Walmart's customers on average are on the low end of the financial spectrum, those that are likely to be hit the most by inflation and the end of the free money.

Kohls is seeing the same. It’s obviously not limited to the absolute bottom of the totem pole.

AT&T and T-mobile will copy this before you say boo.

These fees are super scammy when you have locked in pricing and discounts, none of which apply to this surcharge.

And they never end, which is a reason to switch to prepaid services that have a fixed price with no extras.

Cream cheese on the rise, and just in time, too.

The rabbonim should come out to switch it around, eggs for shvuos and cheese for pesach.

I haven’t seen eggs come down. Still over $3 at gourmet.

There were some decent deals on eggs before Pesach at national/regional retailers.

let’s see if existing home inventory improves as well, then his point is much stronger.

I asked the manager of the supermarket yesterday why the CC minimum didn’t go up when everything else did. I paid $11 for an iced coffee, a pack of gum, and a chocolate bar.

Why would it? Minimums are there to cover a fixed transaction cost which is often charged in addition to a percentage for CC processing.

WHen we go to the store and see that it went up we will know who to blame.
