Here in the lower-48, it is not quite that bad, but the cost of living especially in Democratic-controlled Kalifornia is pretty high, I paid $2 for a loaf of bread, whereas pre-pandemic I was only paying $1. I go to the local dollars store, I imagine that bread is probably higher in the unionized supermarkets.
And I rarely go out to eat because a Big Mac(btw I don't eat this, this is just for illustrative purposes) is like $8. But I do cook my own food, it doesn't quite taste as good as the restaurant food, but it is way healthier with lower salt and cheap fats. I can afford to put dried tomatoes on my pasta for example, in the commercial food places, they just use more salt and/or fat. |

For food, it's still ridiculously easy to make a cheap meal. It's probably cheaper to buy a chicken than to raise one.

Quote HistoryQuoted: What loaf of bread are you buying for $4? Even in a S. FL, walmart, a small loaf of bread is $3.50. Wonder bread might be a little less than 2. In Cali, a loaf of good bread is 7-8 bucks all the time. Been that way for years. I track that shit out of curiosity. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: For food, it's still ridiculously easy to make a cheap meal. It's probably cheaper to buy a chicken than to raise one. This is true. IF you know how to cook. Bread being 4-5 bucks a loaf at the store, I can make my own for about $2.30 a loaf of comparable size with much better quality. The problem is most people dont know how to cook and are beholden to the big Ag or fast food machine. |

Credit use is nearing an all time high, and savings are dropping.

Being a fat guy sucked until I convinced myself to get in gear and diet. I eat healthier which is a little more expensive but I also eat probably half or more than I used to so I’m saving money.
It’s the three kids that eat everything that is costing me a fuck load. |

When I bought my house the septic pump was bad. It was I think around $230. It failed august 9th of this year and was $350. It was bad and the replacement 4 months and 6 days later was $418 but they did warranty exchange thankfully.

We did some serious debt reduction the past 2 years. The only reason my savings isn't going up is I'm paying off debt fast. Just the two of us, so we can live fairly cheap. Didn't buy a house above our means. Didn't buy expensive vehicles. Don't take expensive vacations. So, we're able to stay ahead of the inflation so far. Mostly working from home saves fuel, too.
