I do the shopping in our household.

I just look at the $400 dollar receipt from BJ’s vs the $250 a couple years ago to make reference (for a not full cart). I don’t buy chips and stuff but a big bargain is 2 for $9 for Doritos or chips which is half full ?. How bout that shrinkage of counts, containers, volume in general while price increased smh?

Just an attempt to squash the truth. Constant. I guess they like paying double as they pay homage to this horrendous administration.

No argument there, [USER=288]@longcast[/USER] just picked a horrible "Poster Child" for his inflation case, something that few of us, including him by his own admission, often found in our shopping cart.

Since bagels and lox, or lox omelets, are often on the menu at home, it stood out as glaring case of overstatement, especially since the local smoke house's 4 oz packages of lox have been sitting at $9.49 since PC (Pre-COVID) days. Granted it's probably one of the few food items that can make that claim. Needless to say, I've never made that purchase, and continue to wince at the inflation/shrinkflation exhibited by many day to day necessities...

"Horrible" pick by your account? The pricing I showed you is NOT YOUR local smoke house. That package less than 3 years ago was $20 per pound. The same store I have shopped in for close to 30 years. I mentioned it because it stood out as far more of an increase over the other inflated costs.

Inflation case? By your own admittance, inflation is a major problem.

If you provided these data in your original post it would have been far more compelling...

"The challenge with inflation is it's cumulative. So, if inflation goes up 8% one year, 10% the next year, and the rate of inflation growth slows down to 3%, big deal. But the price of a home is 30% higher than it was in 2020. The price of eggs is almost double what it was in 2020, and prices don't come down," Mitch Roschelle, Madison Ventures Plus managing director, told FOX Business.

A 30-year fixed-rate mortgage averaged 2.84% in November 2020. Last week, rates were 7.5%, according to Freddie Mac. Rates will likely stay elevated for longer or potentially move even higher as the [Federal Reserve mulls another rate hike]('https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/the-fed').

That is one major problem, The top guys never get to walk amongst the Majority masses. That is because the lesser people polish everything by the book. Hide what you think may offend the top. Makes everyone feel all warm and fuzzy !!.

I don't know - Bacon is back to $5 or less per package (Hormel). I've seen it at like $3.98 when on sale. I'm noting some prices dropping. But then again I do all of my own shopping - so's I kinda notice the pricing.

who the f buys hormel??

You above all of us, should know better that the person making the money here sure isn't the aquaculture people or fishermen, or probably even the smoke house for this, but the distributor...
