Ok, I understand people are having a hard time. But I'm wondering if inflation is region specific. The reason I wonder is because I don't think my staples have gone up much.
Of course we are all paying insane gas prices.
But as for food, I eat mostly carnivore. Lamb chops have been $7.99 per pound at costco for years, costco sized packages of kerrigold butter hasn't gone up in a long time, eggs haven't gone up much, but I do think bacon has gone up some. We have at least 5 big grocery chains close to us, I can get quality steak for under $10 per pound from one of them each week. I bought 10 pounds of t-bone steaks for $6.50 a pound last night.
I'm sure cleaning products and such have gone up, but it's not something we buy very often, and because of that I don't really know the prices, we just buy a lot whenever it is on sale.
Here the power and gas haven't gone up yet, but I understand that is set to go up by 10s of percentage points soon.
What are people's specific experiences with inflation?
Even my local Fry's still has reasonable prices. Just picked up chick thighs for 99c per lb and pork shoulder roast for 1.49 per lb. Beef prices were reasonable but I already had a hefty freezer of beef. 5.47 per lbs of T-Bone and 3.47 per lbs of chuck roast.
Then again, since moving to West Phoenix, I've gotten most food here cheaper than anywhere else I have lived which includes KY, FL, TX.
