That would imply someone here behind the scenes are leaking posters ID, and targeting certain individuals.
Considering a lot of price increases on many items, it seems to me that what is happening here may be that just because a company raises it’s prices, another thinks that is justification for them to do the same. Just as bad is when they reduce the quantity or quality (or both) of a product to compensate. Why not retain price, quantity, & quality if you can & advertise as such? Surely that should increase sales & firm up your customer base. I have as late experienced certain products that have reduced everything but price & expect to be competitive.They are going to lose out in the long run. Some products have deteriorated to the point that I no longer will purchase them. The price has stayed the same, but the product quality is lowered to the point of just not being acceptable. I have also found that to file a complaint about certain products requires jumping through so many hoops that it is just not worth it. This tells me that that certain companies are just not interested in hearing your complaints.
