I am an incredible grocery shopper & know what prices should be. I know what frugal is. I shop organic & sustainable meat/poultry/seafood down to the name of the producer. I am going to start calling out corporations that are #PriceGouging ARE TRYING to f*ck up the Nov Election.

Don't believe this @Chobani "mission of making high-quality food accessible to more people while elevating our communities" A 4-pack of yogurt has gone up $2 in a year (I have the receipts!) Are you paying milk farmers more? Employees? Show us YOUR reasons for #PriceGouging us.

.@ShopRiteStores Why do you have the same sign up for 3 years about "We are sorry about current shortages." WHAT shortages? Quit scaring people! Stop #PriceGouging There are NO shortages. Take The Sign Down!

.@Lysol $5.49 for a 70 to 80 ct canister? Really? Are you telling us #COVID19 #COVID19AB is coming back?? Or are you just #PriceGouging ? #PayYourTaxes
@ThisIsReckitt owns @Lysol - #StopGouging

.@kraftmacncheese Seriously?? $3.49 for a 10.1 to 14-oz box of white processed pasta and a bag of powdered fake cheese?? #PriceGouging #ShameOnKraft #PayYourTaxes

Wow @KelloggsUS, $6 for a box of sugar cereal with no nutrients? #PriceGouging #Shame #PayYourTaxes

.@Hellmanns - why is your 48 oz jar of mayonnaise $7.99? Oh, nvm, @Unilever owns Hellman’s Mayonnaise because @unileverusa bought the rights to Hellman’s Mayonnaise in 2000. #PriceGouging #ShameOnUnilver #PayYourTaxes

.@Nabisco, we need to talk about @Oreo cookies. WHY in the world would a 16 oz pack of Oreos be $4.69? Did you increase wages? #PriceGouging What were your profits this year? How much were your taxes? Who do you think can afford $5 freaking cookies?

Yesterday, @ShopRite corp did get back to me to ask the location of the #FearMongering store. Today, not only there were still signs (I took pics), but tons with "due to shortages/processing of XYZ" but on fully stocked shelves! (However, I did save $40 on $140 groceries👍🏼). 1/

I have a question for @LibbysPumpkin: Why is a 15oz can of the "squash" (we know it's not pumpkin) is $3.09? & organic $4.39? Do you know it's Autumn & we all want to bake? Oh, wait, nvw, of course you do #PriceGouging #Shameful😡Btw, I bought the organic competitor for $3.09 2/

I know @DaisySourCream isn't very active here but I'd like to know why the Light Sour Cream last week, normally priced at $2.99 was "on sale" today at $3.29? What's up with that? What's it going to be when it's no longer "on sale"? We see prices go up, even dimes & nickels. 3/

One of my fav products is @fairlife (yes, it costs a lot but double protein & calcium, very important for me), but > 1$ more in less than a year ($4.49 -> $5.60)? Can you please let us know if you are #PriceGouging I had to switch to organic store brand💔What's with the cows? 4/

My dear @gardein, sighs, what is going on? Almost $6 on sale for your fabulous meatballs? Isn't soy one of the most subsidized commodities in the US? Are your packages getting smaller? 💔 Are you #PriceGouging America? Oh, nvm, OMG, you are owned by @ConagraBrands !! 😱💔💔 /5

I always know that decent cheese goes on sale, this week was @CrackerBarrel (owned by @Kraft, not the racist restaurant, so at least there's that). $1.99 each, however the lady next to me said it was $6 at #Kings (still not sure if the latter is #PriceGouging /6 End

P.S. Wow, that Albertsons & Kroger merger is going to be insane - looks like moe tkacik @moetkacik has a great thread on it!
