There’s no inflation folks/s. And this is why I shop at ALDI.

Some of the items that have kept out of the inflation spiral have gotten expensive recently. Bananas, blueberries, sweet potatoes, cheaper cuts of beef are some foods that those with low food budgets depend on to stay healthy. They've really spiked.

It's hypocritical that the gov is telling people to eat healthier but at this rate there will be a situation in which only the elite will be able to afford healthy food.

We shop at Aldi too, but here’s the thing about some of their meats.

Check the fluid added...in some cases it’s 11%(sometimes up to 18% in frozen chicken) which means whatever cost you think you’re paying for the meat, your actually paying at least 11 percent more.

They don’t hide this from the consumer, it’s right on the label. Same think happens with Walmart meat, and I imagine regular supermarket meats...always a good thing to look at on meat labels.

This is where Libertarians sort of go off the reservation. You will here from many how the standard of living has risen extraordinarily, especially since the 1920s. That is true, but what they don't point out is that pretty much ended in the mid 1970s. Take the price of bread, a car, an apple, what have you, and all of those take approximately the same ratio of the average wage today as they did then.
