Private Labels

If you’re looking for a way to save some money on groceries in 2025, you’ll be happy to hear that private store labels are all the rage, with many people turning their backs on national brands and choosing them instead.

Caesar Dressing

Adding Caesar dressing to your salad is nothing new, but Kroger predicts we’ll start using it in everything from pizza and pasta next year, in addition to mixing it up with miso, tahini, and black garlic.

Briny Flavors

Kroger’s customers can’t get enough of acidic, briny, and fermented foods, such as olives, pickles, sauerkraut, and kimchi.

Plant-Based Protein

The way we consume protein will change in 2025, with more people making a shift to plant-based foods rich in protein, such as beans, lentils, and hemp seeds.
