Cream prices have more than doubled. At Target, the 32oz Heavy Cream that was $2.99 in Oct 2021 is now $6.49. And there's a cream shortage in any case. Inflation and supply chain issues.

My oatmilk has gotten quite a bit more expensive. Cashew milk is frequently out of stock lately.

Really? Oat milk is $6 a gallon here, and I'm pretty sure it has been roughly that for a long time. At least since I started buying it. Cow milk is about $4.50.

Can't really substantiate this tho as I can't find online charts of oat milk prices lol

I don't think this is 'inflation'. A few companies have realized that there is effectively no consumer protections when it comes to price gouging, they will continue to raise prices until they experience some pain in this regard.

The issue is an anti-trust issue and consolidation.

It seems kind of unlikely that companies are just now becoming aware of this fact. It might be the case that their expectations for what the American consumer will take have shifted, though…

Yes, the half-and-half I use in coffee is regularly out of stock at my local grocery.

I've taken to buying two bottles of the ultra-pasteurized when it's in stock, which of course makes me part of the problem.
