"After the holidays" is already here and with it the expected wave of price increases.

Although we are at the peak of price increases that started at the end of summer, it seems that the prices will only continue to rise.

The beginning of the wave was last summer, when food importing giants such as Diplomat announced that it would raise the prices of the products it imports such as Tuna Starkist Oreo and Ariel after the holidays.

The Snow company also announced at the beginning of the month that it will increase its paper products, including paper towels and napkins for entertaining.

The holiday sales reduced the price increases a bit, but the big price increase is expected to happen, symbolically, precisely on election day, November 1st: on this date, the prices of Tara and Gad Dairy products as well as Diplomat and Kimberly Clark products are expected to increase.
