It is getting very difficult for most people. This April I replaced many things on my 2007 Land Rover Defender knowing that prices would skyrocket. A friend and I installed the parts even if the old ones still had some life in them. I bought two sets of tires installing one set and setting the other away in my garage. We also cleaned up the body and gave it a fresh coat of Land Rover green paint since the paint is also skyrocketing in price. I urge you to acquire handguns, shotguns, ammunition, and gear as looting may be on the way in your neighborhood soon. God help us all this shit is getting real.
 Quoting: Belgian Congo Report 81198800


Not discouraging people from doing it but just be aware you're in deep doo doo if you're just now starting to get firearms & ammo...
Not only will it be really expensive but I wouldn't put it past the current administration if they were already actively tracking purchases on available fed databases...good luck out there

Also, it is worth having an account at:
[link to www.rockauto.com (secure)]
Their prices are pretty competitive but if you have an account and have your vehicles' year/make/model in your account, then when they have closeouts, they will email you.
I've stocked up on various items for my older vehicles that way. Have a box of all of the most common parts to fail on my older truck.
 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 77245256


I did the same on my cars.

I'm good for the next 6 oil changes/filters, next 2 spark plug changes, I just bought and put new 70K mile tires on both cars, air filters, fresh brake pads + 1 extra set for each car, silicone lube, white lithium lube, and numerous other auto related items.

It's going to get really bad people. Stock up while you still can get a few items.

Between the US dollar becoming worth 10% of what it is now + the shortage in materials and parts, expect massive problems.

I don't envy you having rent. Rent on even complete dumps is unreal these days - if you can even find a place to rent. There isn't a week gone by where there aren't several people begging for rentals here. There are none to be had, and when does come on the market, it's $1200 for a dump. This is North Georgia, too. That's a house payment for up here. Might was well buy than rent.

Raw organic honey shot up 30% overnight. That is small compared to the big ticket items of course, but to a retiree living on SS, it's noticeable.

A bag of organic apples are also up more than a dollar.

Raw ginger went up a dollar a pound.

Why organic? It keeps me from getting sick which is even more expensive.

This site shows it to be close to 60 pesos, which is roughly $2.70 USD.

Incredibly cheap compared to US and Canadian prices.

I bought a 2014 GMC 1500 pickup truck last year.

I've put about 25,000kms on it since then and I can sell it for about $4k more than I bought it for.

Problem is to replace it will cost me too much.

Everything is being jacked up in price by plan and on purpose.

 Quoting: Anonymous Coward 26669668


I bought a 2018 Tacoma 3 years ago. I had planned on getting a used one with 30k miles or so on it. But dang, the used ones were as expensive as the new ones that were leftover 2018s with incentives. I lucked out. Right after that, things got really screwy and prices jumped on both new and used.

A nice experiment I've seen recently

If you find a receipt from old shop from a year or two ago, take that receipt and go to that same shop and buy all the same things and you will see how prices differ.

Used cars are nuts. My Lexus’s value went up $10,000. Groceries are ridiculous, everything is steadily rising by $1+. Organic baby diapers, wipes etc all going up too.

Marlboro about $7 a pack plus some

That is in the RGV Texas
