Don’t talk about this. There are people on this board who think prices are normal.

My favorite is when companies do both at the same time.

You shrink the size and increase the price at the same time.

Thanks…Brandon

I think the daily articles propping up the current economic policies as "winning" are almost as bad.

This made me chuckle.

Well he and merry band of cohorts in DC and the Fed have destabilized the economy to the point where a combination of inflation, wage growth, and higher interest rates are making it harder to do business without raising prices in the consumer.

I rarely buy chip products anymore. Even the 2 for 1 isn’t worth it. I’d rather they just raise the price then shrink it, at least you are getting the product. I’m super picky these days and ask myself is it really worth it or do I need it vs just want. It cut down my junk buying. Prices are insane on everything.
