That's what happens when the current administration increases the global dollar supply.

It's up 36% since March 2020...

It' not going away (inflation)...and it is being done...on purpose.

I hope you don't have an urge for Black Sturgeon Eggs. There must be real sticker shock there at the moment.

Being on SS I normally shop once a month for groceries, then I go back to the grocery several times a month to replenish small items like milk, eggs, bread. This normally runs me $300. to $350. each month. I just went to get my monthly groceries this past Saturday. I did not buy anything I don't normally buy. I spent $548.+. Yesterday I went back to Meijers to get things I couldn't find on Saturday, and spent another $66. Ground beef cost $7.00 per #. And we are being told it is going to get worse, and we need to suffer a little bit!

Between Jan - Mar 2020, I spent $770. Between Jan - Mar 2022, I spent $1212, but I like to think that I've been eating better.

I have a garden and a freezer so I am somewhat prepared.
