Youngdumbson pronounces that yes, egg prices have come down some, but everything else has gone up. With Walmart leading the way.
They're using tariffs as an excuse, but I found that in the same week when I got to go to Sam's club, they hadn't raised their prices at all.
Walmart has raised everything from their famous $1 loaves of bakery bread ($1.47. Almost 50%) Eight O'clock coffee $13+ for 2lb bag ($17+ now up 30%), A large box of Corn Flakes used to just under $5, now almost $7, and a 12 pack of 7-up which used to be $5.98 is now $8.22. Steakburgers that used to be around $14 is now regular priced at just over $25. For 8 fricking hamburger patties.
This is only the latest in what they've been doing since COVID hit.
