f~k the Official numbers, Just got back from the grocerty store, I'd say Most everything is up 50-100% from 18 months ago

During the height of the corn season, here local corn was selling 3 for $2.59 you might be purchasing Monsanto crap corn and you might consider looking at the code before purchasing.

Milk prices generally rise the least however bread and other items contain less if the price is about the same or little higher in cost you need to compare weights.

My bread machine sits on the counter more than put away. I make healthy dog biscuits (3 of them), sub sandwich rolls (shape and freeze, to thaw later and rise), have done the same for hot dog buns and hamburger buns. Croutons... So many things you can make, and save money while you are at it.

Yeah, I got my letter and laughed my ass off. Now I'm crying.

This is just the start, I've noticed the same thing. Inflation (sorry Stagflation) is rearing it's head up and eventually I believe we will have something called Hyperstagflation in the near future.

it's because they doubled our wages. *cough*

energy +30%, food about +40%
the same game on this side of the pond, not to mention the madmen oil prices.

gimme the 90ies back.

definetely. i paid 2 bucks for a gallon of milk a few months ago. now is $5 and up. eggs are double, the bottles of soap at the dollar store are half the size of what they used to be, etc etc

Hell they even give me less food in restaurants nowadays.

Don't foods at the grocery store if you don't have to! It's all SHIT. local butchers have great meat and farmers markets are fresh.

The other day, I was at the grocery store and noticed regular size mayonaise was $6.79 - I turned to this random lady and showed it to her and said, "look, mayonaise costs $6.79 now..." She looked at the price tag on the shelf and suddenly started screaming, jumping up and down and half crying and then acting like she was gonna pass out. It was really weird.

eggs , oil, vinegar, spices + blender = mayo
at that $$$$$ no thanks !!

Too bad you didn't get her on video doing that. LOL

Buckhannon.

I was buying it for 99 cent a quart jar just 5 years ago.

Read the label on the grapes tonight. Looks like I can get arrested if I plant one of the seeds.

Oh I get it now.

eggs $2
oil $2
vin. $2
spice $2
----------
total $8 --------------Its a dollar cheaper ready made!

It's typically buy the same groceries every week. Bread, lunch meat, ground beef, canned veggies, cereal and milk. Some small changes every week but it's pretty static.

My weekly bill went from around 28 bucks a year and a half ago to roughly 42 now.

That's probably going to make a gallon.

I just use egg yolks, oil and fresh lemon juice. I'd guess the majority of modern food is just process chemicals.

Those who are saying this is not happening are LYING!! Do you really think that people are not noticing these price hikes?? And to say that these companies are not doing well are lying. and top of that...they are laying of employees too. They are taking advantage of the economic situation and acting like the companies are forced to raise their prices. Even Walmart is acting like they are struggling when they get the customers that cannot afford the prices at their preferred stores anymore and are forced to shop at Walmart.

This is just a freaking travesty that people are falling for what THEY are doing to the markets. The question is....WHERE IS ALL OF THE MONEY REALLY GOING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i had a thread about sobe life waters going from 1.00 to 1.33 last week. 33% increase for water. fuck em. don't buy it or anything else that gets jacked up.

you don't buy, they don't make money, and that lowers the price.

you have alternatives.

*THIS IS THE POLICE!*

*PUT DOWN YOUR GRAPES AND COME OUT WITH YOUR HANDS UP!*

I was considering that these items are staples in many households. not to metion the amonut that is possible.

Look to the bigger picture of food and how one can conserve.

NOT to metion that there are hundreds of other uses for these products...

It is a lovely place, until college starts and the dregs move in for the school year. Crime goes up while they're here. Once they're gone, crime drops back down again and it is somewhat peaceful for the summer.

I don't get why people think prices are skyrocketing in only big cities. It is happening everywhere. And if it hasn't hit you yet, it will, count on that.

olive oil is great in hair and for skin. much better than anything bought and doesn't make you greasy.

It's going to provide enough money for the employees to purchase the same price goods. In hyperinflation, only the bankers can afford anything. Look at what happened to Argentina during the late 80's.

Our inflation rate is very low if you discount the higher prices.


Ok look at it this way. Your food went up 10% and your house went down 10%. Average inflation is 0%.

It is also great for wooden furniture. Wipe it on then wipe off. Makes it look great.

Don't get me started on the higher prices for food these days!!


gonna get even worse too

everything is going up except my income
