Have you noticed any prices going DOWN?

[Diggin It]

OK, we all know most things are going up, some more than others. Variable reasons ... eggs and stuff due to bird flu and whatever.

But in town yesterday, I noticed more than a couple of things priced the same or lower than before the big mess a couple of years ago. I can't cite a lot specifics because they were products that are of limited interest or use to the tractoring world. Some groceries, some hardware, some electronics. A lot of things are at or near their old prices. A 6K BTU air conditioner for example is in the same $200 range as when I bought mine 7 or 8 years ago. Basic grade Harbor Breeze ceiling fans are in the $50-75 range which is quite a bit lower than I can remember. LED bulbs are half of what they used to be priced at.

No I havent noticed much anything going down in price.

Maybe the reason you saw “old” prices is because its old stock left over from last summer
(specifically 2001 AC units and fans) they are trying to get out the door before the next warm season.

A lot of items at the dollar store are now $1.50.

Our gas was $4.30 on Friday, not it is $4.19 this morning. Still nothing to write home about, but it is a little cheaper, but a long ways to go before it is priced where I think it should be.

I noticed some stuff at Harbor Fright back down a bit in price. But that is about it.

Fuel, as others have noted. Not down to pre-2021 prices by any means but gas dropped 16 cents at one place since last Monday, and I’ve seen diesel below $5.00.

Also, be very careful that the manufacturer isnt giving you smaller quantities.
Saw where an innocent prduct like Cheerios cereal reduced their number of ounces down to cut their costs. It gives the impression of lower prices when its just lower quantity.

I did see diesel drop about .10 but thats like a slap in the face when its still $5.

I picked up a pneumatic brad nailer/stapler from harbor freight Sunday for $19. Regularly $29.

A corned beef brisket was $13.00.
Bag of carrots was $1.

Meat at the butcher shop is not too terrible if you buy in bulk.

Diesel & gas are up a few cents a gallon. But that's normal for around here. Summer and the "need for greed" is coming on. Otherwise - everything else remains about the same.

How do those prices compare to what they were before? Food prices vary quite a bit by region so it's hard to reference.

Shaws seems to be going more toward buy 2 get 2 free. Still half price, but you need to buy a lot more. Per unit price quite a bit higher than last year.

I haven't shopped there in years. They may have changed but you used to have to belong to their "Rewards" program to get the best prices. Funny thing though, I could go down the road to Hannaford and get the same prices without a gimmick.

Gas dropped from $3.99 to $3.89. Every little bit helps and it is a little bit.
Most things in the grocery is either going up or getting smaller to stay the same price.

The news this morning was that Brent crude had dropped 24%. Don't hold your breath waiting for oil companies to lower their price as fast as they raised it.
