The gas prices are better, but that’s it! A trip to the grocery this morning cost $176 bucks. That’s for 2 people, and 1 dog and no steak and few fresh vegetables I can assure you. Chicken and hamburger only. There was a $10. item that was not crucial but everything else will be consumed or used in the next week or 10 days and I will do it all over again. This is insane.
Just buy the cheap cereal.
I am amazed on how they figure inflation. Stuff is up over 100% on a lot of things like lumber, fuel, some groceries, even silicone caulking is now over $10 a tube up from about $30.
Just topped off my fuel tank. 309 gallons at $5.699 a gallon. Bill of over $1,700.
ummm excuse me, but, slowdown does not mean prices going back down... inflation is still up just it’s delta has changed
I just returned from our small town grocery store. A case of 5 dozen eggs was “temporarily price reduced” to $26.
I know the prices suck folks.
Would you be happier with deflationary policies?
What I’ve read about multi year deflation in history...... is its a real bitch. The last time it happened was 1938-1939 since then, we’ve had 3 deflationary years 1949,1955, & 2009.
Nobody wanting your labor is a humbling experience.
Nobody wanting to buy from you is a humbling experience.
Losing your home or business is a humbling experience.
Not being able to pay your creditors is a humbling experience.
Watching your retirement income evaporate is a humbling experience.
I’m not justifying the current level of economic stupidity, its ridiculous. Just saying the answers aren’t always simple.
