[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just got back from my weekly grocery trip at the Giant in Potomac Yard. A bag of Stacy's pita chips was $11. Conventional Giant brand baby carrots were $3. Radishes were $3 a bunch. A case of garbage domestic lager (Coors, Miller)  is THIRTY DOLLARS. I lived on $30 a week in college in the late 90s.

Two years ago, the chips were $6, and the carrots and radishes were routinely $0.99.

What the hell is actually going on? Where is the money going?[/quote]

Things were not as cheap as you recall during the biden administration.   In fact, the inflation 2 years ago was hortible and one of the reasons why trump was elected.[/quote]

Absolutely. The pandemic in combination with the unneccessary war that Putin started triggered world-wide inflation problems, which Biden handled better than any other well-off country.

Still, the Trump campaign manipulated the situation and lied and, since Americans were suffering and wanted things to change, Trump was elected.

Trump then inherited the good situation set up by Biden and single-handedly destroyed it with, among other bad decisions, an unnecessary war started by HIM.[/quote]

Uh? Sure, drink your kool-aid ignoring your sainted Biden flooded the country with cheap money through the IJIA and other massive stimulus spending packages we had no need for and got nothing out of it. Flood the economy with dollars, what do you get? Inflation. But you'd rather somehow blame it on Putin? Whatever.

Going back to my shopping at Whole Foods. Dairy seems consistent, yogurt and milk and oat milk are pretty much the same as the last few years. Same for cheese. Some produce remains same, others have ticked up. DeCecco pasta has jumped a dollar a box. The crackers and cookies we get are consistently same price. Meat varies. I can get a whole roasting chicken for $20, pork is always inexpensive, I just bought a nice 2.5 lb loin for $13. Beef is more expensive. [/quote]
