Although inflation remains near its highest point in over 40 years, one grocery-store staple has maintained its 99-cent price tag: AriZona Iced Tea. "For as long as we can, we're going to hold our price," he says. One way the family-owned company is able to maintain its low price point is by not trying to duplicate how other larger beverage companies operate.

The company focuses on increasing its sales volume to avoid passing on a price hike to consumers, Vultaggio says.
