Sales of Hamburger Helper, the ’70s-era pantry staple that contains pasta and seasoning to combine with ground beef, are up 14.5% through August of this year. Rice, tuna, salmon, sardines, beans, and boxed mac and cheese sales are all higher. I think this more likely due to grocery inflation and job market outlook than a prelude to a zombie apocalypse. What else could be causing this trend?
