We just looked at gouging in the pricing of Evil Black Rifles, but have you been to the grocery store lately? Looked at the prices for bacon? Doubled since last year. Yep, we now have $7.00/# bacon, and in my local Safeway, it wasn't their best grade of bacon, either.
Vendors are dropping quality and raising prices and, not mentioned, reducing the size of packaged items, ALL AT ONCE. Hard on retired folk like me. Not to mention families and other middle-class people.

It's pretty obvious inflation is a current problem. Producers don't want to raise prices, so quantities are dropping, or quality, or both. If you are observant, it shows up everywhere. The quality of stuff that Costco carries has been slipping, both their own brand, and outside vendors. Frankly, I wish the manufacturers would hold the line on quality, and jack up prices, instead. This would help the average person realize what is happening in our country. Instead, if they aren't paying attention, which is most people, it slides by unnoticed.
