Smaller amounts and same price. That’s what I’m seeing right now over the past year. Tillimook ice cream cut about 1 1/2 inch off the top of the container and Cherrios about 2 1/2 ounces off the weight.

They can’t keep doing that. When the hamburger is 2” wide, you’ll know there’s something wrong.

The Federal Reserve has an excellent record of coming up with solutions for a current crisis which inevitably trigger a future crisis.

“Consumer companies across the board have gotten very savvy about how to implement price increases without just slapping on five to 10% price increases,” Montag said in an interview.

Some of those methods include using new packaging, selling smaller-size packs for the same price ...

In the not too distant future, candy bars are going to shrink down to a singularity, then wink out of existence.

Telescopes, lens and gear are up 10 to 15% over 2019 prices. Computer gear as well.

Been buying in bulk ever since November. Not so much expecting Armageddon as to beat the price increases.

Yesterday, our fav/ local chain grocery store was out of all liquid laundry detergents and basically any big size laundry detergent and home cleaning products. They had a sale on most of these products with the pr leaks about shortages in late May/early June.

Canned and ready to eat veggies, meats and fish were going out faster than they could be restocked.

Cookies with a long dating were being cleared out and big bottles of good wine. Of course paper products were being bought as fast as they were restocked.

Weird items like frozen tater tots and Klondike bars were sold out. Butter and whipped cream were basically gone.

Looks like Coke will need to get more Chinese slave labor to hold down costs.

The supply chain is very messed up.

I have been telling people if you know what you want for Christmas gifts, buy them now.

Covid blew it out of the water.

We’re boycotting like 15 different companies/products, so I think we’re actually saving money. And I am one of those people who don’t mind one bit doing without to send the message.
