Grocery prices is it the economy or the stores

Tweet

Have you noticed the new sales in some stores, 10/$10.00, at first I thought this was a good thing, until I stopped to check the price of a single one of the items, and it was well below a dollar. So if the item sells for 89 cents single, I am paying an additonal $1.10 for 10. Sometimes I believe the stores are the ones that are making the grocery prices what they are. Recently went to get maragine at the local store and what was usually sold for 2/$3.00 was now $4.09-$4.99, I just stood there amazed tht the price had grown that much in just a few days, next day at Wal-Mart same tub of margarine was $1.79, no a sale every day price, I ask. So it appears the local store raised the price, not todays economy. I also see that on the first of the month that most stores raise the prices because of food stamps coming out to people. I think this is something that should be stopped, it is hard enough for low income people and disabled to buy groceries the way it is, and then to raise the price on them. On the first of the month around here chickens are almost $7.00 for a single chicken, we try to wait till after the first of the month to buy groceries when the prices go back down. What about you do you think it is the store that cause the prices to raise.
