[That is an utter F***ing lie. I’ve never seen inflation so horrible as it has been between 2009-2017. I’ve been keeping track. Virtually everything I buy on a regular basis doubled in price.]


Milk, eggs, bread and canned soup have all remained at roughly the same level for me. Of course, I buy store brand everything. Electric rates have gone down, and gas prices are roughly the same.

I do too, but the Milk, eggs, bread and canned soup I bought between 2008 to the Present have all gone up quite a lot. Milk has effectively doubled in price. Some of that is the consequence of the big drought that occurred four or five years ago, and Ranchers ended up culling their herds greatly.

Gas prices doubled reaching around $4.00 per gallon, and then came back down to under $2.00 per gallon for awhile, and then crept up to around $2.60 now.
