I do not normally shop at Bath & Body Works, but I went in to look for Christmas gifts for my nieces. $ 13,50 - $ 14.50 for a 10 oz bottle of shower gel. How the hell do they stay in business with those prices ? No way in hell I am buying that shit.

They have sales daily through their email subscription. Recently they had a sale for shower gels and lotions for $5.95 each. 3 wick candles were $15.95 each. Hand soap was $2.95 each.

Look up car parts!

I've been needing to do a few things on my vehicle. Not only are parts extremely scarce but they have doubled and even in some cases TRIPLED in cost!

That one hit me in the gut.

I just need shocks, struts and a new windshield.

Struts are either unavailable and listed at rather standard prices or doubled in cost.

Windshield has tripled from 170 to over 400 bucks.

When I'm done there I'll just need some minor things and she's winter ready.

The nearest junkyard closed up a year ago so I travel far to one and they usually don't have my vehicle there. I've been lucky for most parts but lately no dice.

Food has obviously gone way up too. Everyone I spoke with spent quite a lot this year for Thanksgiving.

The great shitstorm has arrived.

The Canon color laser printer I bought two years ago has gone up 67%.

The hiking boots I wear have gone up 17%

Wild bird seed up 30%

Makita circ saw up 23%

Motor oil is up.

Tires are very costly.

Food has gone crazy. Our grocery bill has doubled even though we have been cutting back. Beef, chicken, pork and seafood all way up.

I had to buy more boxers for my son online at Walmart, were $17 in September, $27 in October.

Dollar stores now raising prices by 25%, across the board.

Places that have not raised prices, have greatly reduced the size/quantity of what they are giving you for the same money.

Loblaws
8 ".99"$ for mesh bag of approx. 18 chestnuts

IGA
10$ for a pound of bacon

Farm Boy
8$ for 10 thin slices of mozarella

But the one that really struck me was the CAT WATER at the pet store. 7.49$ for 4 liters of fuc**king water. Because the water is "special" water, purified and good for the cat's kidneys. Oh and it was a nice cat picture on the label.

Just bought a new Pixel 6 for $600 to replace my Pixel 3 that was having issues. The P3 cost $800. My new P6 has a bigger battery, bigger screen, double the memory, more powerful processor, big time camera upgrades and the newest version of Android. Google even threw in a free pair of $99 Pixel Buds A for per-ordering the phone.

So the new phone is bigger stronger faster than my old one, got some nice ear buds and spent $200 less than I did on my old phone.

Doesn't make up for all the other higher prices but at least Google is bucking the overall trend.

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.

My son asked me to stop and pick him up a bbq burger and fries from one of our local restaurants Friday evening. Last year it was $9.99. Now it's $12.39. I ended up going somewhere else and got him an Italian roast beef and fries and saved $3.00. I'm not paying 12 freaking dollars for a damned burger and fries.

Avocado, coconut and olive oils, and cashews. I make a raw vegan "cheesecake" with soaked cashews, raw cacao butter and coconut oil. It's really, really good,loaded with healthy fat and protein. I make 16 bars in a 9" pan. Each bar is about 450 calories. I am fit, physically active, eat healthy, and on the thin side, so I was surprised by the weight gain after two pans in ten days. Then I did the calorie math.
