Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
My DW and DD have commented that prices for some "same-for-same" items at Trader Joe's in southwest Florida are 15-25% higher than in SC and Chicagoland. I don't have the specific items, but they are savvy shoppers and I trust their observation. They reported that there were no items here in the sunny south that cost less. Maybe it is logistics, maybe it is a snowbird affect, maybe it is some type of "inflation".
About 7 yrs ago , when in Hawaii, Oahu to be specific.
I stopped in a ABC store and the mile was over $10 / gallon.
Compared to my home Aldi store it was $1.xx / gallon.
But that is not inflation. Just different regional prices.
