Will the prices really go down?

[DCLMP]

This forum has never really been Disney specific. When I first lurked here a quarter century ago, people posted the best deals - not limited to Disney. And there were tons of threads on finding the best deals around WDW, like hotels and dining, and where to find hot coupons (on the Internet and around Orlando area). It was an invaluable resource that helped us visit WDW often. I miss those days.

But this thread is wondering if prices will come down. Our favorite brand coffee has been selling $2 to $4 more (sale pricing) for a 10 pack of k-cups. Some of this is inflation but much of it is the tariffs directly imposed on coffee. Now that those have been rescinded, I’m hopefully the price will come down - even if it’s just slightly. We will see.

I believe were headed into a recession. Those deals on hotels and dining may start coming back...not necessarily a good thing.

The trend I find baffling is the growing spread in prices for the same products at different retailers.

>Why are roma tomatoes 92 cents a pound at Walmart and $2.99 a pound at the local chain store when they are the same quality from the same supplier.

>Why are avocados 60 cents each at Walmart, but $1.25 ON SALE at the chain grocery store, again, same quality from the same supplier.

> My favorite. Why is store brand non-fat milk $3.22 a gallon at Walmart, but $5.98 at the chain grocery store. The chain grocery store OWNS their own dairy, and they bottle Walmart milk locally!

> Why is regular gasoline $3.79 a gallon at ARCO, but $4.79 a gallon across the street at Chevron. Both are Top Tier gasolines.
