I have always bought the Great Value storebrand steak sauce at Walmart. Acceptable alternative to pricy A-1 or Heinz 57.
Wss .99 cents forever. Now $2.50 !!!
That’s almost a 153% increase!
The price is now almost 253% of what you originally paid; 100% (of original price) would still be .99
(I may not be awake yet.... LOL)
Yesterday at our local market I went to pick up a six pack of my fav soda. What used to be 4.99 was now 8.99 according to the tag. I thought the tag probably said that was the two for price. No, the tag said down a dollar to 8.99 meaning the now normal price is 9.99.
Not just the soda. Found a bag of non salted shelled peanuts. 2 lbs used to be 3.49. The new price is 2.50. I thought, must be a bumper crop. No, the old bag was 2 lbs., the new one is 1lb! So, the new equal amount is the equal of $5 for what used to be 3.49, not counting for the difference in packaging of course.
