how they waited until AFTER the election.

If I thought they were price gouging I'd buy from a different seller. There's a grocer about 1.5 miles from our home. My wife and I like Kraft Buttermilk Ranch dressing on some of the foods we eat at home. For a 16 oz bottle at our local grocer it's just over $7 for 1 bottle. This happened about 3 to weeks ago. They do have buttermilk ranch, 16 oz bottle for half the cost, but it's not Kraft. We like the Kraft brand. At a grocer about 10 miles from us, they carry Kraft. Same 16 oz bottle for $2.97. Guess where I go?

They take advantage of people who may take the bus to the store, or walk, or rely on rides.
Some people may be stuck with the high prices.

And some times you can find the price of one item more reasonable in a store,
but their other items are higher priced, defeating the whole reason for traveling.

YES!!! That's one heck of a markup. That's the most I've ever seen Kraft Buttermilk Ranch go for EVER. When we do go to the grocer about 10 miles away, we make a big list and grab everything on it so we won't have to come back a few days later. Sticking to only what's on the list is the hard part. We have a Walmart about 13 miles from us. Occasionally we go there and stock up on canned stuff. We do order quite a bit online from Walmart.

I did this during covid and after an injury and surgery.

I just order what I need.

But when I am in the store I always have to detour to aisles with some goodies.

what tariffs will do these fuckers will still raise prices..
