Value of $1 from 2020 to 2022

$1 in 2020 is equivalent in purchasing power to about $1.14 today, an increase of $0.14 over 2 years. The dollar had an average inflation rate of 6.97% per year between 2020 and today, producing a cumulative price increase of 14.43%.

This means that today's prices are 1.14 times higher than average prices since 2020, according to the Bureau of Labor Statistics consumer price index. A dollar today only buys 87.719% of what it could buy back then.

The inflation rate in 2020 was 1.23%. The current inflation rate compared to last year is now 8.26%. If this number holds, $1 today will be equivalent in buying power to $1.08 next year. The current inflation rate page gives more detail on the latest inflation rates.

So really stop the lies food is not up as much as many say it is.

I spent $90 today for 6 breakfast meals, 2 dinner meals, [microwave type meals], OJ, Tea, pop tarts, dog food, 3 protein bars and a can of Lysol disinfect spray.
...............................................
8 meals and pop tart snacks, OJ and Tea that will last at least 3-4 days, 3 protein bars, about 3 weeks dog food for 1 dog and a disinfect spray.

Not bad for $90

Which means if you figured you needed $36,000 yearly income for retirement in 2020 you now need $41,000 a year.

Well good luck with that retirement!

But

It’s NOT food.

.

How so, it's the same thing you get at a grocery store, ground beef, potateos, soda, bread, sauces, etc, etc.

Its real and not that much money.

If you think that what you buy for $1,2,3 is real food than I’ll suggest you get a new brian. Not the $1 brian though

You get what you pay for.

That nasty stuff is not food
cheese is 1 step away from a plastic bag
Beef is up to 40% additives, not meat
Buns are full of additives
Drink is full of corn syrup

Its all poison

But whatever. Go get your cheap poison if you want.

OP< they left out the sawdust in some fries. They are called fillers.

I went organic after 2000 some time. About 2011, 12'...I went and bought a digourno pizza, since I hadn't had it since the nineties and I THREW UP. Have not been back to get digourno anything and am fine.

Perhaps the bot is ignoring this, but is true and just reason it out. Why so cheap? You get what you pay for.

Look at all this low cost great food at dollar store.

Food is still cheap in America folks.

Who gives a shit?

not food

Horseshit ... at the Dollar General near me a bag (two pounds I think ) of frozen tater tots went from $3 each to $5.79 each

nearly double in price

though I know potatoes/processing prices haven't near doubled -- some of it is just plain greed and price gouging
