Stop buying it at the corner store.. supermarket has the 2 liter for cheaper

Wal-Mart and supermarkets have them For the same price. I usually don't buy them but one day I was gonna grab one at lunch, saw the price and said "fuck that". Buying the cases for BBQs is costly too. I haven't bought candy in about 3yrs. Their prices are ridiculous too. If people stop buying, prices will go down.

They be having the 2 for 5 , 2 for 4, and even 2 for 3 sale at the supermarket around my way.. been to stores that have 3 for 5 , 2 for 4 etc and that’s the 2 liters… cornerstores almost get no money from me anymore cause their prices are way more costly than supermarkets and places like costco

Wow. Them shits use to be $1 lol. I've seen the 2 for $5 for the 12oz but that is still $2:50 each. I've been looking for healthier alternates that makes sense price wise, but there are very few options. This economy is fucked, everything is mimicking the oil industry and their fuckery with gas prices.

I mean what is the same price from 2000 or 2010? I can’t expect a 2 liter to stay $1 forever.. trick is to catch the sales or cut certain things off .. soda, candy, certain snacks ain’t the best for our health in general.. I been on a watermelon kick as of late and eating fruit way better anyway for you… I had damn near cut soda off from my diet several yrs ago and for the most part just consumed water for a few yrs.. it wasn’t until like last yr that I kinda bought back soda into my eating habits and that’s was only cause I was being cheap and making my own icee popsicles at home by using certain sodas during the summer.. outside of that wasn’t really trying to drink that while I was eating a meal, as a thirst quencher or anything else.. prices are definitely going up across the board but somethings you have to know are not gonna stay the same price forever

I was exactly they way you were with my diet. I don't have a desk job anymore so I'm constantly at different locations, that's how I started back. Of course no one expects anything to stay the same price, the complaint is how much the prices have risen and the time frame. The prices of goods out pacing wages by this much is concerning. Making excuses/reasoning for why prices are rising this fast doesnt help either. I stopped buying alot of shit because of prices. I haven't bought candy in about 6yrs and a laundry list of other stuff. Oh, spices is another example of insane price hikes.

I’ve mention on here that various companies definitely have price gauge on products and cause of that don’t support the fuckery.. but there are somethings that were gonna eventually go up overtime.. I’ve talked about utilizing sales, coupons, going to certain stores, etc for yrs on here to get the best price cause I’m a certified Jew.. I have to easily cut things off cause I’m not gonna spend higher prices for things.. reasons why I said cornerstores are pretty much dead to me.. eating out has been pretty much dead for me outside a few connections I have.. hell when potatoe chips started being $2 and up at cornerstores I was done pretty much with chips.. only time I might buy some is when Costco might have a sell on them big ass bags of sun chips and that’s super rare.. I pretty much cook shit at home or have chicks cook for me at times.. been on that smart consumer shit and big companies would hate my mentality.. hell I always scream free.com cause I don’t pay for no streaming sites, ppv, movies, sports , cable, etc been cut the cord like 16+ yrs ago

US ends tariff exemption for all low-value packages

By Christian Martinez and David Shepardson
July 30, 2025

https://www.reuters.com/world/us-ends-tariff-exemption-all-low-value-packages-2025-07-30/

The United States is suspending a "de minimis" exemption that allowed low-value commercial shipments to be shipped to the United States without facing tariffs, the White House said on Wednesday.

Under an executive order signed by President Donald Trump, packages valued at or under $800 sent to the U.S. outside of the international postal network will now face "all applicable duties" starting on August 29, the White House said.

Trump earlier targeted packages from China and Hong Kong. The tax and spending bill recently signed by Trump repealed the legal basis for the de minimis exemption worldwide starting on July 1, 2027.

"Trump is acting more quickly to suspend the de minimis exemption than the OBBBA requires, to deal with national emergencies and save American lives and businesses now," the White House said, referring to the bill known as the One Big Beautiful Bill Act...
