When do prices come down?

When do prices come down?

EDITOR:

When fuel, especially diesel, was sky high, the public was told grocery prices were increased due to higher fuel cost of truckers. I see diesel fuel has lowered, but I see no reduction in grocery prices. On the contrary, except for weekly specials, there are still increases in groceries.

In conjunction with that, workers in every walk of life are being asked to take pay cuts, lose benefits, freeze wages, etc. Meanwhile, they’re trying to cope with higher prices for commodities, especially groceries. Something is very wrong with this picture when paychecks are slipping backward but prices for necessities are on fast-forward.

Who will straighten out this inequality? Is there someone or any organization whose job it is to monitor outrageous grocery pricing?
