Albertsons - as an inflation hedge?

Several of my golf buddies are spun up over inflation worries. They point to the price of OSB (engineered wood similar to particle board) and other building materials.

I've opened a position in ACI with a long-term time horizon, and as a play on Food Price Inflation.

Might just be a good trade idea (minimum 3 - 6 months) that pays a dividend.

Note: couldn't bring myself to by Kroger for personal reasons, and would have preferred Publix if it was available.
