Well, I am sure the jumps on single items happen all the time. But people simply stop buying it, and then the items go on sale-- I watch carefully what interests me.
OK flour cost 3.39 vat free in December. Then they put it on sale to deplete old stock for a number of months about 3.59 plus VAT. Now the new stock goes for 5.79 plus VAT.
I only buy what is reasonable. Now that lamp chops go for nearly 8 dollars, I just do not buy them.
I like Sauers mayonnaise because it tastes the same as my homemade mayonnaise. That went from 2.99 to 4.39. But I found it reduced to 2.99 because no one bought it.
There is also cost shifting. If they cannot charge extra for the milk, they divide the extra between the pancake mix and the syrup. Gotcha. But not me, I make my own pancake and my own syrup.
Our flour never came from the Ukraine. But now Trudeau Castro said he will cut fertilizer by 30%, so watch the price go up. The 4lbs OK flour now sells for nearly 6 dollars, and the price is controlled.
The rule of thumb for merchants is about 3 times the purchase price. For all things which are not price controlled. Try it on a few items and different places.
Once you pay for items, plus shipping , plys brokers, plus transportation, you are at twice the price, so the markup is about 30 to 40% on a good day.
Some merchants just double the landed price, making it 4 times what amazon charges.
That is why a kitchenaid stand mixer sold at amazon for 180.00 retails for 550 plus VAT locally.

> officers had been advised to stay away from him.
LOL. That a bahamian thang.
I was at the receiving end of a similar instruction at one point. While being victimized.
The reason HR says that is because they want to reserve the right to do the same to those leftover.
If the colleagues had spoken to me, I wouldhave told them: Watch out, you are next. But they took it to heart and would not even say good day.
Yep, they were next.

These annual uniforms are a racket.
In my time, the dressmaker made uniforms to last 3 years. How?
With sufficient fabric in the seams to let out as we grew. We are talking like 2 inch side seams and 4 inch hems.
