Some retailers are already using electronic shelf labels or tags, and another third is planning to do so. That makes it a lot easier to change prices on the fly.

According to the retail research firm IRI, 90% of consumers surveyed said they’ve noticed higher prices at the grocery store over the last month, and 75% said they’ve made one or more changes in their grocery shopping habits as a result. That’s a big increase from the 64% who had made some spending changes just a month earlier.
