Are food prices based in reality or just plain greed?

7. That's my point

In my local stores things are not stocked again like they were. If my local store runs out of a product, it may not return for a month or longer or not at all but the other products similar just keep going up in price. They don't care if we get what we want, but they are just controlling what we get and raising prices to cover their new store practices which seem to be price over quantity. If you ask for them to get something back, they usually won't. Used to be the more they could sell the more profit they made. Now they seem to be trying to make more profit by doing less.
