Many years ago the price of potato's doubled overnight due to a shortage, although they were plentiful in the shops. After that, due to crop damage there was a shortage of coffee beans, so the priced increased by 50%, but the shelves were never empty.
Now, bread has doubled in price because of a bad summer, but the shelves are full of bread. Can someone explain this to me, why the price increase at all.
