Do you go into the dollar store for like 10 things and the cashier says $78 🫢😡

@iamonfire696 Did it increase from Covid there too?

@MellyMel22 it’s increased because of inflation

@iamonfire696 when the price of oil goes up it causes inflation and we see it in the stores.

@cherokeepatti yes, it sucks.

The big CEO, Galen Weston of Loblaws here in Canada announced there would be a price freeze on No Name products until January 31, 2023. They typically freeze product prices at this time of the year and I am sure he will Jack them up before freezing them November 1st.

Grocery chain profits are sky rocketing and CEO’s are rolling in the money while people struggle to feed themselves. Gotta love greedy corporations.

@iamonfire696 Walmart jacks up prices in October and then has rollbacks starting about a month after Christmas but sometimes longer. They want to make sure they keep the prices up till people spend their gift cards. They say to counteract shoplifting losses but I think greed is a factor. They will put holiday foods, holiday candy, decorations and that type of on clearance sometime after New Years. Orthodox Christians don’t celebrate till around that time anyway so they buy it then. So people are going to shop in alternative places if they keep doing it. Or buy clearance and save those things for Christmas especially stocking stuffers and clothing items.

@cherokeepatti the Rich get richer and the poor get poorer
