Our gas and groceries are still at Biden prices.
I appreciate that the economy is picking up, but for most of us, our salaries are fixed until our annual review which will be like 7 months from now, in March, by the time we see any increase.
Given the history of the last few years, it's likely our wage increase will be a couple of percent at best.
Prices need to fall or taxes need to come way down or the average person is just going to see a continuation of Bidenomics.
And forget trying to find a better job to boost your pay. This is one of the worst job markets in recent memory.
Count yourself lucky if you still get yearly raises
I don't use an app, but this was a good way to do it. I have just cut back and buy less and less but still pay more and more. What really gets you now are non-food items - cleaners, paper products, shampoo, toothpaste, etc. All are $10-$20, easy. You really have to look hard for a decent price.
Hubby got his first increase since 1/2023. It was...$0.80. He had capped back in 2023, but things are waaay different.
It was really insulting TBH - this isn't 1956. You couldn't up it to a buck? Seriously? The sad thing is we need it, but CPI in the same time frame has increased almost 8% and that doesn't take into account food/energy. Considering the taxes that are taken out, he basically was given an egg an hour.
Ever seen this?
