I know it’s bad. I was telling guys in their 40’s about 6 for a dollar burgers, crappy but for five bucks my 7 brothers and sisters and family could eat fries, burgers and a malt for 10 bucks easy.
Now you get a burger, fries and a soda at any fast food place you’ll be paying 15 bucks, the cost of a full family meal in the late 60’s.
Closer to this time line, just 2020 to now it appears food prices have doubled and not stopping.
Again, when the title says highest in 30 years I don’t understand. Prices and COLA was rising about the same. Not anymore.
Now you have to make Hamburger Helper, without the Hamburger, just like Cousin Eddie.
Now that I have other people to take care of, it is a lot more stressful.
meat?...we have several freezers with elk and deer and a half beef we bought, plus lots of fruit, chicken, pork, etc...
I also can food as well...
get ahead...and buy a lot when something is on sale...stock up on sales....look for discount items....sometimes I can bag a small bag of tomatoes for a dollar...
And the problem is NOT “too much money chasing too few goods.”
The problem is the cost increases designed and served as a punishment in the name of leftist and liberal agenda.
Re my: the problem is NOT “too much money chasing too few goods.”
Correction: there is too much billionaire money chasing residential real estate.
(Store brands are purchased instead of name brands at the supermarket.)
That’s how I shop, anymore.
I can get 18 eggs 🥚🥚🥚 at Walmart for about $2.20.
I have them refrigerated for about 3 months at a time.
If I can I buy 2X or 3X.
I couldn’t afford food so I just do cocaine now.
True. 30 years ago was not bad.
But I just heard “Biden’s program of giving millions of dollars in forgiven debt has resonated with young people. Polls show Biden is gaining in his lead over Trump.”
Works every time.
Voters: Want my vote? Gimme something and make it good.
50 years, not 30. The 70s were just like this. I was a teen and I remember every trip to the store my mother would say “Steak is up AGAIN?”
So yes, I have been through this inflation once before in 1973 to 1982. I don’t remember the 1990s being anything like this though.
Prices for just about EVERYTHING went lower during the GREAT DEPRESSION that started in 1929. So did salaries; people took less, to keep their jobs!
I also thought that 30 year ago number to be absurd. I do not remember inflation remotely tgat bad.
I could get a loaf of bread at Kroger for .69 cents and that was just regular price.
Medical costs and automobile costs are also huge growing segments of the family budget.
There’s a certain phrase that ends with Sherlock that fits here.
Bkmk
For those of you in the American southeast; Harris Teeter has eggs $1.47/dozen this weekend...their ‘egg special’ USED to be 99 cents per dozen.
Ha, I never eat fast food or eat at restaurants 10 times a week.
Food prices don’t scare me none, still on the carb restricted thang, no snacks, sugary glop or white flour poison.
Eggs are $2.49 for 18 extra lg at the commissary, I will survive, on fresh veggies and lean chicken, fish and the occasional steak. Avocados are cheap, 79 cent ea, good plant fat.
Post; funny & comments BUMP!
