I don't understand how everything works if I'm honest, so my question is will prices of food, fuel, energy and houses go back down eventually? And if prices do go down will places, who have had to increase costs due to rising costs, come back down again too? For example days out, childcare and holidays.
I am worried that companies will take advantage of the fact that, by the time prices may be able to go down, that everyone would have adapted and got used to struggling by then and will just keep prices as they are, if that makes any sense? I just can't imagine prices coming down again even if the reasons behind the rising costs resolves. Perhaps I'm being naive or overly sceptical. Are there examples of this sort of thing happening in the past and prices coming back down again or are we in unchartered territory?
