This goes well beyond the supermarket. I recently priced a water heater. 40 gallon nat gas, 40,000 BTU standard height. My out the door cost (as a plumber) for said heater was $435 in January of this year. The very same model water heater from the same supply house, right now today, will cost me $730. That’s a $300 increase in 11 months. And it is customary for manufacturers to implement a price increase on January 1 every year, so in a few days time, I expect it will be up again.

I replaced my 40 gal wh exactly two years ago, $450 plus tax at Lowe’s. Just checked after reading your post, $896 plus tax. Damn!
