Same milk same store has gone from 2.75 a gallon to 6.00

Chicken breast 5-6 per pack to 11-13, unable to tell price per pound but I believe they have started adding more water/packaging to meat

Can't compare jalapeño or habanero prices because they haven't been in stock this year yet :D

Onions 1.99 per bag to 3.99

Frozen spinach 2.50 to 4.50, also size has been reduced

Please libz, tell me again how inflation is only ~8% per year.

    They say the inflation is 8% because extremely expensive luxury items haven't increased that much supposedly. (I wouldn't know). Meanwhile, basically everything I have to buy to live is up at least 25%. Gasoline up over 30% (since the decline). Hell, Dollar Tree is now "Dollar Twenty-Five" Tree (+25%). Soup I used to buy for $3.xx is now at $4. Nutrition drink I usually have is +$0.50 (about a 10% increase).
