Obviously prices are higher. Have you noticed, though, that sizes are shrinking?
I love chocolate, paricularly Dove milk chocolate. A bag of it was $5.87! AND, when I pulled it off the shelf the bag was puffed up with air, and there were 10 pieces inside. I remember beingable to buy a bag for $3.50 and there were 26 pieces in it.
I put it back. I just couldn't do it.
Now, chocolate is a dumb example, I realize. The same thing is happening to everything. Here's the good news: smaller packages means you can store them more easily as you stock up before prices go hyper-crazy. And, another positive thing: it might be a good time to break some bad habits (such as not buying the chocolate, for me).
One last thought: the smaller volumes is a sneaky tactic, and many people will not understand the double-whammy and will go through their grocery money way too fast. Credit card debt will spike, but so will crime. Keep extra vigilant.
Chocolate is one of the healthiest foods on the planet. As is coffee. It's just that people mix them with terrible things like refined sugar and pasteurized milk. Both of which are just empty calories due to having all their nutrients stripped.
Prices are indeed higher but that is not due to supply issues, but rather, retard issues.
The average person did this by complying. They shut down the processing and manufacturing plants causing us to rely more and more on trade deficits while simultaneously printing more money.
The above is the reason why you pay more.
No it doesn't lol.
"Simultaneously printing money"---> means Fed already printing money ruining purchasing power prior to covid.
"Rely more and more on trade deficits" --> means it was already happening. It increased.
"printing" --> fiat currency
Cabal is included already at this point lol
All good, pepe fren. I hear ya.
