Price Hikes
The maker of Huggies diapers and Scott paper products said the percentage increases would be in the mid- to high-single digits and take effect in late June. They will apply to the company’s baby- and child-care, adult-care and Scott bathroom-tissue businesses. Cheerios maker General Mills Inc. (GIS) said it will raise prices to partly offset higher freight and manufacturing costs, in addition to rising commodity prices. “Our competitors and retailers are facing the same thing we are,” General Mills Chief Executive Jeff Harmening said. Hormel Foods Corp. (HRL)said in February it raised prices of its turkey products, such as Jennie-O ground turkey, to counter sharply higher grain costs. If the rally in the commodity markets were to continue, the company would likely pass along further increases, Chief Executive Jim Snee said. Hormel also raised prices of its Skippy peanut butter. J.M. Smucker Co. (SJM) said it recently raised prices for its Jif peanut butter and that it might do the same with pet snacks because of higher shipping costs and other inflationary pressure. Smucker Chief Executive Mark Smucker said retailers are passing increases along to consumers. “We only raise prices when costs are meaningfully higher, and we partner with the retailers to make sure it’s justified and that we move together,” he said.

Details man, let’s have the dirty details!
I will say it must have been that time of the month and we were called out from the local dive bar at 10pm that night.
What isn’t going up these days? Lumber is skyrocketing. All part of the same scheme.
Don’t care
We have 6 months worth
You gonna slide down his leg hairs? Be sure to get video!
What kind of shit are they trying to pull on us.
I can’t believe their giving almost 3 months notice. That has to be a first.
Works for me. HOA is getting testy and becoming armed camp.
Well known products pricing on the increase: paper products, condiments, meat products, cereal, snacks, peanut butter, and incidentals.
Generally due to increased transportation expense, feed costs, and increased expense of basic commodities, as well as international speculators.
The original news source (thestreet.com) also mentions that 'The Fed' wants inflation to make up for past years lack of inflation.
Interesting brief Info at the original news source website about 'The Fed'& inflation .
The return of stagflation. I’m sure the misery index will also make a comeback.
Throughout the Obama administration, we were serious preppers, and had a stack of TP that rose to the ceiling in our back bathroom - along with a lot of other stuff.
When Trump came in, we didn’t worry much anymore, and let our stash fall down.
Until Covid!
Now, we have our ‘stack’ back, and the Husband Unit buys more every week :-)

Except for interest rates paid on our savings. So this double whammy will steal more of our $
We bought a boatload after the first go around.
Cotton Ball : "Except for interest rates paid on our savings. So this double whammy will steal more of our $ "
Yeah, it the double whammy !
That is also why the stock market is so over inflated right now - investment to keep up with inflation and make a profit for expenses.
So to keep up with inflation, people invest(gamble) in the market - or go to a casino (same thing/ just quicker gains or losses )!
How do you define “loaded up?”
If Sheryl practices what she preaches, oooo that smell!
Maybe we can get fedgov to send us copies of Obiden’s EOs.
