  It was 49c in 2017, then it was 89c in 2020, and now it's 99c in 2023.

    Where? I remember buying Arizona with 99c on it well over a decade ago. edit: it's been 99c for 3 decades, since they started business https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-04-12/az-iced-tea-inflation-99-cents https://www.latimes.com/business/story/2022-04-12/az-iced-te...

      They put 49c labels over the 99c wherever I bought them in California. I think the 99c price was originally for convenience stores because there were sales of 5 for $2 at Walgreens in 2018.

        I'm also in CA and lived on Arizona for most of my teens and early 20s. Never saw this pricing. I would have remembered it, especially during the skint college years. It's always been a dollar. At best you'd see 2 for 1 deals. It sounds like you live in a heavily subsidized market - probably best not to try to draw generalizations about inflation from your specific circumstances, they are atypical.

  Preface it with MSRP? I'm in Ireland, I'd say a good third of printed on labels are not even in the right currency, as companies have a single UK and Ireland SKU. It's also understood that generally it's the retailer that sets pricing, not the manfucturer, so when a book has $9.99/£8.99 printed on it and a store sticker with €12.99, nobody is confused that that's not the exchange rates, or about which price they'll pay.
