Supermarkets continue to gouge customers

My favourite Scotch Finger biscuits - up 30%
Loaf of bread - up 10%
Milk - up 11%
Tomato sauce - up 8%
Meat up 10%

Will these prices come down?

Oh yeah. What is interesting though is some products that I buy - some have almost doubled in price yet some remain untouched.
Overall though my monthly grocery bill has gone up at least 25% even though my diet is mostly unchanged.
I do keep records of what I spend so I know I am not just imagining things like I usually do.

@Punches My usual shop was about $25 each time.
Now it averages $43

@Gusman I mean one tries to cut back, buy generic, stock up when on sale, but only so much can be done.

The real reason inflation even exists is to devalue whatever savings people have.
I never even realized that until I was in a position where I could actually have a savings account.

@Punches At least loans are devalued as well huhuhu
