Prices going up.

[Nick1994]

Not much has changed here. Milk is always $2.59 a gallon. Gas is $2.89, meh, whatever.

it is a new normal, get used to it

When untold hundreds of billions of dollars are created out of nowhere this is the result you get. Fiat currency and perhaps one say you'll need a barrelful of dollars to buy a loaf of bread.

Gas is a lot more important than milk....

I beg to differ, doesn't taste near as good.

Discount places have had both pretty cheap, Kroger & WM used to have eggs for 99 cebts/dozen, and I've been buying milk from Ruler Foods (Kroger subsidiary) for $1.29-1.99/gallon.

Heck, I still get farm fresh eggs free from my farmer friend

 

[BrianF]

Welcome to Canada. Where everything costs more. Hand outs from the man and increased taxes and big time fuel taxes are causing everything to keep rising.

 

[eljefino]

How's a farmer going to stay in business selling milk for a buck a gallon?

All that extra cash is going to find its way to stocks and real estate sooner or later where it won't circulate. Normal consumer prices will be neither here nor there unless something changes to the dollar on the world stage.

check the price of wiper blades. I went to O'Reillys to get blades for my 1990 Ranger. It was $17+ for the least expensive blades in 18". I ordered them from Rock Auto and they were less than $3 for Anco

 

[eljefino]

Walmart still has cheap generic blades. B&M Auto parts stores are turning into convenience stores for when you need something immediately right then. Mail order is where the smart money is.

Just ask the folks affected by the Colonial Pipeline attack.

If some folks don’t like spending a lot for gas, buy a more fuel efficient vehicle. Soccer moms really don’t need a gigantic vehicle to haul the kids around.

No tin cans for my wife and kids... never had anything lighter than a Chrysler mini-van for them and I wasn't happy with the size of that, either. The extra fuel was worth the piece of mind.

Everyone noticing the prices of everything rapidly going up? Regular unleaded is almost $3 a gallon here while premium is $4. My cheap $1 a gallon milk is almost $3. My under a dollar dozen eggs is nearing $2. Fresh fruit and vegetables are getting expensive. Cheapy fast food meals are nearing $10 (not that I eat them but just have observed). The restaurants we like to go to though seem the same and haven't gone up. It's mostly gas and groceries.

We have noticed restaurants getting more expensive here in the Southeast.

Good thing you finally noticed.

Tip: buy a cardigan sweater now before the winter comes. You will be asked to put it on. Prices of sweaters will skyrocket on the demand.

+ 1 on the sweaters.The price of natural gas just hit $4.

I can't go more than 15 mins listening, reading or watching the news without inflation being a story - where ya been OP?

What did you expect? Most of the time we complain about brick and mortar stores are a ripoff—compared to online pricing. Next time try Walmart, I think I paid $10 a blade, more than Rock (what was shipping?) but had them same day, so that adds value.

I hear you. I was happy when the wife moved up from a Civic to a Camry, dropping from 40mpg down to 35 was well worth it to me. [Of course her new Camry does 50 so now it stings even less!]

I remember when you could get a Hershey bar for a nickel. A nickel!

Yep, I agree.

But you don’t need a 6000 Lb Chevy Suburban to have a safe vehicle.

And there aint no reason for that, either. We got more NG than one can shake a stick at. And one missing pipeline is not gonna make that much of a price difference.
