Gorjesspazze9 Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I just walked out of a Walgreens, and they were selling a little bag of Sour Patch Kids candy for $7 then I drove past the gas station and gas prices are starting to rise again. Not as bad as last summer but still almost $4. and every week it feels like it’s getting more and more expensive to live. I’m starting to feel like it’s becoming intentional. Like literally less than 2 years ago everything has nearly tripled. And don’t get me started on rent and electric bills. 💀 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NEX Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Too much money in the economy. They printed "free money" during covid. Now we are paying for it. You can't just add trillions into the circulation and expect nothing to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed and walked right out of that store. But as long as people are buying stuff at these inflated prices, they'll never come back down 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KFC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I go into the corner shop and the bars of chocolate say 79/99p printed on the packaging but the price on the shelf is £2.49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KFC Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 I'm a single 51 year old, living on my own, and the cost of groceries is literally crippling. If I buy ingredients to make myself 2 or 3 nutritious meals a day and some bottled water I'm spending £60 easily, this isn't even including luxuries like chocolates or biscuits 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solaria Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 Why am I paying 20 euros everytime I leave the grocery store for literally 4 or 5 items.. I’m seriously considering becoming a vegetarian with how expensive meat is these days.
