want proof of inflation????? Pick up a granola bar.

Maybe they should inflate the granola bars with air!

:D

Or, market rice krispie treats as granola bars!

Also, another good way to see inflation is to look at the price of everything in general at the grocery store... coffee, milk, bread, etc..

I have one better

Little Debbie Swiss Rolls have gone up from $1.12 to $
1.79 per box in the last 18 months

A regular sized jar of Miracle Whip at Safeway is now $5.19. It used to be around $2.29.

just check the price of spam it wasnt long ago i was paying 1 dollar a can.

Bullets.

Add Totino's pizzas to the list. You know, the little ones that cost $.90-1.00 about a year ago. They're $1.50-1.70 now.

yeah nd just about everything else is smaller and more expensive..... everything!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I only buy mayo when it is on sale.

I bought 30 oz Hellmann's last week for $1.99.



.

In the 80's ,government stopped including food and fuel in the inflation figure. for reasons you can obviously see.

lots of products have been downsized but are still priced at the same level or even higher.

look at how small the average sized carton of ice cream has become over the past many yrs. a few days ago I noticed a lower cost brand of chips is now being packaged in smaller bags.

I paid over a dollar for a small bottle of Coca Cola, it used to be 5 cents! /shakescane

yes..I can see they're assholes!

.


Little Debbie's, cokes, cookies, ice cream...
these types of treats will be the first left
off the shopping list if food inflates to the
point only the necessities can be bought.

This is also when FOOD CO-OPS will take off.
You bring in food you have grown and trade/buy that which you need.

You can only inflate so far before people stop buying.

And you guys are listing products that use highly subsidized wheat soy and corn. Imagine my family's grocery bill. We are gluten intolerant and use a juicer to juice lots of fruits and vegetables. Grocery bill for 3 people for a week is about $140-$150. $560-$600 a month. That's with no frills, no junk food, just exactly what we need each week.

Eating truly healthy is a privilege of the well-to-do these days. There are scientific studies proving it.

OP = Keen Observer of the Obvious

Bought some popcorn from the boy scouts (at an increased price over previous years of course)

I always use the same bowl. In the past the bowl was just large enough to hold the popcorn so that it wouldn't spill over.

Just last night I popped the first bag. Didn't even fill the bowl half way. Now, I could easily fit two bags into the same bowl and not reach capacity.

Candy Bars went up to .69 cents a few years ago, and I thought that was high, then they went up to .99 cents, now they are 1.19, a 50 cent jump in a year or two.

It's weird how the illuminati price everything 6.99, or 9.99, or .69 cents.

I went into World Imports and I'd say 90% of the items has '999' in the pricetag, or rather '666', if you look at them upside down.

I await your stupid grunting disapproval of this post, ye soulless dumbfucks of perdition.

Cost me over $2 for a tin of altoids. WTF. Gum is around $1.50 a pack. Not that I buy that aspartame shit but I still notice.

Seriously, wow.

They do that with ice cream, pump it full of air, let it sit out to melt, it's only 3/4 full.

Heads on poles, priceless.

In less than 2 years, these small, frozen storebrand individual pizzas have gone from 69cents to 79 and now 89cents since last week.

I only buy
organic, how bout 8 dollar jars of mayo. FFruit juice? used to be 3.99, now is 7.99. a large jar of pickles? 13 bucks.... yeah growing food sounds good right
now.

You and your illuminaty lol, they use the 5,99 because the mind sees it costs 5 bucks and few seconds later its 6 bucks but the time the mind uses on figuring that out you all desided to buy it.
Its phsycology and trading tricks on the most basic level

Ohh and btw, we pay the full 6 we dont get 0.01 back
