NBC News: Grocery Prices going through the Roof this Year | |
Anonymous Coward User ID: 76522520 United States 04/13/2021 04:50 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | We buy a grass fed beef each year. Same price as last year. We stovk up on frozen veges on sales and have a garden and 9 fruit trees. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80194568 My wife cans tomatoes, peaches and pears. We buy two flats of western oregon peaches each year. Part of a fund raiser for the girls HS basketball team. Sweet deal for a good cause. We have 14 chickens. Farm eggs to gather each day. We will get a couple more hens today. Sounds rough but no more room here, stay in El Salvador...theres a pandemic. America is in debt. |

Even the original food sources are have issues for the same reason. Not enough food is being produced and its expensive to ship it. Supply and demand. Quoting: Doctor Congo This was planned. 'They' want to watch us all squirm. They want us sad and angry. You are correct. My company imports stuff. Supply lines are messed up all over the world. It used to cost $3000 to get a container shipped here from Pakistan. It now costs us $10,000. |

User ID: 50557755 Canada 04/13/2021 04:52 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The weekly grocery bill has been going up steadily for 4 years straight with the only difference being that now the smaller packaging sizes that they have been using to charge the same price that are now finally catching up with this inflation shake down using economic warfare to solve that pesky social security insolvency issue and medicare entitlements Quoting: Anonymous Coward 80241661 Yeah best example wife and me noted on the smaller packaging - and it took a while before we noticed - was on organic potatoe. It used to be $4.99 for five pound bag at Tops. Then eight months or so ago we were making mashed potatoes and realized the 'same' bag didn't yield as much mashed potatoe. Pulled out a bag (which still costed $4.99) and were surprised to see it was now four pounds, not five. Then a couple months later, when I was purchasing a bunch of bags of yellow organic spuds, I noticed how lightweight the first bag was I picked up. I looked and was amazed to see THREE pounds. Price ? $4.99. So in six months time or so, organic potatoes have gone up 40% in price. Or taken another way: 40% less potatoes for the same price. Our block cheese sales are now 2x400g blocks for $9 when they used to be 2x450g blocks for $8. That's been since last fall/winter. 10lb bag of regular potatoes can range from $7 at Walmart to $2 at Giant Tiger. Manufacturers regularly play with product quantity as part of their strategy to confuse consumers into thinking they're getting better deals than they are. Take a look at MyFitnessPal food entries if you want proof. The same product is available in like 10 different quantities depending on time/region.

This is a very good year for everyone to start growing a garden. this is Trump's legacy it's called hyperinflation. Trump spent 13 trillion dollars on a fake Pandemic, what did you think was going to happen. now he gets to sit on a golf cart in florida. washing his hands from the covid19 hoax, and blaming Biden for the mess Donald Trump created....

User ID: 76462481 United States 04/13/2021 04:57 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | From the same main stream article: Quoting: Doctor Congo "Issues like higher gas prices, increasing transport costs that get passed on to consumers, especially for items like bread, are only going up as driving increases faster than oil production. So grocery prices are likely to remain on the higher end of estimates for at least the rest of the year, Olvera said. Producers may eventually increase their output in order to capture the heightened demand, but that won’t happen until toward the end of this year, Olvera said." and "The White House said Monday that it expects inflation to go up — and not go back down." ----------------- So the White House and their lackeys in the media are admitting this now. They would never say this unless it is going to be much worse. The price of the raw stock (aluminum, steel and plastics) I use in my machine shop are going up dramatically also. These costs get passed on to the consumers, and will be felt by the public soon. Yep, my company sells supplies to Industry. Steel coils of strapping material to band up material for shipping just went from $71 to $113 this month. Everything we sell is going straight up! |

You have to wean off of it. You also have to stop drinking commercial orange juice, that's another mistake I made during the past year. I started to drink it strait; that stuff is not real OJ, it has more sugar than soda does and artificial flavors in it. Never waste a crisis, that can work both ways. If all of America cut back and lost the wieght, you'd see the price shoot down as well. As soon as we withold our consumer power they respond! The world needs a lot less sugar. I'm shocked how many bakeries just opened in Nashville, as well as candy shops and new coffee shops. Sugar and carbs everywhere. What happend to salad cafes, remember them in the 90s? They were all over the place. One palce used to make something called horts de verts or something essentially lightly tempura style fried greens to top a salad.

The intrinsic value of our money has plummeted at a shocking rate, just like what happened to the Soviet Union 30-40 years ago. There's nothing left to back up the hot air balloon economy of the West, with debt being projected on future generations that haven't been born yet. Here's your handout, and another one and a couple of billions for these multinationals, and a couple of hundreds more for those industries etc. Et voila. Hyperinflation.

User ID: 72782567 United States 04/13/2021 05:40 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Its ALL due to FUEL COSTS, and that blame lies squarely on the SOCIALIST BIDEN Administration. They are cutting off the fuel to drive up prices. Gas will be $10 a gallon by Xmas (and so will milk). Socialists hate the poor and middle class. They need poverty and blight in order to try and retain power over their Slaves. When people prosper, some become Champagne Socialists and others leave (the plantation) altogether. An increase in the disparity of wealth(-distribution) politically benefits the engineers of that very (created) situation. Which often works, just as long as the people are too stupid to figure any of this out on their own. :fireplace: "Remember when we used to treat colds and flu with chicken soup, saltwater gargles and warm tea instead of Communism?" |
