price increases are so ridiculous, they can't even update electronic price tags before new increases arrive.
These are toasted bread I used to buy for €1.99 last year. (Sorry not a good picture)
The electronic tag said €3.18 and advertising now for ¢3.65 a box.

Kenya opposition chief Odinga calls for protests every Monday.
The government of President William Ruto has vowed to take a tough stance over the demonstrations, which opposition leader Raila Odinga vowed would go ahead despite not receiving police authorisation.
#Kenyan riot police fired tear gas and water cannon against veteran opposition leader Raila Odinga's convoy on Monday, as clashes flared during protests against a severe cost-of-living crisis

The highest price for 1kWh of electricity was 0,52SKr. This year people can expect a price of 9SKr per kWh between 5pm and 6pm.
This is the paradise created by free market economy in Sweden.
In the mean time, Sweden is selling a huge amount of electricity to other countries like Germany.

These eggs at Aldi used to be €0.99 and now they are €2.99 at our shops.
Those on US seems to have gone up even more.
Sure it is #inflation. Not #pricegauging.
Inflation is hitting home for consumers across the EU, with new data showing that a regular cup of coffee may soon become a "luxury" for some.
In some countries, the price of coffee is up over 40% compared to last year.

The disgusting hypocrisy of the world is visible one more time.
The shit show about Ukraine products were needed in Africa and they were blaming Russia for starving Africans to gain popularity.
Guess what, the price of maze and barley has gone up almost 300-600% in most African nations. 10s of millions are at the edge of starvation, and 33 out of 34 ships with Ukraine grains were not sent to Africa.
These will be repacked, re labeled and then sent to Africa after the 2 or 3 brokers in between take their cut.
And when it finally arrives at destination, it will be sold at the new price, not the ones they were sold 6 months ago.

Example of "inflation"!
I use a few kilos of fawa beans per month. Both for cooking and for snack (old habit from my childhood in Iran) instead of potato chips and other processed snacks.
I used to buy 1kg of it for 1.80 to 2.30 depending on the shop.
This is 800g, the cheapest one i could find and cost now 3.99 (3 weeks ago it was 2.99).
It truly upsetting how they jack up the prices. Because for sure, the farmers are not getting any part of these massive price hikes.
