Consumers Turning to Budget-Friendly Sausage Amid Rising Grocery Prices, Survey Finds

Consumers are increasingly turning to sausage as a budget-friendly protein option, reflecting a broader trend of spending cuts amid high prices, according to a recent survey. The report highlights "modest growth" in the dinner sausage category, with manufacturers noting that this category typically expands when the economy weakens. Sausage sales tend to increase during economic downturns as consumers opt for it as a cost-effective protein alternative to higher-priced options. Rising grocery prices burden consumers, contributing to widespread dissatisfaction with the national economy.
