This is nonsense. According to the Consumer Price Index, inflation is negligible.

It’s certainly not something the media is talking about.

My guess is that EBT cards and WIC will soon have increases. I won’t have any increases in my pay but I’ll get to help pay for those that sit on their welfare collecting azzes.

"...for suppliers I would recommend Steve Quayle who has been a reputable source for over 20 plus years or mypatriotsupply.com..."

That's Steve Quayle as in the one who is a regular on C2CAM and Infowars? That Steve Quayle?

But I guess it's silly to ask you a question like that.
It doesn't look like replying to comments is your strong suit:

...grocery stores make about one or two cents for every customer who walks through the door.

Bull crap. Let's see the statistics to back that up.

Supermarket chains have a profit margin of around 1%. So, if everyone only spends a buck or two, then the "one or two cents" statement would be true.

And how many customers would you estimate a typical supermarket gets on any given day? 10,000 tops? 10,000/100 = $100 a day.(??)

Yes food prices are sky rocketing right along with growth in food stamps. A family of 4 can receive around $840 per month in food stamps. They have no incentive to save any of it, so they go on a buying binge. When you see an overloaded shopping cart, watch how they pay for it at the checkout.

Most customers will spend over $100 on a cart... more like $200-$300. So, the net profit is $1-$3 per customer. That's net profit... after expenses and taxes.

It used to be more like 2-3% until the late 1970's, but labor costs drove it down to the 1% neighborhood. It's all about volume in the supermarket business.

No! Please! Embarrass yourself.

We'll all laugh, make merciless fun of you and then forget about it tomorrow.
