While I have noticed my grocery bill is more, when buying the same things, I've notice this price jump somewhere else as well.
Latex gloves.
Because of this pandemic, the cost of gloves has literally tripled.
I'm in the dairy industry now for work. All the farms we service, buy gloves. I'm on the payables side of it, so I see what we pay for them, compared to what they were, just one year ago. A box of gloves that was 6.40 our cost, is now over 19.00. And we see it from 3-4 different vendors.
That, along with the parts for repairs going up, is going to affect dairy prices, as I'm sure it is going to affect other Ag industries.
And will they go back down to normal, in say a year from now? I would hope so, but I doubt it.
