Thanks a lot Putin!

If only these boys could read. The reality is that inflation increased 10%.

 

Not to 10%. Currently, inflation is 7.9%

They shrank the cans a few years back.

Now let’s use some of the older calculation methods…

Wait and see what happens if the Saudi / Chinese deal goes through. 

Keep talking about Russia though

Even so, it's crappy iced tea, you can get a whole gallon of almost any iced tea for 2 bucks.

Very few potatoes at the store today.  I heard bacon has gotten really expensive but I generally don’t eat bacon

Bacon was 8.99lb last week here in the DC Metro Area.

*demand

And yes, profits greed is part of it too.

More like too much money pumped into the system. 

Bacon at my local butcher, is $6.99 a pound, sliced to order.

I trim the fat off of the bacon we buy so it's basically double the cost for what I end up with by the time I'm done. I know it's unhealthy to eat it at all, but still try to keep the saturated fats to a reasonable level. 

I rarely eat bacon. I've never liked the amount of fat on it. 

I did however have a Kona dry aged steak from Capital Grille at a work function last night. Rare. Shallot butter and added some wild mushrooms. 

I haven't had a steak in a while because of dieting, and it was fantastic.

I eat it about once a month. Usually 2 pieces on a burger that I've made. If I do eat it with breakfast I only eat one or two pieces. 

I feel there is nothing wrong with eating it, but most people need an entire plate of bacon. It's a powerful, rich flavor and I don't have the desire to have more than a couple strips at a time. 

Dishwasher broke three weeks ago.  Still waiting for the new one to ship.  They said it might take a month or two.  Wife has been proven an inadequate replacement.

I use it in pasta, in stuffing, potato skins, I'll have a piece if I'm making it with eggs for the kids, on occasion to wrap a filet, etc.

Definitely started eating it much more often now that we have kids. Ate it once in a while before then.

Oh I use it in cooking here and there. I make "dirty corn" with it, my wife absolutely loves it.  It it's 2 strips diced in a lb of corn lol, I don't even count that.

Honestly, $6 for a BLT in NYC doesn't sound all that bad.

But I honestly don't think many ishlibs can comprehend how big of a deal the rapidly rising cost of food is. 

Pretty sure a BLT was about that price several years ago :lol:

Good. More for me.

$6 for a sandwich in NYC? I wouldn't eat that...definitely going to make someone sick.

Well I got gas this morning for under $4.00 and it looks to be heading lower every day. I’d just like to thank the great President Biden for ending the fuel crisis in like 2 weeks.

I'm one of those weird people who actually like turkey bacon more. 

Yes yes, judge me now. 

I miss being close enough to the Amish market in Newtown to grab their turkey bacon. Though I bet None Such Farm Market has some... I'll have to look. 

That said, I prefer regular old breakfast sausage over all of them if I'm going with some kind of homestyle breakfast.
