I literally just today ordered metal sheets costing several thousand dollars. I should have ordered sooner because 30 days ago the price was 10% cheaper. The shop told me that they are raising their prices by 10% at the end of the month and that since my order will take more than two weeks to arrive I have to pay the higher price. This kind of thing is happening to me so often lately, but I keep reading in the news (except from Fox) about how inflation is getting better and how it's not a problem anymore. Such dissonance..
