After Pledging to Keep Prices Low, Amazon Hiked Them on Hundreds of Essentials

[Guno צְבִי]

While Walmart cut prices on low-cost goods, Amazon raised them.​

In April, Amazon said it would hold the line on prices. The Journal’s analysis of prices from e-commerce data firm Traject Data found that while Amazon’s price rose on 1,200 of its cheapest household goods, competitor Walmart lowered prices on the same items by nearly 2%.

The divergent strategies show how major retailers are reshaping prices on popular products as uncertainty about tariffs drags on.



Imported goods and products with mixed origins—domestically assembled with imported components—faced even steeper hikes.

I remember what they charged for Lysol during Covid when the supermarkets didn't have any.

In a more civilized nation, Amazon would have been instantly nationalized
and Bezos would have been put to sleep.

Well retailers and exporting countries can only eat so much and when it hurts their bottom line they will pass on Trumps high tariffs to the Consumer .
And now the US auto makers are getting together and going to Trump asking him to either raise the tariffs on Japan or lower the tariffs on Canada and Mexico , they say if he leaves them the way they are now Japan will flood the American market and their sales / profits will go down and they will have to lay off people here and maybe even shut down some plants.
Trump's tariffs being as high as they are are not good for America and will be passed on to the consumer and could do some real damage to our economy.
And again exporting countries and retailers can only eat so much then they have to raise their prices, Don't blame them put the blame where it belongs right on Trump.

Prices are going up. There is nothing that can stop that now. The Dollar is losing value.

And the price of thing that are " on sale " have already started going up.
IF Trump puts his tariffs on next week it will even be getting worse , as it is reading in the news this morning Coffee will be going up and up what is the tariff on Brazil 50% and Trump is talking about pushing it even higher.
And that isn't going to make a lot of coffee drinkers happy.
YA you keep thinking nothing is going to happen stay under your rock and when it finally his your pocketbook don't cry about it go find something on sale, it may be on sale but most likely the price will be higher then the normal price is right now.

YES they do and AGAIN Trump's tariffs haven't ALL been put on YET and when they do most of them will get passed on to the US consumer.
I don't have kids but IF you had looked those so called sales are not so great.
Some things are already higher with the so called sale price then they were 2 month ago.
