Same. I am single and truly MC (a nurse) and inflation's impact on utilities, car/home insurance and grocery/pet supplies has been killing me for 3+ years.  ie, cost increases outstrip any wage gains I've made in that period.

I think we have short memories. Prices went up during covid and never went down. We were definitely subject to price gouging. There is so much data about record profits during this time (1st Trump and Biden). Kamala pledged to investigate and end price gouging, and I believed she would do a better stab at it than Trump, but then why was she letting it go when she was VP? That was the real question. Are administrations actually powerless over this collusion? Is their only power in DOJ preventing or whatever monopolies? Or some other agency? Chances of that are nil with Trump.

So prices had been going up and now they are going up even more with no plan to fix and no incentive to help MC families. All the shopping tips in the world won't fix the impending poverty thanks to this spiral. [/quote]
