As our supplier's 2011 price lists come out one thing is certain. Prices are going up. Some are keeping prices down for the first half of the year but say they will have to raise come summer, others are starting out 2011 with accross the board increases. Textile, raw materials and manufacturing costs are up 10-20%, apparently.
Same with groceries. My family notes that eggs which were $0.88 are now over $2.
Gas is already going up. CEO of one of the oil companies said $5 by the summer?
Doesn't there have to be demand for inflation to occur? I thought the economy was still sputtering. What happens when 20% increase in cost of goods meets 9% unemployment?
