[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]This is what happens when the government incessantly prints money that’s backed by nothing [/quote][/b]

Not only that, it's Bidenomics at work.  INflation always surges during democratic presidencies.  Everything is out of control. OP, I agree with you.  Groceries, in particular, have become obscene[/quote]

There was literally an article in a local media site written by a local reporter that priced and tracked common items in four different grocery stores in the same community in NOVA. He did this for weeks, interviewed the store managers, and determined that people who pay attention to prices are affecting grocery prices dynamically.

Grocery ADHD will cost you a fortune. Being an airhead is far more expensive than inherent inflation due to macro economics is.

If you blame all your personal problems on a political figure or give that figure credit when things go well in your personal life, you’re always one election away from being unhappy and whining.[/quote]

Further to this point, 5 products are responsible for 30% of grocery store inflation: beef, chicken, fruits and vegetables and snacks.

I have not read the article, but from what you have posted it appears to be entirely pointless and misleading. The impacts of inflation aren’t impactful over weeks, it’s months and years.

For example I started budgeting and shopping at Aldi in 2021. From when I started shopping there I have seen the following prices rising significantly over 3 years.

Bread $1.75 to $3
Raisins $2.50 to $4.50
Milk $3 to $4.75
Cheese $1.75 to $3
Apples $2.50 to $4
Spinach $1.75 to $3

The internet is so cool. Anyone can search on the Aldi website and see that you're a liar. https://new.aldi.us/[/quote]

Aldi prices are different in each neighborhood. As are organic/non-organic.

Are you really spending your time debating the price of milk on the internet with a stranger who may be 1000 miles away from you?

Why are you some posters here literally triggered by sharing information about inflation. I get that some are Ms. Moneybags and don’t mind paying more, but it’s weird to deny the impacts of rising food costs on working class people.  [/quote]
