Official "Shit's Getting Expensive!" Thread! Post Examples Here!

Also hard to get,
I ordered some lowering springs for my Porsche and was told they’d be here in 3 weeks.
I month later I checked and they told me sorry another 6 or 7 months ( from Germany )…I then cancelled

Steak-umms.
It’s crazy. :)

Went from having steak once a week, to once a month. Went from brisket once a month to just Christmas. Damn.

Tip or handout to panhandlers used to be two bucks. It’s five now.

I've always beat rockauto prices at eBay, except once Walmart online supplied a headlight switch, AC Delco.

Antifreeze ... $16 for concentrate.

Small utility trailer, was $1250, now $1799 .. on sale!

Those old Broncos are sweet. I'd restore it and use it for a daily driver.

What province? I hear from acquaintances in Quebec that GMC/Chevy Trucks are almost impossible to get. (FWIW, they are also talking about self-sufficiency and getting back to the land. Quebecois are usually in a bubble (in a self-reliant way) and don't react to everything that is going on in the Anglophone world, but now they even talk of Biden and crap happening in USA.)

Queen Anne Cordial Cherrys are up nearly $0.40 U.S this year . They have a shelf life of about three years so I'm going to stock up on a few hundred box's next week .

Thank you!

My older dog's food costs me 40 bucks a bag, yeah it's not a cheap brand, but he's my bud and I'm keepin him around as long as possible.

Brisket cost me 17 bucks a pound to smoke. Nothing special at all, just a plain old brisket!

I love PBR, my fav beer of all time, should be cheap, 20 bucks for a 30 pack.

I bought 2 packs of lump charcoal online, good stuff, now it cost me 85 bucks with free delivery.

This shit better come down. I won't move, can't. It's just that this is insane.

Replica trunk lid for my 1970 Dodge Challenger was $400 1 month ago, now $580...

Mine too. Unfortunately as property becomes more valuable, the more they raise the taxes.

I no longer pay them in full. I pay some reasonable amount on them every month to keep them from going into foreclosure which will result in an amount we can't pay, which is what they really want.

Same with the power co. Every winter I get them to give me an installment plan and pay on it monthly. Then in the spring and summer, when we need way less, I keep making the payments and then start over in the winter.

Alcohol and drugs eat up a lot of money, we don't have that expense at all. If you feel you need it, try budgeting. People can make their own if they really want to.

People need to learn how to cook. For supper we made pasta with beef strips, (organic) 7 dollars, onion, garlic, tomato soup, for two, about 10 dollars. Oranges, cocoa, coffee as needed.
I really think this mess is going to go on for about 4 more years at least, but all we have to do is persevere until the end, whatever that is.

You lost me at Miracle Whip...
I can't do High Fructose Corn Syrup "sweet" mayo at any price...

Already did, then I bought four take-offs at $100 each. They're $140-169 each right now.

Walnuts for my banana bread $8.79Lb

Roll your own if it's legal in Canada. After the cigarette machine, it's less than a $1US per pack. 5 lbs of pipe tobacco is like $56,the tubes are about $39, plus shipping it's roughly $110 and will make about 125 packs. You can get good quality tobacco cheaper at jrcigars dot com, but they don't have the brand my husband prefers so I pay more. They are also better for you than commercial cigarettes. Makes it much cheaper to stock up too.

Could get Brisket or Chuck roast on sale last year for $2.99lb on a pretty consistent basis. Now it's $4.99lb when on sale.

I purchased a 5 gallon propane tank for $29.99 on friday.. Went back in tuesday to buy one more and they have jumped to $58.99

Went to buy some slacks and a blouse for work at JC Pennys…nope nada they had old lady sweaters and hoochie mama clothes. Yoga pants and sweatpants were in abundance but No slacks or blouses. So I tried Macy’s same shit. I asked the sales girl what was going on? She said they were scraping the bottom of the barrel for clothes. She told me the only way to buy the slacks were online!!!! I went online and low and behold they had tons of Business casual clothes. A pair of grey slacks were $67 forget it. I went to the local thrift store and bought 3 pair and a few blouses for $50 bucks. Even that was kinda high. They want us to shop online for everything!!!!! I refuse I will buy my clothes from yard sales and thrift stores from now on.
I forgot to mention all the clothes were beige and browns at both JCPennys and Macy’s. So weird???

I'm a fabricator and lots of my parts/supplies went up greatly......in 1 week my vendor doubled the price on some items.....prices went up so much and fast that I was undercharging my customers.....some things were delayed shipping for months so I have to cannibalize old units for parts.....

That is under 2 bucks. Looks like mexico is the place to be.

-I just need shocks, struts and a new windshield.

'just'... Just get a new vehicle you bum. If you live in America and can't make money... use your imagination because what I have to say about that would be censored.

Was considering replacing a tired car battery (Yuasa 7027) ready for winter...

Back in September 2021 Yuasa 7027 Ebay price hovered around £65
December 2021 managed to locate one seller at £76 most wanted over £80 for same Yuasa 7027 battery.

Stanchion tubes for Yamaha FJR a year ago £200 for a pair, now £240.

$8.99 miracle whip, $4.99 iceberg lettuce, $2.50 for 1 tomato! This is at the local most convenient grocery store, band I refuse to pay that much for blt fuxins. Oh yeah- bacon there is $11 lb.

Don't hate me because I'm stern.

And will eat them!

Commonsense tells us that dumping trillions more dollars into the economy right now (via BBB) will make the inflation crisis worse, and we certainly don’t need 87,000 more IRS agents harassing regular folks.

I went to buy a new filled 20 pound propane tank for my grill and it was $64, it used to be $46 a few months ago.

I also noticed a 12 pack of canned dog food went from a little over $10 to a little over $13 in the last few months.

Both of those are an over 30% increase.

As a vegetarian, I eat a lot of beans. For ease, I buy canned. Cannelloni beans are difficult to find, if not impossible.

Today the vegetarian refried beans I normally buy were $1.39 a can. Four months ago, they were $1.20, and I could sometimes snag them on sale for a 1.00. Not anymore. I am lucky If I can even find them.

Hub and I went out for one last restock on non-perishables. Everything we purchased was at least .10 cents more. We have been stocking up due to higher prices every week.

My electricity bill this time of year is normally $85.00, it was $160.00, and I have less people living with me since the kids are gone.

I have no idea how we keep our head above water if this continues.
