If you're paying a little bit more for that favorite drink or snack at the grocery store, a Clinton grocery store owner says you can thank inflation.

Clinton Save A Lot Owner Dave Jackson on the WHOW Morning Show Thursday told Regional Radio News the cost of almost everything is going up and it's thanks to a lot of motivating factors.

According to Jackson costs are going up almost across the board. He points to labor costs going up thanks to Illinois' minimum wage increases, the costs of fuel, and the lack of people working as all factors in this spike in prices.

Jackson Thursday said he could sugarcoat the situation but he wanted to be upfront with his customers and make everyone aware of what is happening.
