Not sure how else to title. So basically I currently shop in various stores for work here in a major city in the Northeast US and am seeing huge price increases when stores are re-stocking as well as going through their weekly price cycles for the last 2 weeks.
These batteries are just one example from this morning with a $20 difference, given one being on sale:
I've noticed a huge price jumps and spreads similarly in various office supplies, paper/paper products, cables and flash storage (no surprise), aluminum foil (doubled in some stores it seems), water bottles, gloves, fruit, and other things.
I haven't saw much talk on it other than basic inflation 3.8% that came out earlier today in the news. Nothing on reddit either from a basic search there so wanted to start a thread here to see if anyone else has noticed the differences. I know most people dont shop 3-4x a day so aren't as hyper aware but might see something they may want to share with the group. I've been sharing them and grabbing stuff for personal if I do spot them while out grabbing things for work so I'm pretty stocked up on what I feel might not come back down in those updated priced stores. Most the talk seems to just be about gas which I get is the most immediate expense for majority of Americans but products seem to be jumping drastically.
TLDR: Prices go up, big spread between stores, do you notice?
Bar S? I got those once when they were $0.60 a pack. I will never get Bar S hotdogs again. I am pretty sure the S stands for Shit.
Found them, and they do in fact, taste like bar shit.
Gotta respect someone who hears "this was the worst thing I ever ate" and thinks "Well I gotta see for myself if they really are that bad." 🤣
