I was thinking the same thing. Whatever the market will bear is what is charged. I have always tried to combine my trips,but then I hate shopping,lol,. I don't buy anything anymore unless I absolutely need it.
And please when we talk about prices remember that 23cents was when the minimum wage was what? around $2 or so. Yes I know income has not kept up with prices and people are struggling. If it weren't for me living with my brother I would be living on the street because I could not afford to pay rent anywhere, so believe me I understand living on a tight budget.
That being said I really hate the greed that is showing up too. It hurts everyone except the guys at the very top.
