How hard is inflation going to hit, or has hit?

mcdonalds hasn't had a dollar menu for a few months now
they got the $3.xx mcdouble and the 99 cent hamburger
small fries might be a dollar and soft drinks are still a dollar

I haven't had mcdonalds in a few months, and they used to be about a twice a week thing
the a&w a mile away has way better food for a similar price

nope
taco bell and chipotle don't do a thing either, never understood any of the jokes surrounding those two

I am probably pre-embalmed though from pickling in all the preservatives though.

Sounds like you got a good gut like myself….

But fuck man, being cheap is one thing, killing your self faster than need be is another…

Maybe lean into the bulk beans and rice more?

I don't ever feel hungry
I just eat when I get shaky from hypoglycemia
generally I do the beans and rice thing, usually have a few containers of it in the fridge but that's oftentimes 90 mi away, so...

 

[woods]

I must eat ten pounds of food a day.

[Russell]

Kangaroo meat is actually delicious. I would happily eat it again given the opportunity.

If you only ate meat you'd get hungry even less and could stretch out the not eating further.

^^^^I can't imagine building or doing a major remodel right now. Prices HAVE to be what, 25-30% up from 2020? ignoring the lumber 200-300%

I need a sheet of SS to finish a custom range hood project. I didnt order in 2021 before I needed it since SS should have gone down as covid panic went away. INSTEAD? Fucked
Holy shit has SS gone fucking nuts. I dont give a flying fuck about Ukraine, stop screwing up the russians with sanctions so the SS price can drop.

If I've decided I'm not gonna build my garage until next year why shouldn't I throw the money I was gonna spend on block and concrete into I-bonds? There's zero chance I want to touch the money in the next year.

 

[DannyK]

Inflation was 8% over the last year for February. It is that time of year for annual raises. Anything less than an 8% raise is a paycut. Yes, I am expecting a paycut.

3% last year, "massive" 4% proposed for next year in for a few years of pay cuts, as it goes

buut, staying in the same position always degrades, so it will be hopefully on to the next thing in a few years to offset all that.

Supertech brake cleaner at Walmart has gone from ~$2.xx/ can to almost $9. I about choked when I saw that.

What’s an “annual raise?”

 

[Scott Cee aka 2drx4]

What’s an “annual raise?”

It's something that desirable employees are given to try to retain them. The ones they're trying to convince to quit, well, they give them nothing. After all it's often way easier from the HR perspective if the bad employees just quit, rather than having to fire them.

Have you not got your annual raise? Oh, no? Well, this is awkward.

it's when all the greedy oil companies and greedy self employed bums raise their prices every year and claim "everybody else is doing it" so that they can fleece the fixed incomes and the poors out of their last dime.

if those evil small business owners would just keep their prices flat, nobody else would have to raise prices! Nobody should deserve a raise.

if we could get everybody to have 1 kilo of rice every 3 days, we could feed the world. isn't that what jesus said? though shall not want? Follow jesus

I give everyone a raise annually simply because they've learned or improved. Also get to give more responsibility and less time to shop for other jobs

I think I'm doing it right

I think your 'Merican is showing. 1kg of rice is 2.2lbs, or about 3/4 of a pound per day. A good communist comrad can survive easily on only 150g of rice per day, or about 1 pound every 3 days.
