Obvious there are going to increase prices and naturally blame it on inflation, being the cause. Now during the Pandemic era, it now pretty scarce to find a box, and if you do, it will cost you $4.63, and mind you this is for the unsalted ones, which was always at least .50 cents cheaper than the regular ones. Of course, now they blame the Pandemic. Anyone want to bet once the Pandemic stage passes, those prices would not come back pre- Pandemic prices. In this period when people are losing jobs, can't pay their rents, buy food and etc. these greedy, selfish companies have to rise prices? Who could afford to? Did it ever occur to them if they lowered prices instead of raising them, more people would buy them cause even through struggling times, they may be able to afford them. By raising the prices, they would lose their customers, like me. The government puts the screws to Landlords, restaurants and the like, why don't they go after these companies that are gauging us https://www.businessinsider.com/us-economy-rebound-goods-commodities-services-more-expensive-inflation-stimulus-2021-2 |
