companies are forced to cut. This is the second kind. Meanwhile the TIPS market has been pricing exactly this for over a year, through the tariff scare, through the energy shock, breakevens never bought the inflation spiral story. Now they have crashed even further. The Fed and mainstream economists are still staring at headline payroll numbers, calling the labor market resilient. The market pricing real money is telling a very different story.

‼️🚨The Liberals keep talking about inflation rates. But when was the last time you paid for "inflation" at the grocery store? You don't. You pay prices. After years of Liberal inflationary policies, Canadians aren't feeling relief, they're still paying more every time they shop. Just because inflation has slowed doesn't mean grocery prices have gone back down. They haven't. So here's my question: Would you feel any better if, after seeing your grocery bill, the cashier told you, "Don't worry, Canada is within the Bank of Canada's target inflation rate"? I don’t think so. With our Conservative team, we will continue fighting for what matters most to Canadian families: affordability. That means lowering taxes on how food is grown, packaged and transported, increasing competition in grocery stores to discipline profits and removing unnecessary regulatory burdens on small and medium-sized food processors and grocery outlets. #cdnpoli

According to one customer, people are damaging the digital pricing labels at his grocery store. Despite outcry from consumers across the country, multiple giant supermarket chains are implementing digital price labels and dynamic pricing strategies where the cost of items fluctuate frequently based on multiple factors. Walmart, the country's largest grocer, hopes to have digital price labels at 2,300 U.S. stores by 2026. Kroger is expanding the use of digital labels this year after testing them at 20 stores. Whole Foods is testing the labels in nearly 50 stores. Customers worry these digital labels will let companies raise prices at a moment's notice, making greater profits off essential items at the grocery store.

🚨 BREAKING: President Trump just went full TAKEDOWN MODE on the Democrats constantly screaming "affordability" 🔥 "They look at you and say...AFFORDABILITY! They don't say anything else." "'It's all about affordability!' They NEVER talk about the specifics. Everything was through the roof [with them!] Eggs were 4 times higher, we got the prices down!" "'This election is about affordability.' Then they go to the next subject. IT'S A CON JOB! They caused the highest prices and worst inflation IN HISTORY!" "They look at you and say AFFORDABILITY! But nothing else." "No. They had the WORST inflation. HIGHEST prices. And now, they're coming down." "They're GREAT con people. It's like the 'Inflation Reduction Act...' then they admitted it had NOTHING to do with inflation!"

"'This election is about affordability.' Then they go to the next subject. IT'S A CON JOB! They caused the highest prices and worst inflation IN HISTORY!" "They look at you and say AFFORDABILITY! But nothing else." "No. They had the WORST inflation. HIGHEST prices. And now, they're coming down." "They're GREAT con people. It's like the 'Inflation Reduction Act...' then they admitted it had NOTHING to do with inflation!"

Friedberg Predicts NYC’s Socialist Grocery Stores Will Be Wildly Popular and a DSA Marketing Tool for 2028 david friedberg: “I think that people have it wrong. I think these grocery stores are going to be wildly popular. I think that everyone's being a little bit too long-sighted in their view on what's going to happen with these grocery stores, with the basic obvious economic arithmetic that someone has to pay for this, and who's going to pay for it, and blah, blah, blah. I don't think it really matters because over the near term, what the cheap grocery stores do is create an incredible success story for socialism that will help to support and fuel the socialist wave in urban centers around this country. Think about the social network effect of the grocery store. So there's a couple of them, and then people start traveling from far away to the cheap grocery store because it has this discount. Again, this'll play out over the next 24 months, going into the 2028 election cycle, and everyone's like, ‘This is so wildly popular. People are coming in from all over the place to go to these grocery stores.’ They're not checking IDs, because IDs are racist, and you can't check IDs to vote, so we shouldn't be able to check IDs for grocery stores. So people will come in from all over the place to use these grocery stores. The demand will go up. And then they'll start to open more and more grocery stores like this. And let's say each one loses $10 million/year and they get to 10 or 20 of these. That's $200 million of losses/year on the grocery store chain. But it creates this extraordinary social movement for more of these grocery stores supporting the DSA and so on. $200 million/year on a $125 billion/year budget for the city of New York is nothing. It's less than a quarter of a percent of the city's budget. That is so cheap to market the DSA platform, and to get the DSA platform to become a social marketing element that drives the next wave here. So again, I do think that these grocery stores, believe it or not, they sound silly, they sound small, but I predict that they will be deemed a point of success, and they will end up being a big part of the fuel for the DSA going into 2028.”

🚨 American was buying food on Uber Eats and the app says “This price was set by an algorithm using your personal data” A law in New York now requires companies to disclose Dynamic Pricing. Uber Eats is using algorithms to charge people more based on their data “Charging someone more or less for food based on their data is absolutely sick. Like, I am so appalled that this is where we are as a society.” New York’s Algorithmic Pricing Disclosure Act, a first-of-its-kind consumer protection law that took effect on November 10, 2025. This law mandates that any business operating in New York (including apps like Uber Eats) must prominently notify users when prices for goods or services are dynamically adjusted using algorithms that incorporate personal data specific to the consumer Personalized algorithmic pricing (also called surveillance pricing), is where algorithms analyze individual user data to tailor prices
