Its not neccesarily a limit but in econmics there is the concepts of

Optimal pricing.

There comes a point where you can price yourself out of having an effective long term business, which is what most shareholders care about.

Food prices are naturally coming down thanks to inflation coming down. Energy prices would also bring down prices of ALOT of things.
