Inflation in your World

[DC_Vol]

Car insurance rates. Mine has gone up considerably from 2 years ago.

This is a pet peeve of mine. Every year when my premium is due I like to call my agent and find out why my insurance rates have increased when my cars replacement value has dropped.

It never changes the rate but it’s fun to listen to them come up with reasons.

A gunite pool was going to be almost twice the cost of the liner pool, I'm cheap so...

Liner is easier on the toes.

He leads the GOP in polling by a substantial margin.

It would be foolish not to talk about him, given the nightmare if he were to become POTUS again.

Nightmare vs what we have now?

I bought my house in 2018, and at the time it cost about $75 for a 35 lb bucket of chlorine tabs for the pool. It's over $200 now.

We've got people complaining about gasoline, eggs and chicken wings and you come in with this?

Literally, the first response ITT was about a boat part.

You pick the worst battles.

Egg's aint that bad, least here in Georgia as far as I've seen. Things I have noticed skyrocket:
. Beef
. Gas (obviously)
. Soda - $9 for a 12er of coke
. coffee
. chicken is creeping up
. ammunition
. truck prices

Oddly enough gun and alcohol prices seem to be impervious to inflation..

Still $0.99 if you go to Aldi.

And $1.12 at Walmart if you're buying generic. This was just a strange example

The street price is getting closer to MSRP for a lot of guns.

Had Mayo on my grocery list this week. EIGHT DOLLARS a jar? Good grief but that hits a white boy like me where it hurts

 

[Vol737]

J Powell doesn't expect to hit 2% target rate on inflation this year or next. My bet is we better get used to the idea of a persistent 3% inflation, maybe higher, with the money printers in overdrive.

Some Fed members wanted to hike rates in June but agreed to pause

I have stooped to taking a couple handfuls of mayo packets from the breakroom at work -- pretty much price gouging by the makers since eggs have fallen back to normal prices

Yeah, I’m sure you never want a raise or health care costs at your company have gone up.

I keep a lot of frozen meats in a freezer…kind of a just in case backup plan. Every so often I will work through what’s in there and replace.

Going through some fish and meat from early 2021 the past few weeks. Seeijg the prices feels like stepping back in time.

Govt manipulated stats... Suck it up, Boomers. Your CPI ain't keepiing up with inflation. I guess you need to pull up them boot straps.

CPI Reality Check: Chick-Fil-A Has Hiked Prices 21% In Just Two Years

In 2022, the chain first raised prices by 15%, the report says. In January 2023, the company then implemented a menu-wide 6% hike in prices, resulting in the average price of its chicken sandwich - which was under $5 in 2021 - to now cost $5.79.

The report notes that in high cost of living areas, like New York City, the same sandwich is going to run customers $6.99. An 8 piece nuggets, which would cost $5.99 elsewhere and which were also under $5 in 2021, now cost $7.09.

The Post noted the discrepancy between the real world and the CPI, which showed a 3.1% increase in November. Meanwhile, the Bureau of Labor Statistics noted a 0.2% monthly rise in the food index for November, a slight decrease from the 0.3% rise in the previous month.
