Price Pendulum Swings Back to Discounts, Within Limits
Briefly

U.S. consumers, fatigued by a three-year bout of inflation, want lower prices. Large retailers like Walgreens, Target, Michael's, and Ikea are responding to customer concerns by lowering prices on popular items, aiming to ease inflation in the coming months. Retailers realize the need to adjust pricing to meet customer expectations as shopping behaviors change post-pandemic.
