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.
i noticed shrinkflation at my job yesterday lol
I was putting juice up and I looked at the two bottles I put up and there was a newer one next to them and I noticed it was like just ever so smaller than the ones I had just put up
both read the same fl oz :thinking-about-it:
They can't raise prices too much without being undercut by farmers' markets. My local farmers' market actually doubles the first $20 in food stamps that you spend there. I have grown spinach and onions and peppers both on a commercial scale as a farmworker and on a small scale as a gardener.
Maybe people should just come live near me. I've kept track of my receipts for years, and the price of a gallon of milk fluctuates a bit but has never gone over $3.50.
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).
