Just got in from the store today and didn't buy shit yet the bill was $220. Only meat was a couple of bags of Tyson breaded chicken strips and spicy patties. One big jump I noticed since I rarely pay attention to prices was that our dog food went from $14 to $19 a bag. Also the frozen pizza my wife eats has gone from below $5 to now $7.

This week pricing for flooring is going up 3-15%. Proctor and Gamble is about to do a big price hike…..again. |

I cut meat in the meat department at a supermarket. I'm also the guy that comes in and resets prices for the new ads every Wednesday along with that I change base prices on things if they occur. I've seen ribsteak go from $12.99 per lb (family pack) to 13.99, 14.99 and now 16.99 that's just this year. Everything is incredibly more expensive and this shit is only going to get worse.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Just everything is expensive. I bought a pack of Chinese masks this morning. $25 for six for some pieces of fabric. Chicken and beef are expensive as fuck. I walked through Home Depot the other day and almost everything I randomly looked at I thought to myself “huh, that seems unusually higher than I last remembered it.” How does this shit all play out. We’re all still making the same amount of money of course… Slowly, then all at once. If you lived through it before, you know. |

Groceries seem to be the largest postings and as I still have 5 adults (Myself, wife and 3 sons, 2 college and 1 journeyman)) I know how that feels. There are a few things you can do help with that a bit with a little effort. Join the stores clubs which are free, search through the flyers you receive in the mail and get a deep freezer. Even a smaller freezer will pay for itself quickly. I do gardening in season but that'd be stretching things beyond the scope of the thread.
I'm in a unique position as I have a few supermarket chains around me along with Super Walmarts and BJ's. Besides that, all of them except BJ's have other stores within 10 minutes of me in either direction. I belong to all of their shopping clubs so I get the discount on sale items at check-out. I comb the flyers that get delivered on Thursdays and use a number of the digital coupons. I see what's on sale in each and see what I can get to assemble the weekly dinners and head out. I do well in that for every $100.00 I spend, I save at least $100.00. I also know which ones have the best prices for products like one is better for paper goods and another for dairy, another for produce, etc. Sometimes when they have a really good sale like this week one has chicken on sale, 87¢/lb for legs, thighs and quarters, I'll go to both each day and buy 2 packs (limit of 2 per sale) re-bag them for freezing and load up the deep freezer. I did the same on roast beef the week before and boneless, skinless breast the week before that. I do the same with Hollidays like turkeys at thanksgiving time, hams at easter, etc. It really adds up over the year and saves you thousands besides getting reward points for gas and such. |

I work for the evil big red soda company. We usually have a price increase every January. We've already had 3 this year, last one was largest ever, and are preparing customers for about the same big increase this January.
Our 20oz retails started at 1.59 - 1.79 January 2021. We're currently sitting at 1.99 - 2.09 and will be around 2.19 - 2.29 by January 2022 |

We do a yearly Sams run to stock up on cleaning supplies, bulk meats, etc. Every year before it typically ran ~$6-700, this past year it ran over $900. Now we got a tad bit more than we usually did, but it should have only been maybe $750ish.

I own an auto shop. I just got a delivery of full synthetic Dexos approved oil. The price went up 15% since the last delivery 6 months ago. Conventional oil was about the same increase. Oil filters have gone up 12% and some numbers are getting hard to acquire. When they are available there are far less choices of the different brands. I no longer use single-pricing for oil changes. Everything is itemized on the bill and it is what it is now.

I honestly haven't bought anything of real consequence in the last couple of years, and my grocery spending is a pretty small part of my income. I also work from home, so I don't really notice gas prices. It would have to cross something insane like $10/gal before I took pause. And if that ever happened, it would be the larger (wrecked) economy that I noticed more than the sticker shock at the pump.
So to be honest with you, I haven't actually noticed or been materially affected by inflation. Personally. That's not to say it isn't happening of course, it's just that I don't have any anecdotes that confirm it. This is probably why economists try and measure it the way they do, instead of just asking me. I actually track my spending pretty closely, and if anything...it's down from what it was a year ago. |

I need to replace my roof in the next year or two max. I want to do metal but with all the cost increases people are mentioning here I'm going to have to really have my finger on the market to make sure I get the best deal. I suppose I can address any small issues with Flexseal in the meantime
I suppose if things like lumber are relatively cheaper I could finish the addition that was started or build the loafing sheds I want first, in order to allow time for metal prices to soften. I also need a small tractor, 4x4 atv and SxS. I'm not looking forward to shopping for any of these in the near future

This is exactly why inflation is so pernicious. It doesn’t much effect those already established on the higher end of the socioeconomic scale. With a paid for house and cars, (or fixed rate loans), inflation could go up 300% this year and it wouldn’t make a measurable difference to our life. All we see is the value of our assets going up, up up. Meanwhile, people just starting out, or at the lower income levels, Will feel the impact immediately. |

When I was 20, my inflation-adjusted income was ~$56k/yr. My house (again, inflation-adjusted) was ~$146k. New construction. In California. I was broke as shit doing that (for a bit until my income went up), but I did do it. It's not even hypothetically possible for her to do what I did, right now. To her credit, she's not letting it deter her. She'll figure it out. |
