Well, gas went down 10¢/gal this week at the Circle K station. Ditto milk at the supermarket. And the price of Barefoot Wine never did increase. Based on the items that did increase, I suspect a whole lot of price gouging by businesses that could get away with it - gas being the top of the list.

"...price gouging by businesses that could get away with it..."
Oh, no, Eva. Say it ain't so. You're burstin' my bubble here!!! They wouldn't actually do something like *that*, would they? Why, it's positively un-patri...uh, un-Ameri...uh...unfai...uh...never mind.
I think in light of the "get away with it" part, 'understandable' might have been the word I was looking for there. And, I might add rather sadly, not unexpected.
And though slowing or stopping inflationary pressures may be a good thing--- having lived through many inflationary periods--- I doubt that we will see the prices of anything go down significantly.
Worse might be coming. RE prices have been increasing wildly like they did under Bush 2. Yesterday, I saw an article that implied the bubble might be bursting again.
