[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You're late to the game. Everything, I mean EVERYTHING went up in price while our salaries relatively remain the same. They're all added up.

Whose fault is that?

It’s totally not the Biden admin. It’s all about the vodkaman in Russia. [/quote]

I think it was caused by a combination of factors but primarily three things:

Supply shocks due to covid and ukraine 
Loose monetary policy from the Fed 
Stimmy/Bidenbucks

Anyway, OP no judgment for doing what you need to do to feed your family. I’ll share that I cut my grocery budget in half by shopping at Costco and Aldi/Lidl.[/quote]

NP. Great for you if you want to live in the 'burbs where Costco and Aldi/Lidl are located. It would take me an hour and a quarter of a tank of gas to get to any of these from DC.[/quote]

DC has both an Aldi and a Costco. Where have you been PP?[/quote]
I live in the District and the Aldi is 30 minutes by car from me. Just because it's in DC doesn't mean it's accessible. [/quote]

If you live in DC and you're 30 minutes by car to an Aldi then you live in an area where houses cost $1MM+ and apartment rents are double what they cost near Aldi.

If money is that tight maybe you should move instead of hand wringing over a few bucks of groceries. [/quote]

Not OP, but once again, you are missing the point. We should all be concerned about this inflation. I live in a house that would sell for close to $4 million and its a big concern for my family. We're smart enough to know that it's a sign of serious economic downfall.[/quote]

There's literally nothing a single person can do about inflation. It's going to happen regardless. There is everything a single person can do about their own expenses.  Talk about missing the point, but sure, keep whining about inflation instead of actually doing something about the things you can control. [/quote]
