[If you believe inflation is 3%, I have a bridge I can sell to you.]
Yep.
Just the soda pop I buy as a 2 liter went from 96 cents to $1.62.
Gee, that seems like a lot more than 3%.
Everything else is up substantially, too.
A couple of months ago my friend and I got BBQ sandwiches with fries. We both got a soda. He got an order of baked beans on the side.
$42.
Yikes.
Ate dinner with the same gentleman last night. 2 orders of Sweet and Sour Chicken. Small eggroll included and white rice. 2 orders of Crab Rangoon. No drinks included on tab as they were complementary.
$40.
I remember when you could eat for $10-$12 a person.
I figured Social Security would go up about 5.9% this year.
Guess we’ll find out.
