Riding mower I bought in 2019 was $1800. Same exact mower at same exact store is now $2600. Pretty sure average American pay didn’t match the 45% increase.

At this point it would just be cheaper and make more sense to go out to eat as oppose to getting ripped off at the grocery store nowadays and than having to come home and cook.

I went to a Walmart recently. I bought a 5 pound bag of white and brown Hinode rice. It cost me $7.xx. Months ago, it was $5.xx.

Where i live (not in America) prices have gone up in everything. So some tips for saving are: no eating out; look for promotions; vegetables, fruit and meat are cheaper at the farmers market! Water instead of soda, only drink juice at mealtime. Combine car trips and do it all in one go. Any extra income, put it to the side for emergency.

Our so called economic experts say inflation is 9%. I wish groceries only went up 9 cents on the dollar. Try more like 50-75%
Thanks Brandon..

MSM: It only went up by 13%
Supermarket: give me 50% more than before 😂

Yeah this is true although we've had three years of drought the Colorado and the Mississippi River are almost completely dry not to mention many rivers across the world we could we should consider ourselves lucky after all there's about three acres for every person in North America well in Europe there's like one acre for every person in Europe and they're really having a difficult time with energy prices so they can't keep the refrigerators running or also get their food to market and I'm sure Asia and China are also experiencing difficulties with weather change and they have awful lot of people there they're probably going to have a lot of difficulties too

Start a garden and learn how to store veggies in the jar/freeze. Eat more high protein beans.
