Life Inflation Watch Thread - Holy Guacamole - Page 12

I guess some of that liquidity is hitting the system now. Just went grocery shopping and stopped at the Fish Market. After that I went to Target to pick up a foam roller. $3 avocado, really? $43 a pound for King Crab up $5lb. in just the last week. $30.76 a pound for Halibut. Target had a foam roller for $26.95 plus tax for a piece of friggen foam. Hello Amazon. Went to SF the other day and got two martini’s. The damage, $30 plus tax and tip and some other fee they hitting customers up for these days to pay for their employees health care, all for a couple splashes of vodka. The black market is really going to start flourishing. I already source and buy all of my food directly in Southern Oregon and bring it back down with me. It’s all cash only, even the butcher. I would like to have those kinds of contacts here but it is a lot harder. Southern Oregon is a unique place. So what’s it like where you live and where are you seeing inflation and how are you dealing with it? Unfortunately I think this is just the very beginning especially when it comes to quality food.

That sucks because all the others are sold out already too. Apparently people are on to this whole meat is going to soar in price thing, everyone seems like they are sold out already so if you guys are going to get this done I suggest you get on it.

I love living in Southern Oregon because of the unbelievable deals I get on food out there amongst other things. This weekend I just decided to move my family back to the bay area after the next school year though so most of that may be a thing of the past. I gotta figure that one out. I miss my family too much though and my boy has had enough of this part time dad dealio. Now that we decided I can't wait to get them here.

currently pricing freezers.

You might want to put a turbo on that. I have never seen everything sold out so early, not even close.
