JohnJ Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 As awful in the Carolinas @the real Duke Spinner. $3.50 to 4 for a loaf of decent bread substitute that I have bought twice this year. Dukes (the only mayonnaise, others have sugar added) almost $5 for the <1qt size. Watered down milk $4 a gallon? Whole is supposed to be around 4-7% milkfat, lots of times it's not. Now "they" say 3% +. Iceberg lettuce $2, celery $2, bell pepper $3-4. It goes on. I clean my bathroom and kitchen with bleach (I take immunos). I won't buy bleach for $7 a gallon, been making my own for a couple years. Up Yours o w's  Don't trust folks enough anymore to eat out much, only a couple places I'd trust back home. Face piercings and fluorescent hair behind the counter make me do a 180 every time.  The Catholic family that run their restaurant nearby that I can't order at because I only speak English? Their kitchen is clean, they are too. Best tamales I've had in decades, they make the guacamole after you order it... best ever! Chunky without anything holding it together except maybe the lime juice! I've got an interpreter.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schu Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 its the same all over... THE WORLD. Currency induced inflation has started to slow in terms of velocity, but it has not peaked. Supply side inflation is probably fairly stable or coming down slightly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnJ Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 (edited) When diesel can't be found, or it reaches that price that no one will buy the product with that price added on...

Schu Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 that was all part of his plan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

henry4841 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I expect this thread to get out of bounds real quickly if it has not already but since the mid elections are over I expect the price of fuel to increase again increasing the cost of everything. The old saying "if you got it a truck brought it" is going to ring true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Travis In Austin Posted November 15, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 15, 2022 It’s only the 5th inflation thread in the last 6 months, which doesn’t include off topic inflation related posts in threads like garage sale. They all went off the rails in less than a day.  Trying to figure out what a Catholic family who apparently has English as a second language has to do with inflation or why and even mid-term elections on gas prices. 2 hours ago, the real Duke Spinner said: I am in the butt end of Upstate New York Prices have shot up beyond belief in several years Omlette &15.99  🙄 Talkin s $50 breakfast for two. ...

Coytee Posted November 15, 2022 Share Posted November 15, 2022 Nice perk at work.... I've got a company card. Rules are, if I travel MORE than 10 miles from home, I can use it for one meal.....on them (daily if I'm on the road every day)  Well.... for me to drive to town, cross the bridge to THEN decide "do I need to go south, west or north.... that bridge is 10 miles. So virtually any day I'm on the road, I can buy a meal on them.  Boss said if it's under $50 he doesn't want to hear any concerns about it.... just do it.  That gives me a wide latitude of places I can visit. Nice thing about that, if I go mexican, my wife wants the beans (which I pass on), she wants the glop they put on top of my food (I don't want that either) Long story short, she's eating the half of mine that I would otherwise simply tell them to keep so we both get some munchies from my day trips.  Heck, how long can you last on a large pizza?  I was getting diesel a couple weekends ago. Guy was filling his tank (I think 125 gallons) His combine was nearing empty and I think he said it takes 250 gallons to fill it. Got to gabbing and I made one of my remarks, telling him to please leave some behind so I could fill my 5-gallon jug (I try to stay topped off at the house AND my equipment) I went on to say that "you DO know (don't you dumbazz) that we're going to run out in 13 days?"  He laughed.... said if we did.... it was over. I agree. Need that to plant the crops, to harvest the crops, to move the crops to market, to move to store blah blah blah....  HA I just thought of a silver lining.....  When we're 100% out of power, we'll all start burning our wooden speakers for heat. Jubilee has more wood than a LaScala or Cornwall.... so I'll have more heat! The Underground Jubilee cost less than the Heritage Jubilee so it won't be as painful to burn.  I suddenly feel very secure.    Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
