My neighbor says he's had to tap into his 401K to keep his family afloat.
I keep hearing the msm repeat that "Bidenomics" is working. My grocery bill, gas for my car (≈$5.25/gallon in California) , utility bill and all other recent bills say otherwise.
There is also shrink-flation - where ordinary products are getting smaller and smaller and smaller and costing more $$.
Examples:
Frito-Lay shrank bags of some of its Dorito's from 9.75 ounces to 9.25 ounces.
Gatorade redesigned its 32 ounces bottle to be "more aerodynamic and it's easier to grab," a representative told Quartz in March. The new design holds 28 ounces – a 14% drop.
Pizza giant Domino's said in January that it would be cutting down the number of chicken wings in its $7.99 national promotion from 10 to eight.
Earlier this year, Burger King reduced the number of chicken nuggets in its $4.49 meals from 10 pieces to eight.
Walmart Great Value Paper Towels dropped from 168 sheets per roll to only 120, while the price stayed the same.
Hefty's mega pack went from 90 bags to 80 bags, at the same price.
