It’s not only getting more expensive to buy a home. It’s also getting much costlier to furnish a home.
The price of household furniture jumped 1.2 percent in July, according to Producer Price Index data released Thursday. Compared with a year ago, the index for home furniture is up nine percent.
A broader category that includes furniture and other household durable goods is up 7.2 percent, the largest gain since 1980.
This is not a category showing big annual gains due to a dip in prices last year. Prices for household durables actually rose last summer. But over the last six months, they have been on an unending inflationary climb.

Cartuhflation led to REAGANOMICS!
I call this winning.
Bought Oreo’s last week and there were 8 empty slots where cookies should have been.
Back door inflation.
The media is going to ignore it, one finger joe is going to deny it.
Canned Hunts spaghetti sauce: same price, same size, but they have diluted it so much, might as well just buy tomato juice.
I don’t know but we spent $172 at the grocery last week, which is about $60-$70 more than usual. Granted, we got a few higher cost items (coffee, cat litter, laundry detergent), but it still seemed outrageous, especially since we got almost no meat. Pretty standard 10% increases lately on the store brand products (which are generally priced better than the name brands....).
Joe looks so ‘death-like’ in that picture. Did he just climb out of his casket after his Delaware vacation?
We are back into lockdown. It’s fun to live in a quasi Soviet State.
Yeah. Great deal. You can spend your money as you see fit, and we will spend our fiat money as we see fit. Sorry sucker.
You want the politicians and the media to deny it.
Because, once they finally acknowledge it, they will start the blame game and demonization of others.
Then price controls.
Then rationing.
That is how the dirtbags roll...
(I take it you mean the cookie shelving) Been seeing that a lot in a local WalMart, in everyday items. Large gaps, two-three feet wide in some shelves. OK, there's been a damaging frost in Brazil, but their ENTIRE coffee section was stripped clean - reminded me of the toilet paper mania.
And not only scarcities, but their delivery system - in the last three weeks, three out of four on-line orders were shipped to wrong out of state cities. The other is listed as delayed (canned /sliced potatoes, sliced carrots and beets, etc. Hardly exotic foods.)
In the Package
Indeed more freezer money in the long run.
The Junta is trying to destroy the middle class to advance the Communist Revolution. I’ve been predicting Inflation worse than the Carter years based on the money supply. The worst is coming soon.
And somehow they will blame this inflation disaster on Trump and the Republicans The Praetorian Guard has their orders
OK - That’s a new one. I’ve run into half-filled cans but never that.
Ah yes, the good ol’ Jimmuh Carter days...
