What's a treat you've given up because of price increases? Mine is Ruffle's

Potato Chips. I love them! But I can't love them while paying $3.99-4.99 for what used be be a $.99 bag. The bags at Sam's ARE a better deal. But they sure don't taste the same.
I used to go through 2-3 bags per week. Haven't had any since Christmas Day.
Thank you, Mr. Biden. You go on and enjoy your free ice cream cones. Don't worry about me.

Shooting? I know that's right. The only people that can still do that is law enforcement and those junior high kids that live across the creek from me.

That there is one thing that I have seriously cut back on but not stopped. At one time I would shoot a 50 round box of the 40 caliber ammo every week just to stay on top of my accuracy. But with the price of a 50 round box now at about $30 bucks a box that was about $20 bucks a box for Federal target rounds, I don't shoot but once a month now. Now the Hornady 40 S&W 165 gr Critical Defense that I keep in both our 40 cals, they are $25 bucks for a 20 round box that I will change out about every 6 to 8 months to make sure they are fresh if I ever need to use them, but I pray there will never be a time that I will have to protect me or the wife with towards another Human...

According to the St Louis FED (that tracks these things), chips were $1.99 per pound in 1985. In addition to raising prices, manufacturers also starting filling the bags with more air, fewer chips.
The last Ruffles I bought in December were marked $5.99 for 8.5 ounces. That would make a pound bag (at this point) $11.27.
So to answer your question...probably BEFORE you were born. But live long enough and you will understand what I'm saying.

Ingles isn't cheap and they don't do enough BOGO sales IMO. You have to stock up when they go BOGO at Publix.

I got Ruffles BOGO at Ingles 2 weeks ago. How much are they at Publix when not BOGO? They are $0.17 a bag cheaper at Wally World at $5.38 a bag. I won't by them unless they are BOGO.

Americans just don’t deserve a Biden!
Some of you clowns should seek help.
POLITICS is destroying America.
TO CHOSE BETWEEN A Biden and Trump is like trying to decide if you would rather die by rifle or sword.
Either way you Lose ..... big time.

in fact, I pretty much said the exact same thing when Trump ran against Billary. That said, the fact of the matter is that no sane, objective, or rational person would be able to argue with any degree of logic or prudence that the country is better-off now under Biden's leadership than it was under Trump.
Most people don't like Trump because he is a deliberately polarizing, condescending a$$hat, and I certainly wouldn't argue with that assessment, but from purely an economic and national security standpoint, he was a much better president than Biden who will very likely be remembered as the absolute worst President in US history.

Biden and his team engineered a soft landing after the pandemic instead of the recession so many Republican-leaning economists insisted was inevitable. He’s created more jobs than Trump ever did. Unemployment is low and still dropping.
I realize Trump’s convinced you people that it’s OK to lie like rugs, but the fact remains that reality still has a well-known liberal bias.

for just basic stuff - bread, milk, bananas, apples, lunch meat, cheese, peanut butter, cereal, snack bars, coffee, paper towels, toilet paper, soap, etc. and I try to get as much generic as possible. And I have to leave off any candy or chocolate; maybe there is a silver lining to this dark cloud.
And most of these items have increased in price almost monthly. Is this the new normal? Biden's been Prez for 3 years; thanks Joe.

screaming in Powell’s ear about those interest rate increases? His treatment of James Comey (to whom he may well have owed his presidency*) would pale in comparison to the harassment Powell would have endured. (I didn’t like those interest rate increases any more than anyone else did, but evidently they were necessary and Biden had the good sense to back off and support the Fed’s efforts.)

What I have had to give up is eating out and not buying steaks for the grill like I did.
I agree with the above poster and it’s not even close. #### country is in a mess and currently treating those that enter our borders illegally better than our vets.
Trump just does not take any crap from the media which has and is driving people’s thoughts on him. If he would just keep his mouth shut while doing what he did when he was in office he would have been fine.
He has actually ran a business something most of these career politicians has ever accomplished. I don’t care who you are but if you have been in office for 10 plus years there is a very good chance you are corrupt. Not sure if some of it is intended but there is so much of it in Washington it will eventually rub off. The Biden family drama is finally getting more attention and he has been in Washington for 30 plus years. Coincidence not sure but most definitely inevitable.
You never ran a business and become a career politician you can afford multiple properties and not talking the 1 acre ones. Strange on their salaries.

You left out a divided American with killing and chaos in the streets every day!
I began following Trump closely many years before he developed an interest in politics and his early years as a “businessman” makes for an interesting read. I suggest that you NOT read any of the early books about him! Of course you wouldn’t believe that he was anything but great!
I met a lady several years ago who sued Trump for evicting her from her apartment in New York .... and won!
This lady was an actress in early soap operas on tv and moved into an apartment after retiring from the stage. Trump bought the high rise from the Actors Guild and forced the tenants to move ... but she didn’t. Her son was the District Attorney in Miami and Mr Trump lost!!! I loved that story.

Well yea, but that choice will be pretty easy for me when it comes to choosing the guy that really hasn't done that terrible of a job when considering the shape our country was in when he took over during the covid crisis, and a time that the guy before him had run our countries deficit up more than any president before him. And yes I know some will say that he didn't, but the facts are yes he did...
The facts of Trumps presidency reads as he did do some good as president, but everything that he did good, he done several things that negated any good he ever done. Don't just read a few things and make your own conclusions of what Trump done as president, read the entire facts of everything that he had hands in, and if your reading comprehension is above 7th grade level you will see that Trump was this super president that some thought that he was bc, it most cases as president he was the opposite, and he isn't someone that this country needs leading it ever again. Read it all bc everything he done is in the facts checker. Then add in this report how he tried to tamper with and steal the election that voted him out. And then learn how careless he was with our countries most top secret documents, nuclear design documents that he left lying around in the open at his golf club. Plus the way he has forced and abused women that was someone's mother, sister, wife. Then ask yourself if this is the man that you actually want to lead our country in the times that it's the most dangerous, bc I don't want the creep anywhere around the white house...

Nothing specific. However, I have cut back on eating out for lunch, and getting takeout for dinner due to price increases.
I just don't want to spend my money that way, when I could easily enough prepare meals at home for much less.

The price of fast food has gone up faster than other

Like's not even worth it to have fast food anymore. I recently had my regular Taco Bell meal and was close to $12. While I had a hibachi lunch with salad and soup for only $13 at Tokyo in Clemson. Like may as well go to sit down places. Fast food is losing the advantage of being cheap.

You ain’t kidding on that one. Took the family to Wades in Spartanburg the other day and before tip it was the same price as going to Culver’s. I’d much rather have a meat and 2 with yeast rolls than a fast food burger. Wade’s has gone up a lot too but couldn’t believe it that it was basically the same as Culver’s.
