Anyone buy anything lately?

submitted by Blackbrownfreestuff from self.debatealtright

So like gas was $3.89 last fill up and now its $4.54. I bought a 15lb bag of supplies for my job and it was $14.99, then I realized I needed two bags to get the job done, went back to the store a few days later and It was $16.99. Also, the price of fish. I don't care for that farm raised shit. I only eat wild caught. Have you seen the price of wild caught salmon or mahi mahi?

Just wait a few months and we'll be at Weimar levels.

I finished preparing my chicken coop just in time. Btw, I don't think we will experience anything worst than the subprime crisis, really.

Thank God the only prices not going up are the tobacco prices. But yeah, it's getting bad really fast.

Car prices are still super high. Distilled water was double the price and unavailable where I live a few weeks ago. Vinegar was unavailable last month. Plastic products are higher. I bought some food vacuum sealer bags recently and they were outrageously priced. Bread products seem higher. Wood futures finally came down a few days ago but we will never see it at the consumer level. It will probably get worse. I heard something about a Urea shortage that's set to hit the diesel fuel market very soon. When that happens get ready for major issues. The price of everything is tied to diesel.

The spread between gas a diesel was the highest ive ever seen about a month ago. Gas was in the 3.70-3.80 range when diesel was 5.50 near me. Now gas is catching up.

Is that just based on lower demand? Not too familiar with oil markets or commodities in general

I won't go near a car dealer for quite a while. They're charging 2 or 3 thousand over MSRP where I live. Fuck that, I'll keep my old car running indefinitely if i have to.

Imagine being in a situation where you had to replace your car right now. Or owning a business where you need to add a vehicle.

My wife works with someone who's car was totaled in an accident. The insurance company isn't paying them enough money to replace the car they lost. The payout is based on old data that hasn't been updated based on current market conditions.

Almost bought a 5br house on 3 acres... but didn't want to buy at the top of this market. I'm sitting tight for at least the next year.

Also bought 1.5 dozen eggs for $5.69 the other day. That was shocking.

Rates might have to go up a lot more.

A piece of radio equipment was 80 euros last year and it's 110 euros right now. Bread has gone up a lot during the last few months, from 80 cents to 120 cents. Food prices are rising each day and pharmacies are out of drugs, including basic ones.
