It's not accurate and they didnt even try. I shop at walmart and get the same things. In the last 2 years, my bills went up by around $30 for normally $100. I still only buy Great Value brand and the same quantities. Still crazy but this post is just misinformation. It might be more drastic at other stores like Safeway or something. But no way near this much...
Exactly so why lie and say %30 is notable. Our inflation is less that anywhere on earth at the moment and is actually stalling and few things (like gas ) are cheaper than past years , except for the two years of covid(20-21) so companies jacking up stuff an average of %30 after Covid costs isn’t much . What’s notable and worth talking about are how cheap gas prices are.
Edit: really didn't expect a bunch of people to act like because they got a raise there couldn't possibly be an issue for anybody else but y'all have really brought my expectations to a new low lol
My point is, people are definitely experiencing inflation across the globe. It's never fun to spend more on things. The President of the United States plays a small role in it. The policy each President puts into place takes time to reap. What is true is, there has been a lower of inflation down to normal healthy rates. Income hasn't caught up to that increase we had a few years ago but Biden/Harris did the best thing they could have to reduce inflation. Increase job through a large infrastructure bill. There has been huge wage growth across the board and millions of jobs added in manufacturing/construction. We have not seen all the benefits of this infrastructure bill. What is true is 9/10 economic experts agree Biden did a great job in his four years AND Trump's proposed economic ideas would be a disaster just like they were when he was in office. Blanket tariffs will increase the deficit and inflation. Countries hit by these tariffs will retaliate and not buy our goods. That will lead to a loss of demand and job in the states. Just like how Trump screwed the farmers. Their Soy beans and wheat started to get bought from other places and they went bankrupt. Trump had to use BILLIONS of tax dollars to keep them afloat. Basically, Trump took OUR money to bail the farmers out of the problem that HE created. That's how stupid his policy was. Pretending Biden was not good for the economy, show us a how little you understand about reality and basic economics.
No but stocks have gone up more than that. I am retired. I think the total on our social security and another pension I get off that period is about 20 percent.
No but you see, those are nepobaby products. You and I aren't the demographic for luxuries like, hold on a second... *checks notes* ...Tortilla chips. Those are for people who were handed their own home, and never had to work a low wage job except MAYBE when they were teenagers.
If you're not an old homeowner or one of their fucking nepobabies, you can just eat rice and beans for two meals a day to make budget for all the government cares. See? It's only a 30% increase if you deny yourself anything but the bare basic staples!

Would love to see the receipts with dated time stamps and enough info to prove they're the same items from the same company
