The local Walmart Grocery currently has 18-count of regular eggs at $5.36.
A couple of years ago, that same 18-count was running about $1.25.
But as soon as that Inflation Reduction Act kicks in ...
CNN pushed the BS that inflation was ‘transitory’. They’ve always been cucks. So F’em.
Not to worry our politicians are still living like their is no tomorrow..while telling us there is no tomorrow unless we keep giving them trillions of dollars to “save the planet” wink wink.
The politicians are living like there is no tomorrow in more ways than one.
All this financial talk will be meaningless if the warmongers keep us on this path to nuclear exchange. Im 49, lived through the cold war. I lived right between 3 high priority cold war bases all through my kid years. I am actually getting pretty freaked out how close we are to nuclear war. I caught myself watching the ducks flying south yesterday and the bees pollinating the flowers the other day, thinking, I don’t want to lose this. We can’t be this close to nuclear war because of the corrupt left leaning war mongers in washington.

That’s right. Ten or twelve dollars an hour just isn’t attracting any help these days. So businesses must up wages, and then increase prices accordingly.
Another wonderful example of the Biden Effect.
Perhaps they’ll all lose their homes due to inflation and you’ll get new neighbors?
My grocery store had butter on sale at $3.50 this week. I bought 4 lbs. Will keep one in the freezer. The date was sometime in February, so it’ll hold until I use it.
Silly. This all caused by Putin and is actually a good thing.
The other day I had to ‘buy’ lunch. I stopped in at a Panera. There was a Now Hiring sign out front offering $24 per hour.
When I went inside to pay for a half-sandwich and bowl of tomato soup, costing well over $12...the little screen to pay asked if I wanted to add a ‘tip.’
I dunno, I just couldn’t bring myself to ‘tip’ before service. I find I have been getting far more resentful about things lately. But something about making $24 an hour to make a sandwich and microwave some soup just really irked me. Add onto that as I went to take a seat, none of the tables were even clean.
As a manager of a business, I watched the staff for a while. Some hustling and working hard, others standing around.
Irked and disappointed at the same time.
Wonderful, as eggs are my number one most consumed food…
I remind my wife to stock up on anything she sees.
I explain:
“We live in a third world country where chronic shortages and wacko rising prices are now normal—I call it “New Bidenland”.
Okey dokey
Our nearest neighbor (here in the sticks) raises chickens and is constantly begging us to take some of the eggs.
They figured out that a dozen chickens produce more eggs than one family can eat.
;-)
I eat 36 eggs a week.
Supermarket last week wanted $4 a dozen for eggs… not anything special nor brown, not cage free, just regular eggs
Walmart still had em around $2 which was still close to 100% higher than they were before the illegitimate administration took over
$8 bucks for a pound of bacon!
Giving the TDS crowd too much credit and assumes they've capacity for critical thought.
Actually wings have come down in price (somehow) - at markets anyway. Yet to see a drop in restaurant prices. I bought some raw wings at my local Italian market on sale for $1.99/lb. last week (5 lb. minimum).
The restaurants probably think it is a temporary drop in price is my best guess.
All we are missing is “wage and price” controls, 17% mortgage rates and Iran capturing an embassy.
Toss in gas rationing for good measure.
