No matter what they say about inflation and prices increasing, I don’t buy it
The list, ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
My litmus test is a pint can of that terrific Fosters Premium Ale: Two months ago $1.50, last month: $1.59, yesterday $1.69.
I started saving more of my own seeds this year, after seeing the price of some varieties jump 70% since last year.
I have a great big pile of string bean seeds drying right now :)
So, I wonder what excuse Bozo will use this year in order to not pay SS recipients their COLAs. Two years in a row he has said there was no inflation(lying through his frickin’ teeth)because they didn’t count food(the #1 necessity of life)and fuel(perhaps #3 on the necessity list, maybe #2).
