He bought two cans of tomato sauce, just to be safe. Multiply that across thousands of households every day, and you have an economics problem worth understanding.
As the singular inelastic shopper since 2020 (probably earlier, but at least then), the thought never crossed my mind that my bi-weekly $150 trip was different than my $125 trip simply due to price swings. The products I buy are usually quite similar though every now and again we'll need something less perishable that finally needs to be replaced, and I always just assumed those were the differences. I'll have to check now to see how my usual products start swinging.
I notice the YouGov poll asks about who does what, and who enjoys what, but not whether the respondents even cared about that particular chore getting done at all. "Women do more dusting" is meaningless if they're the only ones who care about dust.
