What is the actual inflation number?

[GroupThink]

I went grocery shopping yesterday, which is an extremely rare occurrence because I have a girlfriend for that. Anyway- prices are absolutely unbelievable. Last time I went was probably early 2021. I think 20% is being generous. Chicken was insane. I will never eat chicken at these prices. What a joke.

Wife grabbed some strawberries at the Amish grocery store yesterday. 8.50 a quart/ 68.00 /flat. They were like 6.25 last year. WTF, the price of gas doesn't affect the Amish. Problem is they're like crack in the Vanderwulf household, short cakes, milkshakes, daiquiris and pies...

 

[SoDakHawk]

Even the Amish are price gouging.

 

[KFSuperStar]

Obviously the Amish are a greedy big corporation making record profits. Probably working for Putin peeing on beds and such.

I keep hearing on the liberal MSM that eggs are up 30%.

So they have gone from $1.00 to $1.30 over a year ago.

The horror.......

I guess there are different levels of inflation?

Where you shopping? I picked up boneless/skinless chicken breasts for under $3/pound and thighs for under $2.50/pound.

T-Bones for $7.99/pound.

The only thing ive seen a real increase in at the moment are eggs.

Bell peppers seem the same, onions seem the same, banananas and apples the same, lettuce the same, canned goods dont seem to have risen or at least to a level that makes me notice. Pasta and pasta sauce (or ingredients to make sauce) dont seem to have gone up. Maybe the MS Gulf Coast and New Orleans somehow skipped this food increase thing?

I’m saving money by buying the smaller sizes.

They are wrong on this and everything else. 2.5x higher.
Hamburger $5+. Double.

Do you mean because he said he has a girlfriend?

If you ask them to cut your pizza into 12 slices instead of 8 you will have a 33% savings per slice!

 

[pjhawk]

No, but I bet he did get a lot of odd looks carrying his blow-up doll GF around the grocery store so she could shop for him.

This is a really good thread:

No need....manufacturers have you covered.

'Shrinkflation' accelerates globally as manufacturers quietly shrink package sizes

Shrinkflation isn't new, experts say. But it proliferates in times of high inflation as companies grapple with rising costs for ingredients, packaging, labor and transportation.
