Why Prices Might Never Go Back Down

Both FOOD ASSISTANCE programs and GROCERY STORE PICKUP has helped to cause an INCREASE in GROCERY STORE FOOD PRICES. FOOD ASSISTANCE assures that a grocery store will sell a certain percentage of food items ... because of that they can use particular PRICE POINTS knowing the items will sell and anything after that simply adds to the "bottom line." GROCERY STORE PICKUP has caused FOOD PRICES to rise as a person now has to be PAID to DO YOUR GROCERY SHOPPING ... more than just a cashier - NOW - you have people shopping for you, sorting everything out, and getting it all ready for pickup. All of this adds to our cost of FOOD!!

Count down to meltdown

When I was in University 10 years ago I would spend $1.50 Canadian for a carton of eggs. Now a carton of eggs cost $7 Canadian for the average egg. Not the free range Omega 3 which I buy which can go for $9 a carton.

CNBC can shove that s$!t up their a$$ saying inflation isn’t bad and things are getting better. “Money Illlusion”?? Really? What a load of BS. Are we all suffering from money illusion??!!?? I don’t think so….

i am so confused about USA economy currently.... few days ago i saw a video on how costco is selling gold bars, and that the gold bars are running out pretty fast at their stores and they are having to stockup pretty fast..NOW fast forward to today i see this video where people are saying prices are high, and affordobaility has been hit. I AM SO CONFUSED.

They say dont blame Biden but someone is to blame for the poor quality of life rn in the US.This isnt sustainable.

Ok, so the economy is bad because companies are greedy, and it won't get better until we hurt their pockets. & it'll still only be a marginal improvement. There, saved you 12 minutes.

2 weeks to flatten the curve = a lifetime of economic pain.

with trump they will.

Vote for trump and I bet they will.

Have never really seen prices go down especially for essentials. It may be reduced a few dollars for a brief time but prices generally go up and don’t go back to prior pricing. Can remember when you could get get gas for 99 cents in the 80’s even in early 2000’s gas was under $2 bucks.

Was this piece written by 6th graders? such a tone deaf piece.

Thanks Biden ! 🎉 you make America worse again

Greedflation. It’s always such a funny thing to think that just because production costs have gone, companies would lower the price. That’s the reason why I am for increasing credit card costs. It’s the same concept, businesses are complaining that the cost of processing credit cards are too high. They are saying, that if a law was in an acted to lower down the price of the credit card fees, that of course they would lowered down the price of their goods. Obviously, through inflation and so many experiments around the world, we know that just because a businesses costs go down doesn’t mean they will use it to benefit consumers.

Too much tax for the employee increase stress

Used to get teased for store brand things and shoes from payless
Now we all getting store brand 😂

Imagine how bad things will be for the next generation

Best country on earth

i just stopped eating at this point,barely eat now

I am shocked that one pack of aluminum foil at Costco costs $32. Aluminum foil used to be very cheap.

Prices will never come down! Only wages will increase from here, and they lag behind severely

Okay does everyone remember the < > = signs in school ? because I do. They say the economy is doing better right? Wages have gone up, jobs have been created, unemployment has gone down? and the economy is doing good. My response is this, If wages have gone up and prices have gone up, how is it working, they increase one and then increase the other so are higher wages really higher wages? Higher wages are actually hurting us because companies are going to just up prices so they can pay those higher wages, end of story. Jobs are being created, unemployment rate is decreased and the economy is doing great, really where here in the United States? Where is the economy doing great or even better? I have been buying food and gas, I have been paying electric, rent and insurance along with everything else, I don't see a decrease in prices if anything an increase. Not only that but food is a joke on a package it says family size but you buy it take it home it it is half empty and it will feed a family of one person and to top that off it has chemicals added to it. If you go to the store and you steal something or inject a chemical in to lets say an orange your butt is going to jail, end of story but yet that is what they are doing because these family packages that feed a single person is false advertisement on the packaging and they steal your money saying you get something but it is not what you bought, that is stealing. The chemicals or the perseveres that is what they call it is being put in our foods that we pay high dollar for but yet they are not being arrested and people are getting sick and even dying because of the foods they eat but they won't say that. I just wonder when will people stop being played and everyone will come together and say NO MORE. To stop all this craziness it will take a whole nation of people our nation to rise up as a whole. The first words of the Constitution say, "We the people in order to" we have to stop being a part of parties and start being a part of a nation one nation we the people. Ya we have differences, view issues but we all can agree on one thing " Things have to change and we all need to stand as a nation together and say enough is enough." We can vote RED or BLUE but it will be like wages and prices in the end it will be just the same, no president is going to change it and if you think so you are kidding yourself. People will say, " Trump will change it he is for the people." "Look what he did when he was president." I looked didn't see much. Some will say, " Biden has done a good job as the economy is so much better than it was when Trump was in there, " No it is not better and it wasn't better with Trump either." They say stuff but we all know it lies, all of it. The food industry are getting ready for immigrants to leave the United States who work the fields for cheap if Trump gets in there, who is going to do those jobs for cheap, so they are raising prices too? _______ you got it. This is just one thing. if this term Biden gets in and raises taxes on the billionaires, the billionaires are raising prices to line their pockets because they are not ready to lose money on taxes, so they raise prices now. Just one thing. = not < or > than. Why does some people see it and others don't? I ask myself aren't we all living it?

Number one issue with inflation, even in the aspect of it "slowing down" prices have no changed much and I DOUBT, any company that started making 7 dollars per bottle of Mayonnaise is going to be like "whew inflation is down, lets tdrop the price back to 4"

So now instead of raising prices on these items, they are just keeping them at the level at which they were when inflation was rising increasingly, which only screws us as the consumer whose not seeing a difference in price and probably never will!

is CNBC just a mouth piece for the govt? give me a break. The CPI is fraudulent. real wages are a bit negative. no mention of money printing? no mention of oil? come on....

people.... it's called a fruit trees...like get some. one apple tree can make 200 lbs of apples per year!

y'all are really ghetto trying to eat something different everyday. . . Miranda priestly eats the same meal for lunch Monday through Friday a steak bread and asparagus . . . Classy

Its only coming down coz election is coming, dont be fooled. U have 2 eyes, 2 ears, 1 mouth, 1 common sense and 1 brain. Think !

They were never going down they LIEDDD 😂

No one was complaining when they were getting stimmy checks. Here is the consequence of free money. What did we learn from this? Say no to free handouts. Cuz you will eventually pay for it.

No one else is going to talk about the sweater puppies?

People keep buying no matter what that’s why they stay the same if people start budgeting and stop spending the prices will go down.

The best way for consumers to see lower prices is to STOP consuming so much! Supply and Demand!

Alternative title: Americans don't understand what the word "inflation" means.

i really cant believe our politicians have done this to us, theyve spent trillions and forced the cost onto everyone through higher prices and ever increasing inflation, its utterly insane people still even support the govt let alone keep voting and hoping someone will fix this but every politician from trump to biden and those before them just spends and prints more and more and forces everyone into increasing debt and poverty and creates massive wealth inequality with it all, so those who are politically connected get richer because of it... the problem is govt spending, currency expansion and fiat currencies, fractional reserve banking and central banks... until we stop govts doing this and until people figure this all out things will just get worse & govts just lie about what inflation is, pretending like its not as bad as it really is

They will go down if your boycott high prices where ever you find them and by voting for Trump

This is demonic

Stop the cap

So is not that prices are higher, the dollars are cheaper. FED flooded the economy with paper money, so the dollar got to worth next to nothing. This allow price to go up and down for some goods, as this paper money are chasing wealth.


Deflation is also good, is the natural normal economic, however is not good for the banks that are build on debt and the banks are backing the entire systems and further corrupting politics and destroying society.

GREED is forever

Let me sum the video up for you:

“Corporate Greed.”

The only thing that would? A deflationary spiral, or a second great depression.

People get happy when they see that salaries go up, but they do not realize that that cost is going to be transferred to them. Being the owner of a grocery store I realize that people at one point get comfortable with the prices, and keep purchasing, and there is no reason to lower prices. Same thing do the suppliers.

High prices explained by a simpleton: You asked Why are things so expensive
It because millions of people are pushing up from South America flooding into the United States 🇺🇸 and Canada 🇨🇦 fact is their are at least 400 million coming out of china 🇨🇳 flooding into countries all over the world the problem is called supply and demand the demand for goods and services are very high, but the supply is very low that is why prices are so high and they will continue to be high until the economy adjust problems with that is we can end up with to much supply of everything like food 🍱, clothing, cars and homes 🏡 making everything cheaper and worthless.
Your home property values could drop like a rock 🪨 with oversupply everywhere so don't cry 😭 about high prices to hard. Prices will drop not soon, but they will drop it’s all about supply and demand populations shifting here and there the demand for certain products prices drop or rise based on supply and demand it’s simple nobody can control prices for long because if people refuse to buy it prices have to drop but if everyone buys it the prices stay high simple logic.

Those prices are never coming down. You can just forget that. Companies are making too much money. What we need is an act of congress to force a national price decrease across the board.

Oh fantastic it'll never go down that means I'll be stuck with crippling dept 😅😢and will need to a millionaire to even afford a house such a free country after all

There is no voting your way out of this. No one of coming to save us. Wake up.

The stock market has to crash in order to get out of this.

Higher costs for food = more taxes paid.
