Taco Bell bean & cheeese burrito used to be 0.99 not too long ago. Now it's 2.50. A box a oreos at the grocery store was 2.49, not its 6.49 (and thr package holds half the cookies now!) Crazy.

I understand things are cooling off. But that just means the prices won't continue to rise so fast. The prices aren't going to come down I don't think.

    You’re probably right, they realized the bump in profits and now none of them want to roll it back, the charade continues. There’s no real oversight, so until we stop buying they’ll keep raising prices and expect our problems will somehow even out for them.
