Like many of you, I've definitely noticed prices going up on many items. Over the last few years, it seems like every grocery item has gone up at least 50 cents to dollars more per item. I've always been a bargain shopper, but lately I've been really trying to buy what I need vs impulse shopping.
What are some items where prices have surprised you?
For me, it was donuts! Price was typically $10 box for a dozen (local coffee chain). This morning it was $15. Garbage bags (BJ's), now $21 vs the old price of $15. Liquid hand soap (BJ's) almost $12 vs $7. I could just go on and on. At first, it seemed like a temporary thing with covid and supply issues etc. But now, I don't really see an end in sight.
