Title says it all basically. I understand that inflation is at around 7% give or take. But things that used to cost $1 is now at Dollar Tree / Dollar General / Etc for $1.25 meaning their profit margins are even higher now than they were before inflation, no?
I know dollar stores are actually a rip-off and you get less product for your dollar but everyone is meming about “The $1.25 Store” and I’m super curious how this works.

Prices have been at 1$ for multiple years and were not being adjusted for inflation. Then after a few years they decided to pull the trigger and jump straight to 1.25$, rather than 1.07, and then next year to 1.16 and so on.
