Stop calling it inflation, it's price gauging. If it's truly inflation, companies should not be making record profits.

[@veronica-c8199]

Exactly👍

[@NonsenseandFuckeryAMD]

It’s by literal definition both lol Inflation: when things such as housing, gas, and more not just in-store prices that go up exceeding high and at a fairly fast pace all occur at once. - in which in this day we are seeing all those things collectively skyrocket in our economy. So yes, it is cost-push inflation and I could argue it is as well demand-pull inflation due to the insane craze of people junk buying things they see influencers promote or use. We see this with items such as drunk elephant, Stanley cups, etc where the demand was so high that in fact concerning the Stanley’s exceeded production capability. And obvious I don’t have to explain price gauging..

[@Bretware904]

Completely false, most businesses work on fixed margins so higher profits would be expected. If the wholesale price doubles the profit is likely to double.

[@RebeccaSproul-s3d]

Definitely which is illegal in America, it takes team work to make things go down

[@SmokeyRoseWolf]

@@Bretware904no, you’re not able to comprehend so there’s no point in trying to explain but I’ll try. If it takes you 30 cents to make a cookie & sell for $1 & inflation happens meaning you now pay 60 cents to pay for the same thing so you raise it to $1.30 to make up for the difference = you wouldn’t be making a RECORD breaking profit - you should be making the EXACT same profit which means what? That they are paying 30 cents still for a cookie but charging us $1.30 - so the “inflation” isn’t real… you’re JUST charging us more for the same.

Nah in the Sacramento area it makes no sense to go to Walmart for anything. Most of the time the price difference is between 1-5 cents! Why would I wait 30 minutes to get a locked up pair of socks when I could go to target and grab it off the shelf for the same price. I will admit I would never buy any groceries from Target because they are outrageous, but I can’t say Walmart is any better when they scam customers with massive weight discrepancies. We have WinCo over here and the groceries are so much cheaper and better than any Walmart.

Say what want about Walmart. It is one of the few big stores remaining where you can get a somewhat decent deal on food and things.

[@3adark3angel3]

You also have to account for the fact that target will price match against most of the big retailers, so I recommend checking the prices on their apps and as you shop compare the prices, add to your online cart whatever item you find cheaper on another store and when you get to the checkout lane show it to the cashier and ask them to price match you. On top of that if you have one of the target red cards you get an extra %5 off, plus whatever sales they have going on. So it all can really add up if you shop smart
