Off the chart. My brother and sister keep having to buy two liters because 12 packs so expensive now. Actually sister sent me to store to get a couple of two liters.
She goes here, let me give you some money. I got it. You sure, its not 99 cents a two liter now. Duh, especially at convenience stores. Circle K usually does some 2 for deal, but it was packed so I went to 7 11. Dr Pepper is the worse because supposedly pandemic hitting it hard with how it is made. Dr Pepper was 5 .80 for two 2 liter bottles at 7/11 with tax. That I get but what is the other brands excuses or is this corporate America taking advantage of a situation?
I know California they tax the crap out of soda but think its been years since they did that and been the same since but yet soda prices just jump crazy. Really a lot of groceries did. My sister comes back from grocery shopping, that was over 200 dollars, are you kidding, no. When are they going to fix the economy right, it gets more out of control every year. This is not sustainable practices corporate America.

My sister was even saying how Amazon is getting very sketchy on what they are doing. Sure some things are normal but certain things with these third party sellers they just let them get away with it and its actually changing Amazons business standards for the worse. We all know Jeff Bezos is not a guy that runs his business by morals just what corporate America allows.

@LadyDuck He actually announced his retirement I heard. My brother told me. That should be interesting. How it moves forward. It will, but wonder because usually the 2nd person is even worse. Trying to live up to standards.

@crossbones27 I agree with you, I ordered something and it came from a third party seller who was in China... it took ages to receive what I ordered. Jeff Bezos made a lot of money with Amazon, he should keep an eye on his company and maintain better quality standards.

Part of the price is based on where you live. Part of the price is based on cost of materials to produce the item. (Pretty can't get the soda she prefers anymore because of Covid. When we checked online we found an article that said some of the ingredients couldn't be made because the plants that make those ingredients had to shut down because all their people were passing Covid back and forth to each other.)

Thanks and is what I figured , They do a crap job of reporting, why not report that, because people would stop what they are doing. To busy going I hate Joe Biden, no I hate Trump,. If just said what you said. OK I see where the problem is lets go fix it. something gotta change or we not gonna make it plain and simple.

@crossbones27 You're welcome. Any time.
When something looks odd to us we start looking online to see if we can figure out why it is looking so odd and when we figure out the problem we let other people know what we found. It makes life simpler. Not simple, just simpler.

@crossbones27 The American people will only pay so much and than they will not buy the item anymore.
