Biden the Grouch: Joe says he was 'stunned' to find out the Cookie Monster gets smaller cookies because of shrinkflation - and slams companies for charging the same price for a bag of chips when you get a 'helluva lot fewer'

When you demand unrealistic wages per hour-—YOU MUST CHARGE HIGHER PRICES OR REDUCE THE VOLUME IN THE PACKAGE.

We already have fought Biden on this at the gas pump.

ALL he understands is “WHERE IS HIS 10% “ ?

IN the early 60’s—a grocery, stock person got about $1 an hour-—if they were lucky.

I went to work for Kroger at their Divisional office in 1957, doing accounting. Got paid $52 a week for 40 hours. Nylons, high heels, correct wardrobe every day.

RAMEN.

Fortunately I have always really liked it. Have been eating it almost daily for a few months, because I got addicted to Nissun Teriyaki ones.

Last week I went to the nearest local grocery, they had gone up from $1.00 each to $1.75 each. But the size remains the same. So I bought the cheap stuff... The Maruchan brand... the price is the same, but I noticed that the portions were about 20% smaller than the ones I had left over from about 6 months ago.

Some of the other stuff that I buy regularly is now both 20% smaller AND 20% more expensive than it was a year or so ago.

So I consider that stuff has a 40% inflation rate.

Thanks Democrats (and their uniparty Republican allies).

And I’d also like to thank Janet Yellen and Jerome Powell for their contributions to making us so much poorer.

$1.30 an hour-—and had to have EDUCATION

One thing that is going down in price is a bushel of wheat that I grow on my farm here in central Kansas. Wheat was down 11 cents today and settled at $5.44 a bushel. I’m fortunate in a sense that I raise my own cattle and hogs so meat doesn’t cost me as much, but it’s still expensive considering my input costs to feed the animals until they’re butcher weight. With my input costs to grow wheat, thanks to Joey’s energy policies, I have to have $5.25 wheat just to break even this year. Oh well, the American farmer is the eternal optimist: “Next year will be better”.

I have purchased plain white bread at Wal Mart for over 19 years.

Cost 84 cents for a LONG time.

WITH BIDENOMICS-— That same loaf is now $1.48==77% increase.

HIGH minimum wages & demands for ‘benefits”,

I can remember picking strawberries for a quarter a box—with no damaged ones.

vividly remember the day I stopped smoking...my favorite gas station raised the price of a pack of Marlboro from .47¢ to .55¢! told the guy there that I was going to find a cheaper bad habit.

But shrinkflation under Biden seems par for the course. He only had half a bag of marbles when he was elected, but the bag seems almost empty now. At least the potato chip manufacturers put an accurate rate on the side of the bag. Biden won’t take a cognitive test to count his marbles.

Ha. He asks EdD diploma holder Jill to explain the more incomprehensible parts to him every two or three minutes. “I’d have to have a darn PhD to follow this thing.”

Wait til he finds out the tooth fairy only gives 10-cents a tooth, down from a quarter just three years ago.

ThevSOB is printing a trillion dollars every 95 days and he directed the Fed to destroy the dollar to bail out the government.

LOL. But things worked out for Hillary though. In 2020, she started off the night half in the bag. Now she is fully in the bag all the time.

Good One!

I’d laugh if the whole situation wasn’t so depressing.

So he still watches Sesame Street? Nice of his wife to turn on the television so he can watch the morning cartoons.

I can remember when Pepsi came out with the first jumbo plastic bottle: “The Boss” priced at 99 cents.

I have been dealing with 1-1/2 pint “quarts” of ice cream for a while now, among other things.

The food purveyors must think we don’t notice all the shrinkage.
