A Clinton grocery store owner is trying to plan as much as possible so he can keep rising food prices down at his store.

Dave Jackson owns the Clinton Save A Lot and indicates he is using his old store space off Center Street in Clinton to store food he is purchasing while some prices remain low and trying to anticipate what may be short on supply down the road.

According to Jackson, as much as he's trying to buffer the sharp spike in prices, he indicates there are just things that have to be passed along to the consumer. 

Jackson predicts you might see some companies begin to back off the price increases but costs across the board are going up. While he admits he isn't an economist, he bases his opinions on his experience.

Jackson says there are some items in his store he isn't raising prices on even though they are going up and there are other items he's making only pennies from selling. 

He adds he is going to try to be better about keeping his social media page updated on the happenings with inflation in his store. You can find the Clinton Save A Lot on Facebook.
