Thank goodness I get my coffee from Thailand, Laos, and occasionally Indonesia.
Everything is lining up to create the perfect storm of inflation.
The final 7 years are being set up.
The price of everything “jumps” under Dementia Joe.
Good ole Putin “strikes” again. Chuckle.
And almost there, IMO.
What does that mean? Is it a biblical reference?
Yep
This supposedly happened back in July of last year.

Just keep prepping, folks. Buy a little more each and every week and do not stop.
Given how much people are willing to pay for the tiny plastic capsules, the price of the raw beans must not matter much.
My coffee has gone up three dollars per can since I posted that last year.
What percentage of the can price is that?
About 30%. $8 to $11.
But thats pretty close to the price increases for a lot of things in the supermarket, roughly 25%.
From $6 to $9 bucks a can and the cans are 50% smaller. Do the math.
On the plus side a lot of people like myself will never be able to function in the morning without a few cups of coffee. This is turn will save a lot of fuel as people won’t be able to leave their house to go to work.
Ah the old sneaky shrink flation. I notice that a lot. Same price but the size went from 12 oz to 10 or 9 oz.
I buy the 28 oz bag of Starbucks for $15.50. That was $12.50 last year, same size.
