I agree as well, in addition to higher prices , quality control has gone down and sizes and weights being manipulated. they have words they are preaching for it but I don't care to use them because it's the old bait and switch technique that most don't seem to even recognize
I noticed yesterday potato chips and other snacks have shrunk the bags again. I said months ago the family sized bag would soon be at the lunchbox size. They're almost there. And the price still goes up. And that is never included in their bogus numbers, I'll bet. I often get plastic silverware since there's only two of us and we dirty up enough spoons and forks you'd think there were 50 people here. I used to get a box of 48 forks or spoons for a little over $2. The boxes now only have 24 and cost $2.50. More than double increase.
If you take out rent, food, gas, and travel, just what is rising at only 8.5%? And how is it possible that whatever is left mitigates double-digit inflation?
Agree1000%...sometimes 750-800%, but never less than 100%...asymmetrical warfare on all fronts...we are rapidly approaching their last stand, while we have barely only begun...
Yeah, I 100% agree, I see between a 10 - 300% increase in items I buy. On average I am seeing about 20-40% though. That 8,5% is a lie.

Right, they mark the price up 20% then give you half the product.

The secret ingredient is "fraud".
Fraud, the ultimate Fariable
They purposely leave out the most volatile commodities when making the calculation.

Electronics, luxury goods, and yachts ... stuff the elite buys only went up by 8.5% on average
