,,, for some time our household has been stocking up on extra cans, rice and other non-perishables, buying extra each time we shop. It’s better than money in the bank.

I remember buying a sixpack of beer for 15 cents.

I recall generic beer being $1.50 back in the early 80s. How old are you - 200?

Yes, gas prices are not up. They have been stable for the last month, down about $0.30 from one year ago.

Remember last year how many food processing facilities caught fire last year? Egg farms? Meat packing plants?

It all has to be timed to have the economy crater during October 2026, to ensure the rise of House Speaker Hakeem “Don’t I look like Obama?” Jeffries.

It's almost as if the government has been printing money to keep illegals in 5-star luxury hotels with free phones and transportation!

What does not kill me ...

I am loving this price inflation at grocery store. Yes I am of glass half full type.
Now I am more selective in buying only healthy foods. Hardly ever buy cakes & pies. Instead of potatoes I buy sweet potatoes. They are loaded with vitamin A and more fiber than potatoes.
Result of eating healthy is I have shed many pounds and my A1C is dropping. So is blood pressure. This is going to save me hospital & doctor & prescription bills in future.

Prices will go as energy cost go. It’s that simple. If Trump truly is tapping into our energy prowess as he claims, then prices will drop. Not complicated.

Yes...for decades.

Also interesting is the fact that they sell more chicken noodle soup than tomato...by a lot.

That article is crap. The prices here in southeast PA. have stabilized and are on a slow downward trend. Even in our purple state the prices are down, except in Philthy and Sh!tsburg.

Supply and demand. Millions of illegals on the dole put upward pressure on goods, utilities, water, schools, etc.

Not to worry, ceo Larry Fink of Blackrock which invests in utilities and buys up 10’s of thousands of homes at higher prices and in bulk to rent is now the head of the WEF.

He is one of those that have caused the prices to rise as his company makes money selling investments so the utilities go up in price and home prices are much higher as there are not enough to go around due to restrictions on building homes (probably by him paying off politicians) and illegals occupying millions of homes.

He will lower prices.... yeah sure...

California, Oregon, and Washington have been at war with all producers of food, fuel, and forestry. That doesn’t just affect the poor people that live there.

I deliver mail and Amazon. I see no slow down in the spending, even amongst my poorest customers. It’s not just Amazon though. There’s shipping with the post office. Temu and Shien. People have plenty of money for stuff.

Did that include the free glass to add to your matching drinking glasses you were collecting with fill-ups?

Thank Al Gore for the internet, otherwise Michael Snyder would be on a street corner holding a sign about the world ending tomorrow on one side and Jesus is coming on the other.

People around here used to say, if you go somewhere in your car this time of year, dont forget to lock your doors while you’re doing your errands, you might find your car full of zucchini when you get back to it if you dont!
