Air-conditioned prices up from last summer... MY MEANING IS air-conditioner prices up!
Gasoline.
Bread and circuses ... except bread is up too.
This impacts both your gas bill and your electricity bill.
The Feds have been expanding the money supply at 38% a year. The market catch’s up sooner or later.
Just had my AC replaced and was twice as much as last time.. 6500 for a mobile hime AC.. Cheaper than my roof.. Gonna buy my parents a new TV for Christmas.. yay:
We should go back the the massive economic collapse NOW. It was all so much better a year ago!
Everything is up. Expectations are down.
I was just fixing my toaster — a 70 year old Sunbeam Radiant Control Toaster. I could not afford to buy one of these today. My parents bought one. I make more than my parents ever did, according to the government, the lying bastard government. The toaster is okay, it just needed a thorough cleaning.
Convenience store/Drug Store candy cars up 10-50 cents for a regular size (Was $1.19, now $1.39-$1.59 @ CVS/Circle K/Walgreens/QT etc.).
Aldi is starting to raise prices - cream, beef, milk & eggs come to mind.
Shortages are a big problems. The luggage section of Wal-Mart was almost empty yesterday. Sewing machines have long been scarce. Plants are in short supply.
Businesses are not going to spend big money to expand to meet temporary demand created by unsustainable government spending.
Whatever the price, avoid Chinese. Honda outboards are now being made in China.
Beef is up- when you can get it...
I’ve hardly found ribs anywhere here in the supermarkets and when i do they suck and are usually twice as expensive per pound compared to a year ago.
Price of fruit is also up. Blueberries here are up 25%.
Tires, if you can find them. Uniroyals unavailable nation wide, had to settle for Coopers.
The general rule, and the problem with our economy for the last thirty years, is that things made in The USA (food, cars, housing) get more expensive while things made in China get less expensive (clothing, electronics, toys).
Due to excessive heat, drought and low water supplies, I know that hay production in southern oregon and north Northern California has been hit hard. Cattle are being sold off now. Remaining hay will rise in price as the summer moves into fall. Beef prices will go up.
At my local BJs Wholesale the price of whole pork loin went from $1.79 a pound to $2.39. I make that 34%.
Livestock feed is skyrocketing, $2-3 per 50lb bag, I sell eggs and chicken and egg cartons up 3 cents per carton, lumber is out past the moon and heading to deep space, metal roofing and sheeting doubled in price..
If you cultivate the sales a various stores you can keep your prices somewhat in line.
The only thing that seems unavoidable is the skyrocketing price of meat.
Spectricide weed killer $34 gallon last September, $52.00 right now.
Forget the price increases as they are automatic and look for shortages. My New Balance walking shoes have worn out and I can’t find new ones in my size. Is this “Introduction To Socialism 101”?
