HOW IS THIS FOR INFLATION????

Went to the Costco today. They had dishwasher tabs on sale. I anticipated the normal sale for these tabs which for years has been 100 or 110 tabs, normally about $16.00, on sale for about $13.00.

Guess what greeted me......

The regular price had been jacked up to $21.00 and the sale price was now the old regular price of about $16.00.

Not only that, but the box now held only 90 tabs, not the 100 or 110 tabs it used to contain.

NOT ONLY WAS THERE RIDICULOUS INFLATED PRICE INCREASES BUT THERE WAS ALSO SHRINKAGE!!!!!
