Gas is way up here-$4.00 or close to it-even in this rural area-I’ve put some “I did that” stickers on gas pumps-and most already had at least one on it-no one is getting pissed or calling the sheriff over that here-I guess we are all realists with a sense of dark humor...
I don’t eat take-out/precooked/processed food-only buy and cook fresh-we are lucky most veggies are produced organically, in this state-same with the grass fed/free range meat, so it is not as expensive as factory farm and feedlot stuff-but it is still high-80-20 ground beef is up $1 per lb in 2 months, ribeye steaks are 12.99 per lb on “special”-even chicken legs are up nearly $1 per lb, and pork chops a king’s ransom. Fresh veggies like spinach, kale, mustard greens are $1.69 per bunch-up from $1.29 in about 5 weeks- brussels sprouts, broccoli, etc can’t be touched for less than 2.49 lb. The local organic farm-to-table restaurant is not affordable right now, either-bummer-and it is the beginning of the tourist season here, too-business is really going to be down for all of us-lets go Brandon...
You’re doing better on the inflation front than we are. Congrats!
Funny how I like spinach but detest kale. Ha!
