Oddbean new post about login | logout @6a018a2a But every day is like a week. And my grocery bill seems to double every month! Just for 2 (TWO!!) people! FJB!
@1c553d25 @6a018a2a Same here, and we're feeding three adults and two teenage boys. Carbs are causing me some health trouble, but carbs are cheaper than salads and we prefer electricity to be on and rent to be paid.
@98513a7f @1c553d25 By my best observations Food costs are up 50% in 2 years... Restaurant prices are Absurd now...
@6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 its true. I can remember a fancy dinner for 2 costing about what it costs to go to a diner now.
@48bfa577 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 Oh and let us not forget that seniors are eating dog food to survive. Just makes me cry and spit at the same time. Why do we treat our elderly like shit!
@0c671c23 @48bfa577 @98513a7f @1c553d25 All of the prices for Everything to live in America are out of control and no end in sight... As they said decades ago, its the economy Stupid, that decides elections and it is finally more True than ever now. There is no way Biden and the Dems can Win... I used to say Trump could push 100 Million votes in 24, I now think it could be closer to 110-120 Million and Biden might be lucky to get 40 Million They are not rigging or stealing 50M or more Votes!!
@0c671c23 @6a018a2a @98513a7f @1c553d25 well I have never come across a senior eating dog food and I can assure you if I ever did, I would make sure that the problem was fixed. Unless it was my Mother in law, for her I'd just give her a big bag of kibble.
@0c671c23 @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 I used to think that the elderly who were ignored were reaping what they sowed, but I've seen too many who were good parents get the cold shoulder from their kids to make that judgment now. Some sowed it, I know, being after money rather than their kids, but not all. It's just that morality, much less godliness, went out of style when the 1960s hit, I think. Peer pressure stopped making people behave.
@98513a7f @48bfa577 @6a018a2a @1c553d25 Wow Diana well said. Glad I didn't grow up in the 60's. I could only imagine what i.e. Height Ashberry was like in San Fransicko back then. Nothing has changed from what I'ave heard, but the problem is city/statewide now. Poop on the strets, needles, drugs, sex, full blown Aids etc. etc. Just sick.
@1c553d25 @6a018a2a @98513a7f See my minni rant on Paul Crugmon. That dweeb is a tool! I ain't buying a 12 pack of Pepsi for almost $10! Your mama!
@1c553d25 I'ved been do my own little Costco experiment for almost 3 years. I buy the same 20 items and from 3 years ago, they are up 39%... So what cost $245 2 years ago, then $289 last year and last month cost $349. Gasoline is over $6.00 in Calif and never lower than 5.00. Here in Florida I just paid 3.95 gas today, highest Ever here... Florida raised Electric rates 20% in past year and California is utterly astronomical Everything is up and its unsustainable for most Americans. .
