RollForward the Prices
Miss Carter yet?
Food prices in my area have been slowly going up for well over a year - I was with my daughter the other day and she wanted to buy some hand lotion - I was stunned at the prices - $11 for hand lotion and that particular item was on sale marked down from $13 - who pays $13 for hand lotion - my daughter certainly didn’t - we went to Walmart instead and got their brand of lotion for I think it was three bucks and it had the same ingredients as the thirteen dollar job
Don’t forget about how products have shrunk in size already. This is nothing but a gift to the TBTF banks who we already bailed out, and a way for obama to continue his spending. It amounts to a back door tax increase on everyone!
Smaller packages is a particularly nasty trick these days.
It is a very sneaky way to hide price increases.

Yep, gasoline and food prices are up in my area.
Anyone who eats has noticed that prices have been going up lately.
For those who absorb all their nutrients from the air, it’s not so bad, but for the rest of us, the price increases are noticeable.
The inflation rate is MUCH higher than .6% if they would figure the decreasing quantity of coffee, cereal, cleaning products etc. for which the normal family is paying the same price as when the packages were larger. The Fed’s “market basket” doesn’t figure the product shrinkage. It’s an old trick from the Jimmah Carter I era.
Wild caught Alaska pink salmon —— @$2.38 or so. Always one of the best deals in the supermarket. If you want the caviar of the sea get canned red salmon
It’s not inflation...it’s “Dem-flation”!

Dont worry QE2, QE3, QE4.... QE27. Will save us!!!!
Good. Bring it on. We need to inflate the dollar along with budget cuts, to reduce the real value of the national debt. Sadly, after the mess brought forth by our idiot politicians, it’s the only way. Not ideal, hardly ideal, but necessary. Austerity now... or no nation later.
Walmart's business model (sourcing) will probably need to change.
Palin right yet again...libtards with egg on their face...
They poo poo’d her all week for saying inflation was already here...
Inflation has been with us for 200 years. In the New Testament the day’s wage of a laborer was one penny. Granted, that was probably not the same as the American penny. Still - - -
All you have to do is cruise the breakfast cereal aisle to know that we have food inflation.
Prices have doubled in the last 9 months or so.
“The govt CPI will forthwith begin reflecting consumer price increases except for the volatile food, energy, and Wal-Mart sectors.”
It’s inevitable.
If there were any justice, we'd be able to shoot the bastards for the common looters that they are.
Anyone comparing the price of steak? We eat loads of ribeye, and the price has almost doubled or the sales have simply disappeared. We used to get it for close to $6 a lb, but I’ve gotten accustomed to seeing $11-14 a lb.
