It wouldn't be because the Tariffs right ?

Hershey's bar now cost 88 cents when it used to be 74 cents and the small bagged chips that used to be 2 for $1 now are $1.50 for 2 wtf

What's really going on here? and also BUTTER are being packed in a SMALLER container that is square like instead of the old circular molding.

Hot Pockets as well are smaller too.
All happened in the past 6 months.
When in 2012-2018 it all stayed the same.


I know about inflation and how they have been doing this for years/decades. But not this EXTREME
in just a couple of months.

Supply and demand are the reason. It will get worse before it gets better.

CHOCOLATE WARNING: Crisis as scientists reveal cocoa bean extinction is on the horizon.

Wet weather conditions have already delayed harvest in the Midwest, the biggest US corn producing region, besides weighing on the quality of standing crop, weather experts said. Another major concern for late planted corn crop in the US is frost, which can cause significant damage to the immature crops, they said.

the cpi is a lie to prevent ppl from learning that their savings are decreasing in value. the problem is it fails to correct for technology, which lowers prices. without this correction, prices seem steady. but, you're getting poorer. Consider hard drive prices. They should get cheaper per moore's law, but they actually go down much slower.

The change of prices reflect the value of our currency.
