The blockage of the Suez
Canal, the COVID-19 pandemic and the winter blast in Texas all have one thing
in common – they are costing you
more at the grocery store.
Companies are jacking up
prices for household staples, such as peanut butter. The makers of Jif and
Skippy are raising their prices.
Cottonelle toilet paper and
Kleenex are also jumping up in price, and more products are planning to follow.
Diapers, paper products, and
cereal could see price increases as early as June, and you'll be shelling out
more if you're a pet owner.
People should expect to see
a cost surge for products such as Kibbles n' Bits and Milk Bone.
