I have a favorite jelly that I no longer purchase and evidently other stopped buying as well. The shelves are stocked with plenty of the jelly. The problem is the price. I told them they have priced me out of their product. Of course they cited supply chain issues. No, there is an abundance of the product. I cited corporate greed. It's not that I can't afford the product, I just don't want to pay double the price. I can see $1.00 increase, but not double. I told them we consumers have other choices. Go ahead corporations, bite the hand that feeds you. We will fight back.
