I just can't figure out the stimulus for these sudden price increases.

Supply and demand

I recently sunk a good chunk of change into a home gym. Dumbbells are never particularly cheap, but they've gone up 50% or more in some cases on Amazon in the last two months. They are also perpetually out of stock.

I have noticed the new internet economy on larger ticket items since sales tax has been applied for most online vendors.

Everyone’s price seems to be the same for large ticket items.

Looking for a truck toolbox and same price across all vendors.

you gotta call one of the smaller truck supply companies that's not located in your state. get better price + no tax.

Yep. Nothing is on sale at the grocery stores right now. I've found that a lot of online retailers are running big sales atm. Probably trying to get people to spend their stimulus checks.
