Our suppliers are already warning of impending price increases and potential product shortages. We see it with every ripple in the weather as well as with the social unrest in so many cities. Some of it is clearly legitimate, and some of it is unscrupulous suppliers simply charging more for product they purchased on future pricing months ago. There's almost always another choice from whom to buy from in each category, but by and large our prices at the store level reflect our ever-increasing cost of doing business.
