Utter nonsense.
At Food City the Swagerty Hot Sausage Patties(Box of 18) used to sell
for $4.99 3 months ago. Recently the price was $8.99.
Don’t tell me inflation is not happening.
It has been going a long time...the amount you got was less and less for the same price..
Rib eyes steaks in Walmart...9.97 now 14.47...in six months
Exactly, anyone saying it’s not happening hasn’t shopped lately.
Meat in particular is through the roof.
You point out a one-time rise in one brand of sausage and say that proves inflation?
Ludicrous.
Relocated from desert AZ to TN in 2008. Noticed that food prices (particularly produce) were quite a bit higher than in AZ. Attributed it to location and supply chain issues as well as food being taxed. Living in TN still beats living anywhere else. No income tax, cost of utilities, etc. You can control the amount of food you buy. It’s so beautiful here. And my neighbors are awesome! Have never seen so many hard-working people. Funny thing—a large number of people who relocate here from urban areas go back to where they came from within five years. (At least that was true several years ago.) Go figure.
Beef and pork prices have skyrocketed.
A regular ol’ beef chuck roast is now $6.47 lb at Walmart. Before covid, they were $3-something.
A pork loin could be found on sale just above $1 lb but now they’re $4.36.
It’s not just food but everything else. Utilites have all gone up. We had to reduce cable service to the basic but somehow the monthly bill is higher with fewer channels than it was with more channels. Electric went up after the TX freeze. We had alternative heat so came through fine until the HIGH bill arrived.
Eggs at Food City were 49 cents a dozen a couple of weeks back...every month or so, the 80% ground beef goes on sale for $2.99 per pound...2% milk actually went DOWN to $1.99 recently...purchased asparagus for $1.49’lb yesterday...the deals are out there. :-)
