Just went to do my usual shopping trip tonight. Several of my frequently purchased items had increased!

The chex mix is back at $1.50
The propel is .89
There were so many other ones I noticed at been increased as well.

Does any one know if they have certain times of the month or year that they change prices?

Also, they were out of a lot of items too, does anyone know when they restock? Do they do it every day or once a week or what?

Mine seems to be stocking anytime I stop by in the evening.

I'm not sure exactly when the prices change, but I have noticed that they seem to fluctuate alot. When something is a sale price, it usually says the dates on a little sign.

from the FAQ thread

Prices change right before the 1st and 16th - WHY ?

I was there (Luke) yesterday morning & noticed the same thing. Product shortages, skyrocketing price increases etc. No KY or Monistat - unable to get product in from supplier they say. Food prices are going up everywhere though so we'd better be working on durable goods in our stockpiles.

I to have noticed this trend of prices increasing at the 1st and 15th of the month so I try to go around the 7th and 21st of the month. Mine also has had specials every wednesday....

I ran in for a few things last week and noticed several of the items were more expensive than they were a couple of weeks earlier. I usually try to go around around the 7th to 10th of the month but I am not sure if that is the best time. I just try to avoid military paydays due to the crowd.
