I'm not an economist, but it might be worth trying to distinguish between the effects of inflation and straight-up price gouging. It seems to me that for food (and water jugs), companies keep raising prices knowing that people have to eat (and drink). And few people in this country grow/raise enough food on their own to be able to sidestep that.
