- Unfortunately, for everyone who has been reading the inflation headlines and seeing it come down thinking that food and groceries would be getting cheaper soon, think again. The cost of food today is here to stay along with so many other items that have skyrocketed from runaway inflation.

SHOCKING LIES Home Buyers Are Being Fed th-cam.com/video/Tu1Eme63Wnw/w-d-xo.html
Michael, I appreciate what you do. Many people are afraid right now and take it out on you…sort of like the old “don’t shoot the messenger” scenario…I’ve learned a lot from you and seen a lot of places I hadn’t. So thank you. You make a difference.
Thank you. What I have noticed in my area. Is the container has fewer ounces in it. The price point is the same, but the ounces are less. Some people have noticed eggs too have changed. What used to be called medium eggs are now called large eggs. What used to be large eggs are now extra-large eggs.
I saw this before in the 70s/early 80s. They reduced the number of ounces in the cereal box, but the price was still $2.00. The dimensions of the box were the same, but the ounces were less. Then they added the verbiage to say "The contents have settled" when people questioned why the contents appeared less.
I agree. The failure for Zillow or similar platforms to offer some sort of background check is failing their own brand reputation and also nakedly showing everyone how unethical they really are when they do business.
The reason why the prices are here is because Biden has raised prices on all coal and oil products. By putting ridiculous compliance requirements for carbon capture on natural gas well its has made it cost prohibitive to drill wells. By putting down a shutdown requirement on ALL US coal plants, we have much less buffer for energy brown outs and are paying more for electricity since coal is being attacked by Biden. As you attack energy you raise the price on everything. And for food , the Haber process is used to make nitrogen fertilizer which requires natural gas production. Get RID of BIDEN and we will see price inflation start going back to normal.
Politicians are not responsive to voters. They're responsive to their big donors. That is the crux of the problem.
Spot on!
They only acknowledge us at voting time. ,😢😢😢😢
@@lindajohnson. You mean they chat BS to get your vote, and then do the opposite!
Voters are stupid. That is the crux of the problem.
End stage capitalism has arrived
I'm a single man and I never really spent a lot on groceries per se yet lately every time I go shopping it is 100 bucks or more when it used to be 50/60 bucks
single people get effed in many other ways in many countries. we subsidize married couples and their children.
I hear you on that. My bank app tells me I'm spending 1,600 more for the month than before
Same here. I just eat less now. Actually being calorie deprived is good for your health and longevity.
I'm a single woman and my last trip to the grocery store cost 75 bucks for 2 bags of eggs, milk, bread, and some fresh vegetables.
Absolutely ridiculous
@@Su-JoRight 😮💨
Reminds me of a grandpa joke: “when I was 20, I could carry $20 worth of groceries by myself. Now that I’m 90, I can still carry $20 worth of groceries.”
What , 90 , hell ,you get ready to go,upstairs soon 😂😂
Funny!
Crazy shit in usa, in live in europe so for crazy price increase they blame war in ukraine. What excuse they have in usa ? :D
I like that
I remember paying $5 a mcdee meal lol n that was 2003
Not only are prices increasing, but product volumes are shrinking.
It’s SHRINKFLATION!💥
And quality is decreasing!!
Reminds me of being a kid in the 80's, listening to everyone flip out about price increases. THE PRICES NEVER WENT DOWN.
They wont this time either. Covid is past, it's not necessary to keep things inflated.
The only way prices would go down is if the national debt went down. That is your inflation. The expansion of the money supply.
@@muddyriverdogz yep and the expansion of money supply also furthers wealth divide, because the rich who own assets (houses, stocks, crypto-assets, etc ) at least get the benefit of asset appreciation to offset inflation, the poor and wage earners with no assets only get hit with inflation and pay decreases from currency being worth less.
@@dbased1915 Exactly. It does what it is designed to do.
Every time a giant tax cut is inacted this happens. See 1980's Ronnie raygun policy. Now tRump policy. Repeal tRump tax cuts and prices WILL go down!
Whoever says the inflation is down lives in another reality
Inflation is down but it is still positive. So prices are still going up, just slower.
Likely a Reality you pay for via taxes.
For sure.
Or they benefit somehow by saying that
Inflation was never supposed to go down or else it would be deflation 😅.

😳Right.

Blanket boycotts on buying tickets will bring things back to reality. If someone is willing to pay silly prices for game tickets, they are not helping the situation.

When I moved out on my own in 2014 I would get a whole cart of food for $100 to $120. Nowadays a whole cart costs $300
It’s the same in Australia. My grocery bills have gone up 100% and more in some cases. I think some prices will come down a little due to seasonal reasons but the rest, no way.
Bro a couple bags of food is $100 for me 😂 I'm so over it
It's been 10 years. That sounds like it is within expectations.
Are you buying the exact items now that used to cost $120?
@@joefuentes2977Are you picking out fresh fruit, vegetables, etc? Do you go to the meat counter to have deli sliced or to get fresh ground beef or other meats? Trying to understand your grocery buying habits.
I just spent 4 hours going through my bills, bank account, mortgage, etc.... I budget about three weeks in advance my food and bills. I strated making my own bread, tortillas, filling a 5 gallon water jug for $1, adding vegetables to my protein dishes to make it strech, making teas or juices, my own coffee concoctions, baking our favorite sweets. All kinds of ways I can strech my budget. I have chickens, started a vegetable garden, and we eat vegetarian 4 to 5 days a week. I try to live like people in the 1940's and it really does help. As long as I do my best to stay away from Costco. One trip there can ruin my grocery budget in a flash!😄
Grocery prices are up 50-100% depending on the product. I remember a bottle of heavy cream being 1.99 now it's 4.99! count that
Heavy Cream is 6$ to $7 here in Cali
6 dollars for a bag of potato chips.😮
THANKS TO THE " elite " people ADORE 😢😢 !!!!
It's cheaper to buy butter...then to buy heavy cream and whip it yourself...it was always cheaper to buy the ingredients and do it yourself 😢
Shop Fiesta!! $1.49 even dollar stores
Most items in my grocery basket have gone up 200 - 300 %. Fact.

I planted 11 fruit trees in my garden last year. Apples, apricots, peaches, cherries, plums, etc. Just around the perimeter of my garden, because I still want to be able to use it. It will be 2 or 3 years before they bear fruit, but that's not so bad. I'm really doing it mostly for fun since I could afford that stuff, but I won't mind having a bunch of free fruit.
Aren't all apples grafted clones? Or are you planting crab-apples? 🤔
@@EroticOnion23 yeah, they're grafted into different roots. This way they only grow to a bit less than 7 feet. So I will be able to pick them without a ladder. But I'm not an arborist so I don't know much more details. Other than that they're self-pollinating.
Did you use seeds from organic fruits or just regular non-organic fruits?
I planted a ground beef bush ..can't wait for spring 🌱 🐮
How about vegetables and some strategy that's nutritionally complete and you can live off of forever?
Politicians always say that inflation and the debt are going down, but they're really just going up at a slower rate. But no one ever calls them out on it.
Actually inflaation is an expansion of the money supply. The dollar is debt borrowed into existance owed back to the issuing central bank plus interest. You can look at the national debt clock and watch inflation being created in real time. The politicians would never admit that. They blame anything but the real cause. Themselves. This is how they transfer wealth and pic the winners and the loosers.
They're always going to spin things in a way that benefits them the most.
Good point about renting a room. You have no idea what kind of person you are sharing a house with. I once rented a room from a single 62 year old man. He seemed nice enough at first. Then one day he decided to stroll around the house with his drawers off knowing I would see him. That was enough for me.
My co worker rented a room from a guy. She later found a camera hidden in her bedroom. plus, you don't know who their friends are, who will be coming around and at what hours of the night. moving in with a stranger or strangers just is a whole no for me, thank God I never had to do it. I feel for the ones that have no choice. too many nutter butters out there.
Pay isn't up, fuel prices aren't up that much, farmers aren't getting much more for their produce. So what is causing this so-called inflation? Price gouging somewhere in the supply chain, or more likely in multiple points after it leaves the farm gate. All parts of the economic and political systems now have turned to predator mode and there is zero recourse for the public through the political or legal system.

The economy is not great-it is pretty bad.
I have many, many seniors here in El PasoTexas shopping early on Monday and Tuesday mornings at the grocery store.
Waiting for basics such as reduced meat, bread, bagels, and packaged/frozen food to be reduced.
They are paying with their retirement check-savings and having to put some items back, because it is still over their very very tight budget.
A few times I will see a kind grocery manager go to the side and quietly purchase an item out of their own pocket that a senior is unable to pay for…
We must take care of our own people first-not other nations.
It’s not just that prices are going higher but in many cases the unit quantity sold is also going down! It’s ridiculous! It’s not enough that the item is more expensive but you get less on top of it!
It’s called Shrinkflation….
@iadoreadonai It's called corporate greed, being allowed at the hands of an ALL-corrupted federal Government and it's entirely out of control.
[Not disagreeing]
I am an old country boy. The cattle farmers tell me that when beef prices go up because of the market, the beef stays at that price. Even when the market for beef goes down, the prices still stays up. So, it will never go down, according to them.
I believe it
My friend lives in a small reasonably priced apartment complex. An investor bought it and gave all tenants 25 days to move out. New tenants will be voucher tenants ... - he raised rent hundreds of dollars and the government will be paying him. So the government approves of replacing dependable paying renters for those on government assistance. I've heard this is going on everywhere. In the name of preventing homelessness they are creating a new class of homeless. People who have been living there for years will not be able to afford most rent elsewhere.
Kind of smells like il =legals will be getting those apartments.
@@benton-bentonillegals don’t get section 8 housing vouchers. You need legal status for that aid.
You don’t need a social security number to apply for section 8. The politicians are making big money off of the border break down with the middle class footing the bill!😂🎉
You are absolutely correct ✅
@@AR-rn8ok In California an illegal can get housing assistance vouchers. These can pay anywhere from $5,00-$2,000 per month. If one of the occupants is a child under 14 they can also get an EBT card with another $500-$2,000 per month.
Cut cable, magazine subscriptions, membership fees, eating out, Amazon Prime, cut your yard yourself, wear your old clothes another year, delay home improvements, don't donate, and buy only one bottle of cologne. You can cut cost when you have to. You can eat cream of wheat all week or make a big pot of spaghetti and eat off it a couple days.
Exactly
Well said
Ground beef and eggs are way healthier
In other words, just lower your standards and it will all be fine
I eat cream of wheat almost every day. It's yummy and much cheaper than most other breakfast foods are.
Each grocery store trip I notice that I pay more and walk away with less.
Once I separated from the military where I had a roommate and ate on base, I’ve been doing my own grocery shopping since 1995 to literally fill my refrigerator. Back then I would pay less than $125 for a month’s worth of groceries and leave the store with twenty or so bags. That same amount of groceries today costs a minimum of $300. I recently paid nearly $40 dollars for two slices of salmon. That’s nearly double of what I typically pay.
Ridiculous. it's greed inflations bedfellow.
Thank You for your service, yeah its a new world now
That's ridiculous. I would never pay that much for two pieces of salmon.
If you paid nearly $40 for two slices of salmon you are contributing to the problem.
Prices fluctuate, but over the long term they never come down
That's what they say about gasoline, from 2016 to 2020 the lowest prices that I can remember.
Places like Aldi used to be somewhat better. I could fill up a cart, I’m talking overflowing for 120-170$. Now to do that would easily be 250-300$. Sucks man
Groceries are absolutely up more than 25% in the UK and some items appoaching 50%. And they are still trying to flog these expensive and heavily depreciating BEVs.
It’s outright corporate greed. And the Democrats have proven themselves worthless to even address it. So much for them being socialists.
Are you having shrinkflation? Here the price is going up, and the size is going down.
Yes they keep the same size of packaging but the contents have been reduced in some cases. I have also noticed the reduction in quality of ready meals although the destription stays the same the same. I have gone from occasional purchase to stopping buying them altogether.@@sues3218

I work for an appliance company, as a technician our fees went from charging $100 every hour to literally doubling overnight. We now charge $200 per hour plus $159 to drive to your home just to service your unit. Not counting parts or taxes, it was literally half the price less than a year ago.
Cheaper to junk it and buy new. Will put you and the store out of business.
I agree.
@@patricia7792 I always junk it and buy new cheaper that way in the long run
My whole life, I've cooked at home with the exception of special occasion meals out.
I used to love making my weekly meal lists and shop for all the good food to make.
It was on of my favorite household duties.
Now, I no longer feel that excitment for trying a new recipe or even eating as much.
I'm losong my love of cooking in my mid 40s only due to cost.
No way should half a gallon of milk be 6.00 or gas, which has gone up .65 since 1 February.
I'm so done with FJB and this administration.
I could afford life prior to 2020.
I'm done!
u r singing to the choir.
The only acceptable inflation is 0%. Energy cost drives nearly everything. Technology has enabled corporate greedflation. Price fixing is illegal, but corporations simply share their data with a 3rd party service business that just happens to produce competitive pricing reports.
You will forever be upset then. There is either inflation or deflation. No in between in a free market
@Khanfuzed1 where is the deflation 😂
The target inflation rate is 2%
Some inflation is okay. With new people being born there needs to be more currency in circulation.
Biden’s war on coal and cheap gas has ruined everything. Made everything more expensive
I’m in FL and a single ear of corn costs $1.50 at a store I go to. I remember 10 years ago you could get TEN ears of corn for $1.00 at the same grocery store.
For some reason Floridians are getting ripped off on the corn, because over the summer we traveled to another state and paid like $1 for three ears of corn.
I remember that also. Corn used to almost be practically free. Now their prices are through the roof like everything else.
@@vickieclark5931 Yep, you’re right. I always wondered how they could sell them for 10 cents a piece, but happy they did .
@@ianmcnamee1652 Right ? Lol 😂 at least bananas are still cheap
All costs in Florida have skyrocketed. Florida isn't Florida anymore. Makes me sad.
I'm politically conservative and I blame Florida woes on DeSantis. His "come on down" policies f'd everything up.
We had a small window when corn was a good price last summer and a week later the price 2x.
I worked for a supermarket they went up every week and never went down the energy cost made everything climb.....

You have to wonder if supermarkets are also increasing prices because people aren't eating in restaurants or fast food places - you have to eat.
100%. They squeeze in every direction, the SECOND they are able to extort you into paying more, they do, EVERY single time.
When I hear how it is in the USA, it is actually unbelievable that it has not collapsed yet. How do you afford it?
Credit card debt. It’s in the trillions.
Soon it’ll be hard to get a credit card. These companies are gonna stop handing them out when people aren’t paying.

Worked on getting my container garden set up today. Hopefully finished by end of week.
Nice job!
Gardening is seductive - I've done plenty of it ovevr the years. But the cost of Inputs - the containers themselves, soil, plants, fertilizer etc. - usually means you're paying as much if not more for those Tomatoes than you would at the Supermarket. I concentrated on Herbs and small fruits - Strawberries, Raspberry Bushes - rather than trying to grow the perfect Cucumber....
@@suzannederringer1607 wow. It is a shame your experience didn't go well. This isn't my first time. It is all good. Good luck to you.
Congrats! When I was a kid, gardens were a thing. I think on the garden issue history will repeat itself.
I like raised gardens too !!
I dont comment much, but never miss an episode of your contents. Thank you Michael for keeping it real.
Thank you very much for being here for all of them!
I appreciate Michael that you don't have an agenda other than to inform.
Actually refreshing considering the times we are living in. Keep it up!
I also love the way they reduce the package size. Coffee used to come in 2 pound containers for example. Now it is a pound at twice the price.
Plant fruit trees. When I was a kid I could spend all day outside playing and I would pick apples, plums, apricots, grapes and just eat and play until grandma would call me home for dinner ❤😊
I use to get my vegetable on a regular sale at a local grocery store. The sale price doubled! I use to always get split pea soup for a dollar, now it two dollars. I remember when I was in college I saw condo drop over 80 percent. The real estate market always tend to go down at first slow, then bottoms out as people realize that over price home will not sell!
Ive seen grocery prices DOUBLE in the last year.
Shrinkflation, too. Prices are going up, quantity is going down.
Just saw ice cream at the store.. $.50 more close to 50ml less!
When we go to the grocery store I'm shopping down to save money and we eat ground beef, chicken and some pork.
But when I look at the price of some things I just look away and walk on.
Buy the larger bulk sizes and separate into single serve sizes with freezer bags. Thats what I did in the 80s when we were a poor military family. I'd buy a whole ham and take it to the deli and have them slice half into ham steaks and the other half into sandwich slices. A big package of beef turned into 6 or 7 freezer bags for 7 dinners. And of course a big bag of spaghetti and several cans of spaghetti sauce. After years of eating spaghetti my husband refused to eat spaghetti after he got out of the military.
When I moved to Seattle decades ago, I moved into a rooming house for a year (or slightly less). I loved it, and it was cheaper. It was a lovely huge old house. There were two floors with three people in three separate bedrooms with tiny efficiency kitchens on each floor.
I had a big deck overlooking Greenlake. Thanks for reminding me.
Just ask your employer for a 30% pay raise. Problem solved.
Cost of labor vs cost of living...no raise :(
I was laughed at,then laid off
Biden created enough high paying job's for everyone to make windmills.😊
Work for the government. Those folk get regular increases in salary, plus having great benefits ...
I actually did that. Literally asked for a 30% raise at my IT job. "I really went to battle for you, and got you 3%, everyone else only got 2%" What a joke. Resume going out all over the place.

It's pretty terrible here in Australia too. My mortgage repayments are up 900 month from two years ago. All my insurance is up, vehicle, home, contents, builders. Groceries are up by about 100 a week. Fortunately the only debt I have is my mortgage and student loan.
My brother lives in Perth the last 15 years...hes thinking of returning to Ireland because he cant afford prices in Australia now...and I can tell you Ireland is one of the most expensive places in the world to live now...

@@LilyGazou here they discount nothing .

A plastic society subsisting off credit cards and fairy dust
I have a second job at a restaurant, people almost always pay with their credit cards, even for small amounts.
They aren't here. They are a small business, supporting their workers. They aren't at fault. Blame everyone but the reasons prices are so high.
In a lot of ways, it can be cheaper to do that than to buy your own groceries and ingredients for the same damn product. Other times, not so much.
50% is the low end. A lot of stuff nearly 100% up in the last 4 years. Toronto here.
The price of everything including the rent, is too damn high!
my brother lives in Dallas and as bad as it is there for cost of living he's constantly pointing out how much worse I have it in Ottawa, Canada.
No kidding, having to endure the full-time stench of politicians must be nauseating.
We put a garden out ! Can everything beans corn meat . It lasts 15 months past next years garden .. make our own sauce s .. old school..
Today I went food shopping. Vine ripened tomatoes 🍅. Unfortunately usually the most expensive tomatoes available. I grow tomatoes in the summer. So those are the ones I like. 3.99 a pound. I can get meat cheaper than that. Wtf!
Same in Australia Michael, cost of living and real estate is ridiculous now.
The same in Toronto, Canada, and Florida. Maybe everywhere?
People need to revert back to the 60’s cook everything at home, maybe a pizza once a month or a fast food treat no more than twice a month… I see fools ordering with door dash all the time - great way to waste your money cause your lazy.. I would never use door dash unless I didn’t have a car… I always pick up my own pizza .. I am not paying dour dash 28 for a 12 combo meal for example… online ordering had made people extremely lazy… live smart and simple …
Agreed
It was shocking when the $90-$110 Grocery Tab went up to $180-$200 (only rarely buying expensive items). NOW it's going up to $250 without even trying for my household with 2 people. And I'm in the Midwest, where food prices are the lowest.
My experience exactly. You said it better than I could. Ohio here.
Same thing here in MN. It's getting crazy if you want to eat actual food and not just beans/rice/ramen.
They aren’t the lowest in Illinois in lake county taxes are high
That's per week?
That’s a lot! I spend between 350-500 a month for two. In the Midwest. I cook most meals at home.
100% increase on goods in some cases. Pasta used to be $1 now its $2
Exactly, food prices will not come down, the best people can do is shop for bargains, and refuse to buy the products that are priced outrageously.
I deliver for Wal-Mart you wouldn't believe how much junk, and processed food people eat. Sometimes I look to see if there is anything without sugar, and I can't find it. Cookies, sodas, breakfast cereal, candy, cakes. If people stopped all the sugar, and premaid food their food bill would go down.
Totally agree. Prices never come down. We are being ripped off world wide. Supermarket convenience costs!! I’m back to shopping at the butcher and greengrocer to save
Most prices never go down, at best they stay the same if ever.
Last week, a single, medium size yellow squash was $3.69 😳
I’ll make sure to shop around next time, and, throw a few seeds in my back yard and grow my own, or maybe a patio planter.
Well, those Monsanto-grown store bought squash won’t germinate seeds that produce food.
They’re made that way.
yes ez to grow....unless its not organic...and been sprayed.
real inflation is easy to track....follow the M2 money supply at the Fed. Since 2020, M2 is up 40%. Average new car prices went from 35k in 2020 to 49K now(40%), houses went from $300k in 2020 to $420K now(40%) groceries and fast food all way up. Insurance way up. Follow the M2 money supply as inflation is created by more new dollars chasing the same amount of goods and services.
That’s about a simple way to look at as you can get
Food has become way more expensive in many countries. Curious if there will be a correction at one point. Food prices were also relatively high in the 1970s
This is why my dad told me to own a lot of Walmart stock in the 80s.
They pay for all of my food now with just a fraction of the dividends.
Consider moving to Mexico, In Mexico it's still possible to eat at a nice sit down restaurant and have a full meal with all the fixings and a drink for $8, and it's still possible to buy a month's worth groceries for 2 people with $200.

the only people that say inflation is down is the government, because they don't want the peasants revolting or rebelling😆
One way to combat ever-higher food prices is to grow your own food to the extent possible. Those with a yard can do it, thereby lessening market demand. Hard to do with meats, but not hard with produce items. Anything will make a dent , and taste better besides.
Things we don’t need are getting cheaper and things we need are becoming unaffordable.
I wonder why they don’t count the price of food when speaking of inflation
I believe we will limp through 2024 but 2025 is going to be a total shit show
Inflation is the change in price going up from a current price. Inflation can go to zero, that does not mean prices come down, it means we hit a new plateau. Wages have gone up, price of materials have gone up, gasoline is up, etc. The prices are adjusting to the current normal and that is reflected in food costs.
Even if everyone stops spending as was suggested in the last video, prices cannot just go down. Companies can lay off people and we can have high unemployment, which is what will happen next, but most costs cannot go down unless they are elastic to demand. Gasoline and Orange Juice are elastic. They go up with demand, many other things cannot go down because of fixed costs of which the largest component is labor.
Companies have large coupons that come due this year. When they need to refi they will refi at a high price which means they cannot reduce the price of products because they have more interest to pay. The Fed cannot save us because they need to keep interest rates high as a check on congress from spending like drunk sailors. We are the ones stuck with the 33T bill that we have.
The sorry fact is that things will get worse before they get better. Right now, people should start paying off their debt and live below their means. The next wave that nobody is talking about is that property taxes and income taxes will be going up. In 2025 all the Trump tax cuts will reset causing more pain across the board. The current plan for entitlement should it pass is to no longer allow contributions to 401Ks tax free.
I cannot predict the future better than anyone else including the experts, but the second half of the year is going to get ugly and the employment rate will be near 6%. The next shoe to drop will be the stock market. It is juiced up right not because of 401K contributions but that will soon flatten as costs become too much and people stop contributing. There is also already a massive outflow from retiring baby boomers. The national credit card has maxed out.
Sahm homeschooling mama of three. Providing for our family on my husband's single income can be very trying at times but shopping in bulk has saved us tons. We buy a side of beef, whole pig & chicken breast/thighs by the 40# box from the local Amish farm. We get bread flour, wheat flour, oats & organic sugar by the 50# bag. 🤩 Gardening, canning, hunting, fishing & food preservation are so very important to us. We try to bake & cook from scratch for just about everything & are blessed to have free range chicken providing fresh eggs. We're looking into getting some pigs this spring. 🐖 It's really hard work but so worth it & all the sacrifices we've had to make in order to take the path less traveled. 🙂
If everyone in this country stops buying anything for 1 day, prices would drop alot.
I cant see food coming down either
I’m in Australia normal weekly shop was $350 family of 4 and now it’s around $550-$600 per week.
So if it’s a global issue, then why are we blaming local politicians for global issues?
@@AR-rn8ok it isn't co -ordinated, but all politicians - in all western nations eat at the same trough. keep big business happy, becasue they're all looking for that cushy job after politics.
@@garethwilliams4467 there’s a global labor shortage because of both wars and deaths from covid. If you want to blame someone for expensive stuff blame aggressive dictators like Putin or blame the people who mishandled the pandemic and let it spread. I’m sure on a local level some could be doing better than others but nothing is gonna stop the wave that is all the people dying other than 1. Standing up to dictators so they are discouraged from invading places like Ukraine and Israel, and Palestine and 2. Have a better plan for the next pandemic and laws that protect our health, longevity and ability to raise kids. On a local level immigration of working age people can help ease inflation if they are directed towards parts of your country with labor shortages.
Wow!😳
Prices subject to general inflation go up, historically NEVER come down. Exceptions would only be trends due to availability or fashion (cultural trends). The inflation is ALWAYS here to stay, theres never been a significant period of deflation or restoration in modern history. Period.
Whatbwas inflation at during the 4 years prior to joe occupying the WH?
@@Gypsygirl9 ask yourself this: were prices higher or lower at the end of the kast term than at the beginning?
Thats inflation. Not some random number some halfwit quotes, but the real difference between prices over whatever period of time.
Up to you if you want to believe fictional nonsense
"Have a great day" lol
@@Gypsygirl9 dont know, please enlighten me.
I am plant based and have almost exclusively only shopped at Trader Joe since 1998. The prices never increased, and sometimes even decreased. Currently, the cost of most of my staples has increased. I spoke to one of the workers about the olive oil price increasing $2 in a week. He told me that some brands have increased $5 in cost. Sheesh‼️ I have not had a raise, nor cost of living increase since 2022. I actually had to move to another state from SoCal last November.
Seems like they have carte blanc on prices, anytime any product they don’t realize that to survive,rice and beans will do it.
A lot of spoiled food that’s too expensive is ending up in the trash.
24 organic pasture raised eggs for 8.99 at costco, best deal around
remember the egg crisis? Those bearly moved compared to the mass farmed ones. Hell I got em cheaper than the cheap ones on a sale.
That is a fantastic deal
Place to Go then a H Dog..🥰🥰🥰🥰 Drugs too I can get a YEARS worth Great Time Saver..😁😁😁😁😁
eggs are the worst food you can put in your body i don't how much organic they are
Costco is costly
When I was young, people older than me would tell me they could get gas for like 10 cents . When I was young, I remember I could get candy for a quarter at the gas station, and a cheeseburger for 59 cents . In all this time, both for myself and the older people, the prices only went up. Even when the U.S. went through hard times , and wars the prices went up.
So, I think the prices will keep going up in the long run. As Michael mentioned, even if the rate goes back to 2% , the prices will continue to go up by a minimum of 2% each year.
I remember gas at $0.31 9/10. That was when the minimum wage was 75 cents.
So how old are you 198 😂😂😂
@@dennynisevic7848 lol, no ☺️. I’m just saying when I was a kid older folks would tell me stories , and as I grew older I came to realize what they were talking about .
They did....for the last 50..😂😂😂😂😂
Will only get worse. Looking to get the hell out of here.
Where would you go outta the USA ? -Serious question
If you can retire , go to guanajuato mexico or Costa Rica, a ton of Americans , Europeans, Canadians live there
@@toddprater14 if you have money look into portugals D7 visa or the D8 if you do remote work and make enough for it. theres the obvious options like south east asia (thailand, vietnam, phillipines ). one of the easiest countries is georgia, no visa required, super cheap. to live in georgia you have one year to stay, leave the country for a few minutes and the go back for another year.
If Trump is re-elected, the first thing he will do is get our oil & gas industry revved up. That effects the cost of EVERYTHING. Some groceries will not go back down - but IMHO, some actually will. Biden shut down the fuel industry, stopped the Keystone pipeline construction, along with the extra we keep in reserve as a country - so dangerous. Joe then flew down to Venezuela to beg them to sell us their gas - & their refining methods are much worse on the environment! How does that MAKE SENSE??? Geez, I certainly don’t want to invite Trump to my weekend BBQ - but the good jobs in the oil & gas industry are so important to many American families.✌🏽😎🇺🇸
Latin America. I’m learning Spanish. It will be my 4th language. @@toddprater14
French guy here. Our groceries are very expensive too but at least it's good qualities food in general...
I remember huge billboards in Florida while visiting my grandparents in the 60s: Free land if you build a new home.
😮😮😮 NO WAY MICHAEL 💥💥💥❗️Did you really Just gain about 3,000 New Subscribers in Just the last week???
You are really
CRUSHING IT 🎉🎉🎉💥❗️
Good for you my friend. It’s because of what you do and how you do it. Always great content. Blessings,Carlos ✝️🙏❤️😊🇺🇸
IKR? His subscribers are growing really fast. It's probably due to daily videos. All the youtubers that I watch that do videos once a day or more have a fast subscriber number count. I think it's due to youtube showing the videos more because of the huge activity on his account cause it helps the algorithm. Lots of great videos and his subscribers liking and commenting.
Ha ha I think I did man! It has been amazing. Thanks so much for being a part of it.
Some folks like to be miserable!!
I lived in my car for a year. Now I am renting a room for 350$ cheap living started training myself. The car living was a challenge but i slept well. The room I rent is noisy. Slept better in my car. Anyways man I can live cheap. Glad i did this. People have been asking for loans which is annoying. Maybe i should start a loan sharking business.
Controlling and tempering purchases is hard at first then it becomes a joy. You adapt and thats the name of the game right now
It’s not just inflation. If people are purchasing on credit and carrying a balance that’s charging interest upon interest ad infinitum, then they’re also paying more for their purchases even without inflation…
cabbage, potatoes, sales and reduced meat. Bulk oats, rice and pasta. Most of my staples are not inflated as badly as the processed junk and fast food.
Prices are increasing, and the amount of product is shrinking, Shrinkflation!
Where did 60k people find 9k for a Super Bowl ticket?😂
That was an expensive weekend. I heard hotels were $1200 a night.
What is the super bowl?
Millions of people are rich that’s how they can afford anything they want
Clearly, they are the top 10 or one percent or just people Yolo to have one good experience in life

He is right again. Fast food getting to high. The big problem is the next generation has no leaders.
Micheal Bordenaro for President! I really enjoy watching your channel I am a single 40yr old was not taught alot of things you share.....so thank you!
Live in AL, we have grocery outlets and thrift store has 2 free grocery items per family per day.
So I plan meals around what I can find at the grocery outlet. Also work in healthcare and drug reps bring in lunch several times a week. I always take leftovers home .
I’m noticing a lot of stuff we used to buy went from $4 to $7! We cut out a lot and no longer buy name brands, and have gotten our grocery bill lower than before. But what’s to stop store brands and “cheap” (oatmeal, dry beans, rice, etc) food prices from going up?
I saw Tucker Carlsen in Russia shopping at a grocery store buying what an average American would buy for an entire week. Came to a total of $105.00. What happened to our country?
I cant justify eating out in restaurants anymore . Too expensive and quality not the same .
