P&G price increase coming soon. Heads up!

Carmie — Sun, 23 Jan 2022 01:51:26 GMT

I read today that P&G is raising their prices on Tide, Gain, liquid and dryer sheets, and scent beads along with some of their other products by about 5- 8% or more starting the end of January or early February.

Just a head's up if you use these products.

Also, included is General Mills cereals, and personal care products including infant and adult diapers, feminine intimate products, mouth wash, Crest toothpaste, Charmin TP, facial tissues and Vicks and flu meds, Metamucil and Pepto Bismol.

Time to clip those coupons and use them asap if you use anything made by Proctor and Gamble and General Mills.

It's just getting too much. Every time I turn around something is going up. When is it going to end?! It's really bad for people on fixed incomes especially...like I am.

i am glad i am not devoted to any of the PandG products mentioned. i will easily switch to a different brand if they pricing gets too out of control.

I didn't think General Mills cereals were made by Procter & Gamble.

What else is new, everything keeps going up and up. I live alone and went grocery shopping on Friday, I spent $100 and got nothing!

Oops, it's not. It is General Mills. General Mills, Fresh Pet and

McCormick and Co are raising prices too.

I heard that Coke is raising their prices too due to a shortage of aluminum cans and increased prices.

How long before the " others " raise their prices ? They won't let their competition get too far ahead !

I honestly don't think it will make a difference what brand you buy. When one company raises their prices, the other ones will do the same. They all are facing the same problems.

I plan to stock up on the things I use most often and try to use coupons when I run out.

We went to the grocery store yesterday. When my DH goes, he just buys what he wants and doesn't look at prices.

He picked up a multi pack of small 12 oz. bottles of Coke Zero. Those 8 small bottles were $8.79. I had a fit when I saw that, but he out voted me.

He better make them last. I'm not buying any more at that price and not inviting him to go shopping with me.

oh i have no doubt that others will raise their prices.

there will always be competition......and then i will probably always buy the one that is cheaper in these particular product lines. i am not "married" to any one brand in the items mentioned.

@Carmie

increasing prices are always a "thing" in every product category. when have you known them to be stagnant or reduced permanently?

there are ALWAYS many alternatives to PG brands......and there is ALWAY something cheaper. i am also a big shopper at sams club and BJs.....where they are often cheaper than getting these products at the grocery stores.

@Carmie - maybe he'll go on his own and buy them.

That price is ridiculous though. I'm a big Coke Zero Cherry fan and fortunately, my grocery store does buy 2 get 1 or 2 free frequently. I'll have to pay closer attention to the price. I was shocked at the price you posted.

I feel you. My DH is the worst when it comes to looking at prices. He once bought a $12.00 pineapple because all he looked at was the price per pound. He never thought to weigh it to see the total weight. He did admit to feeling ashamed on that one.

He's gotten a little better but I still have to remind him to look at the prices before he puts something in the cart.

@sunshine45

With certain products, I am stuck....DH prefers a certain no scent product. When they discontinue it, then change will occur.

Too many other things to deal with now though !

I've seen inflation in my time, and soaring interest rates, and we're in for it.

@Sooner hopefully, change is in the air.
