Food Costs are skyrocketing! Up over 50% for me anyway.

Yeah, I went last week. Last year a pack of 3 Baby Back Ribs were $21 and change. Last week? $58 and change!!! What the hell???

Its called inflation and its everywhere.
Production cant catch the demand and transportation is getting more expensive.

When the prices are kept the same, the packs/quantity are usually smaller, even the quality too in some cases.

oooh,,, name calling ,, you are so smart.

But Trumps spending and now Obidens continued spending along with the others before him all are the reason for todays predicament.

At least Trump had people working and paying taxes spending ,,, this guy today is just the opposite, all he has is a printing press.

Dig deep in that velcro wallet of yours ,, gonna need every last dime.

Yep beg , borrow or steal....thank you blm...oh I mean Walmart

The lower your consumption, the lower your metabolism.

Beef, once a week.
Bread, once a week.
Fish, once a month.
Chicken, once a month.
Eggs, three times a week.
Booze, everyday.

booze everyday!
hahaha

The dollar's buying power took a dive from all that debt. It's called inflation and soon to be hyperinflation.

YW

Thank Biden.

Expect gas to be eight dollars a gallon soon.

I don't buy anything unless it is on sale or I have a coupon for it. Doesn't matter if I want it or not. I will wait until it is, then at that time I will buy double of what I need. That way, I shouldn't run out until it is on sale again. It's a pretty good strategy and works for me.

This especially goes for meats. Everyone has a freezer. Stock it up when they are discounted.

You don't HAVE to buy something just because you want it.

Hey sweetness. :bighugs:

Same here

Trump spent nearly 7 trillion... That right there is your inflation.

I find it interesting actually watching them manipulate civil unrest. MSM deflecting whats really going on, Deflecting and not reporting except violent crimes that seem random promoting taking away guns. Sad they dont tell the back story they cant eat or get help. Or the possibility lock down took everything that now jobless and hopeless.

Pretty jacked up

Prices are going up. As we have a rather large stockpile, we try to buy things that are on discount--regardless of we need those items or not atm.

Of course, with many items that can't be done--milk and bread for instance. The large consumption items can still be had cheap--if you had time/stockpiles to wait.

Those without large reserves of food, and barely adequate income are in for hard times.

Some of my stockpile items, such as Spam, have gotten so damn expensive that we reduced our rotation times of stockpiles--some things have gone up a lot more than others--foods that store for long periods are amongst those.

You can get batteries at dollar tree: 1 pack each AA AAA D- $3

That's a smart way to handle the situation.

Another approach for meat, if you have a separate freezer and friends to split it up is to buy a cow. I have a new delivery coming in a few weeks--250 pounds of top-grade beef for 500 bucks--even that has gone up in the recent past. I grill top grad beef/burgers several times a week--cheap. Compared to good bread, beef taken directly is a hell of a lot cheaper. Odd situation.

The reason is the Dollar is Toast...

Should have mentioned--that is a quarter beef cow. So, you either need three partners for the purchase or have a mighty big freezer.

I can’t understand how the dollar is so shitty right now with all of this inflation yet cryptos are in the dumper. Doesn’t make logical sense.

Ouch. That’s gonna leave a mark.

Yup, shop local. I'm not seeing any increases either.

Why are you lying?

Biden is about to spend 7 trillion and he's only a few months in!

I told you both sides are out to fuck you!

Will prices come down?

Beef frankfurters are over $6 a package for the national brand. The kind from the "baloney with a first name" company is almost that; even the lower quality turkey franks are over $3.

Also, notice all that almond milk, soy creamer, "plant based" fake milk? They've got bad things in store for Elsie the Cow- they really believe cows cause climate change!

You have a good head on your shoulders so I'm wondering why you even posted that.
