Kirkland signature price raise

[Bud]

We cut back on taco Tuesdays.

Not a good idea. This is what keeps you regular.

Dexos 1 gen3 is rolling out soon. Since Costco already raised their price, not worth stocking up on Kirkland, IMO.

unless we start bombing Iran tonight.

I thought tacos just made us gassy.(?) Prunes and/or fiber keep us regular...

My regime is a small bowl of mush each morning. Even the prices of that are going up.

Many are on Social Security only. Not that it was ever meant to be a sole source of retirement. Expect more increases related to anything medical as a direct result of the COVID pandemic.

I can tell you if something happens around March, things will be much,much worse. Can't say any specifics but buckle up if it happens.

These are the days we have all been stashing for...

For the non stasher type like myself that would be more like “these are the days we are living well below our means for..”

I would agree that the size of some the "oil stashes" on here are non-sensical.

US average gas prices are up less than a dollar from a year ago ($3.31 for the US average in January 2022 vs. $2.33 January 2021), and less than 50 cents a gallon more than several periods in recent years - October 2018 and May of 2019 ($2.86 for the US average in those months, so 45 cents cheaper than now). The cheap oil in the spring of 2020 was anomalous (but a result of the situation at the time) and the exception to long-run and short-run trends - it was actually the result of drastically reduced demand and other economic issues. $3.50 gas sounds about right in fitting with the trends in the long run, in real dollars.

Yup...I'm tired of people being intentionally obtuse because it fits their narrative and comparing the ARTFICALLY low price after the pandemic started when everything shut down and there was a glut of oil on the market to today's prices. We are up about $0.50 from gas prices in April 2019.

Fact - Gas was $2.97 on April 19, 2019 and it is $3.46 today.

If you believe that the government has oceanfront property to sell to you in New Mexico.

Gasoline was $4.69 today where I am.

lol.
Sure. And inflation is only 4% per Uncle Sam. lol. Not in the real world. Try 25%, and shortages, on average for goods people need.

Supertech Advanced Full Syn 20k oil is priced at nearly $27 at Walmart.

Mobil 1 20K oil is $27.50/ 5 qts.

Who would pick Supertech over Mobil 1 for the same price?

What are they thinking?

Double lol...I posted my receipt from yesterday in post 33. That's as real as my world gets...you know what I actually paid. There we go again...intentionally obtuse.

We are in an inflationary cycle (for whatever reason(s). We should post threads on what IS NOT GOING UP.

My paycheck

Higher prices some places would be factored into the average, and just because your local prices are above average doesn't negate the fact that the average is accurate. I think that the average is much more indicative of the prices across the nation than a one-point sample.

The Shell a couple miles away is sitting at $2.79, in line with the Sam's and Costco in town. Most others are sitting just at or above $3 ($2.99-$3.09).

The $2.95 I paid at Casey's a few days ago reminds me very much of the $2.94 at the local Kwik Trip in October of 2018...
Considering that, I'm not sure that it makes sense to be outraged now if I wasn't three and a half years ago...

Go on the Walmart website order for pickup three prices are cheaper than on the shelf
