5% my hiney. The same buggy of groceries that cost $150 in spring is $200 now.
Very true, and then some.
Examples: I've observed a gallon of a quality name-brand chocolate milk has gone from $3.69 a gallon last year to currently $6.49 a gallon.
Real Cheese: Package of 24 single slices from $2.59 to 4.19 a package. My point: For every $6.28 I used to spend.. I must now spend nearly $10.68 for the same product, same content.. all thanks to inflation.
