You get what’s happening

Ah the good ol black friday strategy 😂

And everything at Target is still more expensive than everywhere else

Their name suggest their business targeting methods only stupid people fall for that

we can record what it was before and what it is after

Exactly👍

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..

Exactly

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.

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

Ehhhhhhh, yes and no

You stole my thinking.. that’s exactly what they did 🤦🏻‍♀️

It's totally price gouging it's not inflation, they just use it as an excuse so they can exploit us. Don't give into these corporations.

Agreed. Right after 2020, Safeway / Target increased crazy so I stopped going there.

People should protest and call out CEOs. Everyone blames politicians but politicians are only part of system

what if the whole country would stop making purchases 1 day a week ,that includes fast food and such things as new cars and so on , just think how it would affect the economy maybe lower prices across the board

@@ec5423If only we were United enough to do that.

This

no one wants cheap designer decor anymore. 35 for a vase and some fake plants.....14 for a candle. 12 for a plate

Shhhh. Don't TELL everyone for heaven sakes! Us long-time bargain shoppers need to be quiet.

@@user-oz9fs1xs9u everyone knows those stores are cheap, people dont buy them because they dont last. scratchy thin comforters. only the throws are worth getting.

Their clothes are garbage too made by children in sweatshops. Not worth it!

I agree!

You cheap that's why

Nothing wrong with being cheap.

@@pcha151 Yes, yes I'm and more so with inflation and rising food prices..

lol

Exactly

FAKE NEWS as usual . They are going to be lying to your face untill the election. That the economy is good and to ignore you own eyes and ears. 1984

Well it’s better than Walmart

Right all they do is mark the prices up then down to make folks think they're getting a deal

@worldtraveler3044, You may be right, but you also may be wrong on that too. I am not an expert on this particular topic, but something I have heard that needs to be brought into the discussion as well is the whole thing about covering costs/expenses/wage increases and those types of things. Inflation may be rapidly cooling, but there's one area that continues to eat away at Americans' budgets: Stubbornly high food prices. Rising food costs were one contributor to the hotter-than-expected inflation report on Tuesday, with food prices rising 0.4% in January from December, a faster pace than the overall 0.3% rise in the Consumer Price Index (CPI). The CPI, a basket of goods and services typically bought by Americans, measures two types of food purchases, groceries and "food away from home," or restaurant and other prepared meals. Both are rising, but restaurant prices are increasing at a faster pace, jumping 5.1% on an annual basis compared with a 1.2% increase in grocery costs. Any increase in food prices may be especially painful to American consumers, given that supermarket prices are now 25% higher than in January 2020, while inflation has increased 19% over that same time. That means even though grocery costs are now rising at a slower pace than in the depth of the pandemic's inflationary spike, the same shopping basket still costs more than a month or a year ago, a fact that has soured many consumers on the economy. Two-thirds of voters polled by Yahoo Finance/Ipsos late last year said food prices are where they're most impacted by inflation, far outpacing the 1 in 10 who said they feel the impact through gas prices or higher rents. January's stubbornly high inflation rate was "boosted by a notable uptick in food inflation back to 0.4%," noted Greg Wilensky, head of U.S. fixed income at Janus Henderson Investors, in a Tuesday email, adding, "We have not seen a food inflation print this high since the beginning of last year." The reason for inflation's stubborn hold on food prices can be linked to a number of issues, from higher labor costs at manufacturers that trickle down to consumers, to record-low cattle numbers that are driving up the cost of beef and steak. But some policy experts see other issues at work: Corporations, they claim, are increasing prices simply because they can. President Joe Biden last month warned that companies are "ripping people off" with a combination of price gouging, "greedflation" and shrinkflation. Greedflation refers to when companies hike product prices beyond the rate of inflation in order to juice their profits - a concept that Northeastern University economist William Dickens notes has become politicized, with Democrats typically leaning into the idea. Republicans, meanwhile, tend to blame the Biden administration for higher prices. What's causing higher food prices In fact, five types of food have been responsible for 30% of grocery inflation in recent years, the left-leaning think tank Groundwork Collective found in a February report. They are beef and veal; poultry; non-frozen, non-carbonated juices and drinks; fresh fruits and vegetables; and snacks. A few of those categories were among the drivers of January's hike in food prices, with beef and veal jumping 7.7% last month. Frozen non-carbonated drinks like orange juice surged 29% last month on an annual basis, while non-frozen non-carbonated drinks rose 4.2%, the CPI data shows. The reason for the hikes may be due to supply issues and climate change, rather than corporate greed. Drought has reduced pasture for raising cows, leading to smaller cattle herds, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. And orange production has been impacted by severe weather events and the citrus greening disease, which doesn't have a cure. Fast-food price hikes are on the menu Meanwhile, Americans are also getting walloped when they go out to eat, with fast-food prices jumping 5.8% in January from a year earlier, according to the inflation data released on Tuesday. McDonald's is one of the chains that has recently boosted prices, but that may be turning away some price-sensitive customers. CEO Chris Kempczinski earlier this month said the burger giant saw fewer visits and lower spending by customers earning $45,000 per year or less. "We certainly know consumers are more wary - and weary - of pricing and we're going to continue to be consumer-led in our pricing decisions as we look forward to 2024," McDonald's Chief Financial Officer Ian Borden said on an earnings call earlier this month. Rising prices at the grocery store and restaurants don't impact Americans evenly. Low-income consumers are hit much harder because they must spend a much larger share of their income to afford the basics. In fact, people in the bottom 20% of earners, whose income is about $14,000 a year, spend 25% of their money on groceries, compared with 3.5% for those in the top 20%, with annual income of about $244,000, the Groundwork Collective found. Despite January's hotter-than-expected price increases, shoppers should get a break later this year. Grocery prices will continue to moderate and could end the year with a slight decrease of 0.4%, according to a January USDA forecast. But those who love to eat out may not get much relief, with the USDA predicting that restaurant meals will end the year up 4.7%.

Yupp 💯

Exactly 👍💯

I'm in Orange County and it has always been about that much higher

Yep that's because it is, everywhere you go. But ppl didn't mind paying more for the laid back experience vs. Wal mart. But when everyone's penny pinching now, no one gives a damn about that laid back experience.

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.

💯True

Hahahaha.

Cant fight you on that your right yessir 👏

Yup!

That's not true at all. Speak facts before spreading rumors.

Literally! After they went up by like $2-4!!

Uhh people need to eat and a lot of women def need makeup 😆🤣

What's normal prices? Inflation been around since the Fed began in 1913 What is a normal price to one generation is expensive to the one before it. I'm in my mid 40s and remember when gas was $0.75 a gallon in the 1990's... my mom's generation remember when gas was $0.35 gallon in the 1960's What was cheap to me was expensive to my mother

Good call out

Great observation im stunt

True that. It’s going to take an angry “consumer” to keep the retailers and capitalist’s from gouging us all… 🇺🇸

Just wait until Trump is back and retailers will really have something to worry about.

​​@@milesfann33things was much better then before the 4 years of with this pedo administration we have now

I never shopped at Target. They have always been more expensive than other stores.

Ok. Thanks for sharing.

Same!

I don’t think anyone cares

@@ArbysroastbeefjuiceI care because I feel the same way.

@@Arbysroastbeefjuiceapparently you care if you bothered to comment on her comment.

Yeah- if you make a legitimate return - due to shoddy product even- they tell you you’ve reached your limit

This. I feel the same way.

Corporate media investigated its buddies and found they did nothing wrong.

It’s ridiculous. Just as general consumer information, companies love body wash. It’s much more expensive than a bar of soap, and it gets used up much faster.

@@genxx2724 so true, you spill most of it trying to get it on your body

@@vanpearsall If you pour it directly to your wash cloth or loofa you don’t waste as much.

@@X0AleeX0 Right, use a washcloth. I didn’t even realize any waste was due to spillage. I just thought it was because people use a greater volume of liquid body wash than solid soap rubbed from a bar. So there is a much larger amount of body wash used than I realized.

Thx everybody for ur bar soap ad.

Interest and inflation could come down but companies aren’t being forced to stop the price gouging… that’s what’s killing Americans budget right now

Your fault for falling for the plandemic narrative

They’re getting caught price gouging AB’s people are talking about it en mass. They’re not falling for the ceo tired old lies that prices are high due to inflation… they control their prices and for this while for years early 2020 they’ve been jacking up the prices because they can manipulate the public to blame the wrong person for what they’re doing

Right I’ve got $13 in my bank account living paycheck to paycheck and they say inflation is down 😪 WHERE??
