Don’t worry.

It’s transitory.

Maybe World War III will fix everything...

Unexpected! Bull chit. It will unexpected when inflation return in America too. It’s guaranteed to return and it’s guaranteed to be unexpected. These eff’n morons do not understand that all the causes of inflation have not been fixed. Interest rates alone will not fix the economy.

I’ve started making my own pizzas at home. All the pizza places around me have gotten too expensive, and the quality has gotten so terrible I end up looking for something to get the taste out of my mouth.

Pizza dough is easy enough to make, especially with a breadmaker. And you can shape it, freeze it, then wrap it in plastic to store in the freezer. With the crust ready and frozen, I can assemble and bake a pizza in about the same time it would take for delivery to arrive. I calculated once, and depending on the toppings, my homemade pizzas were $0.50-$1.75 each, and the quality is much better than the restaurants in my area.

Not sure if that’s an option for you, but it might be worth considering.

Yes they are not succeeding. Maybe its all that new spending, like so called inflation budgets.
