Yikes!
I do all the shopping as DW is handicapped and can't get around without a lot of equipment and time. Today I made the mini pharmacy and grocery run and it seems like every time I go shopping, the prices are going up. I'm talking about basic stuff and not Kobi steaks or other delicacies.
Today's example is common household bleach. Before Covid, this was around a buck a gallon from what I can remember. This stuff is not made via rocket science, it's just sodium hypochlorite (NaCLO) and made in tank car quantities and it doesn't require a whole lot of labor (I have worked at a few plants that made this stuff).
Also, today's visit included a visual of a twelve pack of mini-blueberry muffins, a treat we get occasionally, get repriced from $2.98 to $3.98 per package of 12.
Here's the pricing on the bleach (note 2.39 liters, or 81 ounces). This was previously @ $3.22 if I recall a month or so ago:
Got any new inflated examples to add?
