those same containers, same branding and graphics, are now 14 ounces. You notice it's slightly smaller, but there's nothing you can do.

Any market depends on supply and demand.

If we stop demanding ice cream at this price, the supplier will have to make the price more appealing if they want to actually sell it.

...and would rather go out of business, there's always the home ice cream machine manufacturers.

Or are we just content with not doing anything? Just lay back and accept abuse after abuse?

Hope Garland has the good sense to resign on the first day of Joe's second term as IMO he hasn't done a good job.

We had a nationally televised coup attempt and none of the principal planners, especially trump, have been tried more than 3 years later.

We all saw it.

30+ years ago, you could buy a three-pound bag of coffee beans at the A&P for $4.99 on sale. Then it was $4.99 for two pounds. Last time I looked less than a pound for $5.99.

Same with canned ground coffee. 36 ounces for $4.99. Now it's 10 ounces for $5.99.

and you also need to adjust for the cost of money over 30 years. $4.99 in 1994 is equivalent to $10.38 in 2024. Using your example the price per pound now should be around $3.46, so it's roughly doubled in price during that time frame.

At our “locally owned” Dairy Queen as the recorded greeting says, a box of 6 Dilly bars used to be $6.99 before Covid. When the Covid supply chain issues began they raised the price to $9.00 citing the supply issues. So-a pretty big jump but at the time I suppose it wasn’t questioned all that much. I stopped at the DQ drive thru a couple of days ago for Dilly bars and a small milkshake for my grandson who is sick and the total was $17.65. Thinking a mistake was made I asked at the window and the girl told me the price of Dilly bars is now $13.65. I asked if there were more bars in the box and she said there are still 6 bars. I was gobsmacked. She said their supplier raised prices so they had to raise prices. I think that’s a pretty hefty price hike and Dilly bars have doubled in price over these last 4 years. I know I won’t be buying Dilly bars any more.
