Baking potatoes last week $1.99/lb
Seems I remember they were half that amount a year ago.
8.5% inflation my rear end.
I’d like to see a thread with a running tab on electric and gas bill rate increases this winter. I’m still paying a very reasonable price for electric. When will the other energy shoe drop on us?
Inflation is a stealth tax……this is just stealth defunding the police. /s
As one guy said once, inflation is the cruelest tax of all.
Can’t afford a B-L-T Sandwich....................
I’m on the paleo diet as per my new surgeon until I get operated on.
Been months since I enjoyed Krispy Kreme sugar and lard.
Basics like meat and eggs and vegetables for me on what little I eat is obscene.
At least I have water…….
Me too.
I’m 67 and will retire in a couple more years..................or so I thought...................😒
I havent bought bacon for years it costs too much

Even Turkey Bacon is outrageous..............
Yep, millions of people in the same boat.
I got my turkeys from Meiers in Indiana last year while i was visiting friends 33 cents a pound
They were nearly $2 here i wasnt going to get any
This year no turkeys ...
You must celebrate that 25 cent decrease or the FBI may come knocking.
We went grocery shopping a couple of days ago, and when Mrs. fidelis saw the price for a loaf of bread, she refused to buy it. Forget it, she said, we’ll go without.
“I love turkey bacon”...says nobody.
BTW Unleaded Plus was $2.65 last Nov when I was in IN the same price here in TN
The end of July when I was in IN it was $4.85
Here's an anecdote from [yesterday] re that 'progress':
Great Value (Walmart) frozen skinless Alaskan salmon that was $12 for eight nice filets about a month ago is now $15 for a bag of four.
I utterly detest the communist bastards behind this national catastrophe !
I bought $142.00 worth of stuff at the Tile store a couple days ago. I knew the price was high for what I got and I noticed a $15 Srchg for... get this... Transportation/Energy!! (Transportation/Energy Srchg = $15.00) ya think an extra $15 per sale on top of raised prices is a nice little cushion for them!???
Companies, many of them, are milking this on all 4 tits...
I wouldn’t want to eat eggs all the time, but I sure wouldn’t want to have to go with out them. They pack protein and fats and vitimins.
How big of a patch would you need for a couple of hens without having to buy feed?
