Apartment rents are up. So are prices for restaurant meals, haircuts, gym memberships and a cup of coffee.
For consumers who have become used to flat or even falling prices for years, an unfamiliar sight has emerged in many corners of the economy: Inflation is ticking up.

Survey: What is your rent right now?
You know it’s getting bad when you have rent a haircut
LOL. The ass press is just noticing this??!! This has been happening for the last seven years, but the ass press just decided to report on it. What a bunch of clueless scoundrels!
Bush's FaultTM
my rent has gone up for 20 years in a row.
Don’t forget the white mans tax on tanning sessions.
Where has this guy been? Prices have sky rocketed since QE started under Obozo.
The beer I rent has gone up in price too!
It seems that no one at the Asinine Presstitutes have been shopping for groceries, office supplies, cars or anything else for that matter!
If they are “reporting” this it must be on orders from the White House. A Fed rate increase on the way?
My pay is what is what 20 years ago. I didn’t want to take such a cut at an established employer but nothing else was open when I needed it.
Hoping to get on elsewhere while I have at least some money coming in (it’s half of what I need).
Checked with one former employer who listed a job. Former co-worker says they are down to a staff of 100 in this city. Fortunately some other good positions appear to be open (including one I interviewed well for at a different company). My skills are a better match there, room for growth, much shorter commute (2 hour round trip for the current job), and more marketable skills to another company should I need to move on.
Thanks, Obama. < /sarc >
i have noticed a sharp increase in groceries.
I buy for 1 person, me. But it is rare to get out of the store for less than $100.
It’s for the middle class don’tcha know??
Same story in Australia. Very high prices for essential items.
food and fuel do not count in the inflation rate.
WTF?
Shit, look at that price of a new table..../s
It is all fixed.
you gotta hand it too them, they held to the lie for 6 years.
WTF? Do these MORONS at the AP not live lives where they need to consume ANYTHING?
Un-freakin’-believable that they’re just noticing...NOW!
Bush’s Fault! *SMIRK*
It has been painful doing the grocery shopping for the last several years.
Even the cheap stores are expensive now. Basic ground beef, chicken e.t.c. have gone up quite a lot.
only gasoline has dropped in price over the last couple of years. Everything else is UP
I haven’t noticed the increase in the price of haircuts.But then I have cut my own since I got out of the AF in 1970. Now with a lot less to cut it takes me 5 minutes if I linger as I don’t have so much to cut anymore.
