Why are food prices so absurdly high and what could be done to fix this?
In: 657
Anecdotally I think prices for many items stayed suppressed for years. I feel like retailers used Covid or something that occurred at the same time as an excuse to raise prices that they’ve been wanting to do for years. I buy a lot of diet soda and I honestly don’t recall the price of a 2 L bottle of soda changing that much in the 10 years prior to Covid. Since Covid, though, we’ve seen prices go up multiple times and we seem to be settled in at about $2.99 a bottle. I have a feeling those prices will stay there for a long time until the next reset.
