Sticker Shock!!! I just priced BUTTER, and it is up to $5.29 for 4 sticks!!!!

They are definitely "sticking" it to us...😰

I can't remember EVERY price before inflation, but I remember ALWAYS paying $3.99 for store brand butter. I thought that was expensive.

What are some pre-Biden and post Biden prices you remember from YOUR local grocery store?

I've seen absurd jumps in food prices. The latest was the asparagus at our local market listed for $4.99/lb. The gov't took food and fuel prices out of the overall market basket used to calculate inflation. That's not Biden's doing. Food and fuel were jettisoned during the Clinton admin. Regardless, inflation is much higher than the reported 8%.

@BizSuitStacy Senior Citizens on fixed incomes will receive, (supposedly), an 11 per cent cost of living increase NEXT January, but food and fuel costs have DOUBLED in most cases!!! Seniors are about to get very lean and mean.

@4meAndyou Yeah. Biden admin touting it as the biggest increase ever or something silly like that. But people on fixed incomes are still losing.

@BizSuitStacy I'm sure they will have plenty or Ramen Noodle soup and rice to eat...but after paying for their heat, and the gas to get to the grocery store, and their medicine...not much else.
