Consumer Price Index: Inflation Slows to 4.9% as Food Prices Finally Begin to Fall
Learn: How To Build Your Savings From Scratch
This latest set of data will be welcomed news to consumers, as groceries take out a big chunk of paychecks every month. Indeed, almost half of Americans (48%) said their grocery costs are eating up most of their monthly budget, even before utility bills (38%) and credit card debt (37%), according to a survey conducted by OnePoll and UserTesting and reported by Talker.

“slowing”
From the speed of light to almost the speed of light.
Happy Days are here again!!!
Food and gas plus soaring rents are decimating savings and maxing out credit card limits.
So-I conclude that 50% of Americans already on their own home and don’t have a mortgage payment.
Inflation ain’t slowing
NO sign of inflation slowing at my house. If someone shows you numbers that “proves” it’s slowing , then someone is cooking the books.
Funny an hour or so ago I texted a friend about the government’s inflation numbers.
Topic was food.
In 2000 one could buy a bar-b-que salad and a fountain drink for $5.00.
According to the government it should now cost $8.91.
The real price now is more like $16-$18.
The government numbers are roughly 50%+ too low.
“Consumer Price Index: Inflation Slows to 4.9% as Food Prices Finally Begin to Fall”
That is an imbecilically gross mischaracterization of what the data actually illustrated.
Yup—the article makes no sense.
For most folks their mortgage or rent payment is their largest monthly expense.
Don’t believe it’s only 50%. More like 80-90%.

But they voted for this hope and change, I hope they enjoy it. As for me and my family, well, we began preparations for the inevitable collapse of society and mass impoverishment the day Barry the Muslim was installed.
When the emergency is upon us, the time for preparedness has past.
By design and on purpose to destroy the American people and the USA just like their bioweapon jabs and boosters.

We agree wholeheartedly with Dr David Martin that the members of the criminal covid enterprise, including Fidel’s boy, are guilty of premeditated mass murder. There were no mistakes. Rather, it was meticulous diabolic planning & execution. Here is a masterpiece in my opinion! It is an intense 4 minute video. My dear friend & colleague Dr Tess Lawrie is speaking.
Must see and hear video is at the link above. Everyone needs to wake up before we lose the current WWIII.
My biggest budget expense is the 50% property tax appraisal this year.
The cheapo store brand bread has gone up 50%. Just wait until the predicted low wheat harvest comes in. Predicted or manipulated? Yeah, they’ll be filling in the shortage with ground crickets and mill worms. Notice every legit food factory/supplier has had a disaster of some sort be it fires or disease except bug farms.
Where’s the slow down?
I amend my previous post.
Food is second or third.
However, if food prices remain high for decades it would eventually cost more than a house.
Joe will tell everyone that eating cockroaches is good, and millions of Democrats will be harvesting them to eat. That’s how cultists do things
Yes, or more than even that in some cases
We went out to Portillos the other night. (chicago hot dog place).
4 hot dogs (normal size) with some pickles, relish, mustard, peppers, 3 fries (with about 25 crinkle cut fries) and 3 sodas-$46. Not kidding.
I almost fainted. Won't be doing that again.
In less than 3 years many items I buy have gone up almost 4$. It’s impossible to keep up.
