SHIT WHITE SLOP WITH BITS OF BEEF is now expensive. Bread that was 99cents is now $1.25. Tired of this shit economy and the fucking lies about how it's doing well.

What are some foods that you gave up due to inflation?

For me, it was oreo and most store brand cookies.

[Anonymous No.20171208]

This. If you apply for EBT you should have to go to a government camp to live. They would have only fresh food and classes to teach you to make it. A final solution to the slop question

Honestly- almost anything name brand is way too expensive these days. Store brand stuff is exactly the same if not better 90% of the time, and always at least 30% cheaper. Same with generic OTC medicine.

Only thing I don’t skimp on is paper towels and TP, brand X can’t compete with the higher price point there.

[Anonymous No.20171274]

>>20171243
I reduce getting name brand paper towels like bounty for like hard paper towels that you use in bathroom to wash your hand to save money.

I didn't want to hemorrhage money by paying it just to clean.

That's indicative of a non-competitive environment. Meanwhile, totally unrelated, Kroger is being allowed to buy up Albertson's.

The more times pass, the more I realize actual competition is as real as real communism.

[Anonymous No.20171608]

>>20171604
Don't worry though, in addition to Kroger, there still will be Wal-Mart, so two competitors in a robust market for everyone's grocery dollars.

[Anonymous No.20171609]

>>20171607
Look at >>20171608. The illusion of competition is maintained while store after store comes under the same corporate entity.

[Anonymous No.20171611]

>>20171609
I do agree with you, and I'm saying that competition beyond this fake seems to be an utopic dream.

Surely these CEOs have our best interests in mind with their mega-merger. They're not even wearing ties. It's like a deal with my grandpa and the pizza delivery guy.

yeah no shit, anon. competition for lower prices and the customer dollar stopped existing a while back. now companies have realized that without regulation, instead of a "free market," they can just team up and raise prices while lowering wages. see >>20171634

when i was a kid, free market shit made more sense. if main street tool co. is selling nails for ten cents, and tools on main across the street is selling them for seven cents, of course tools on main is going to get the customers.

in current times, both owners know they've cornered the market and are selling nails at 15 cents because people need nails and can't get over to the next town.

my bad, we're on the same side here then. i thought you were on the "pro-competition" side of shit to start. this site has poisoned my brain and i think most people here think daddy trump is going to swing in and do something to fix all of our problems.

[Anonymous No.20171779]

Does an extra $1.50 really hurt you? Genuinely asking. Do you make minimum wage? I’m not rich and I do notice price increases but it’s all fairly negligible… If an extra ~$100 a month on groceries is that painful, you need to work on your earning power

[Anonymous No.20171818]

>>20171779
Not OP but that shit stacks up, and companies don't offer annual raises. If they do, they don't match inflation. Companies constantly lay people off and make work harder for you while giving you less. Imagine having kids and all, not just paying for yourself, too.

Yeah I have a wife and a 6 moth old and it hasn’t been an issue at all. I live in Arizona so I guess that helps as it’s generally low cost of living, but still… I’m guessing the people complaining the most must be making near minimum wage. Just a guess though, that’s why I asked.

are you that dumb?

[Anonymous No.20171873]

>>20171870
Agreed. Again, my question stands - if it’s so painful, are you making minimum wage? If so, work on that before complaining

[Anonymous No.20171877]

Because to be a self reliant man who’s strong enough to take care of the people he loves is a great feeling. It’s imperative

Or better yet, don't work on anything and get welfare and food stamps and make those rich fucks like the person I responded to pay for your shit.

if you really want to see the state of the economy, pay attention to the cheapest hotdogs/bologna available in your area. Probably the best to generally pay attention to b/c of national availability is Bar-S. In the last 5 years it has gone from .$0.75/# to $1.12/12 ounces (hotdogs) and $1.18/12 ounces (bologna). Similarly are those little single serving sandwich meat packs (Budding). They're currently $0.80/ea (2 ounce)--in about that same timeframe they were $0.50.

These kinds of good are a much more important economic indicator for inflation because they are solely aimed at those who already don't have a lot of room in their budget so even small price increases can price out their market that's willing to eat them, and generally, people who eat better quality flat out refuse to swap down to these.

We're fucked yo.
