I paid almost a dollar more per gallon this July for propane over last year.
Most likely won't have to buy again until next summer although we have had to buy again in late winter a couple times.
The grocery bill is really climbing here. I keep three freezers and rotate stuff, trying to buy on sale only. Not many sales lately.

When people have to choose heat or going out for dinner, they will choose heat. Restaurants, hotels, travel, will all suffer. Compound job loss. People wont drive, cars wont be sold. A collapse. But the only way to fix something is to have something broke. This is a plan to break the US and replace it as a soviet like state. Destruction is the plan. You make a very good point. When the cost of necessities rises, that is less money going into the broader economy. That is bad for the overall economy.

Not many sales lately. beef is never on sale, or what passes as a sale is still expensive pork chops, pork loin, ham and dark meat chicken are rotated regularly on sale here which helps if you stay on top of it. Little gas station down the road has some really good chicken. last year a 12 piece box was $12.99. They have raised their prices 3 times in the last year. its now $18.99

get that wood cut now...... Done - 4 full cords hauled into the pole shed three weeks ago. Same price over the last 6+ years; $150/C..
Get ready to pay sharply higher bills for heating this winter, along with seemingly everything else.
With prices surging worldwide for heating oil, natural gas and other fuels, the US government said Wednesday it expects households to see their heating bills jump as much as 54% compared with last winter.
Nearly half the homes in the US use natural gas for heat, and they could pay an average $746 this winter, 30% more than a year ago.
Those in the midwest could get particularly pinched, with bills up an estimated 49%, and this could be the most expensive winter for natural gas heated homes since 2008-2009.
The second-most used heating source for homes is electricity, making up 41% of the country, and those households could see a more modest 6% increase to $1,268.
Homes using heating oil, which make up 4% of the country, could see a 43% increase – more than $500 – to $1,734.
The sharpest increases will probably be for homes that use propane, which account for 5% of US households.
This winter is forecast to be slightly colder across the country than last year.
The forecast from the US Energy Information Administration is the latest reminder of the higher inflation ripping across the global economy.
Earlier Wednesday, the government released a separate report showing that prices were 5.4% higher for US consumers in September than a year ago.
That matches the hottest inflation rate since 2008, as a reawakening economy and snarled supply chains push up prices for everything from cars to groceries.
I have a fuel oil furnace, new in 2017.. But I use only about 50-75 gallons of oil per year and the gauge right now shows I have about 100 gallons left. I'll worry about it next year.. But overall, you're right - heating costs are really going to affect most people.. Thank you, Prez Demented!!! You POS...

Killer of a chef salad I used to get there for $6 all of a sudden is now $8.

I heat with a pellet stove. Pay for 5 ton early every summer, brought my first ton in yesterday. Price is already $15 more per ton than when I paid for mine.
Have oil for a back up but don't have to use it at all if I don't want to. I think I have about 3/4 tank left from last year. Wanted to do some traveling this year but the price of oil may keep me home.

And once price's go up.. They never go proportionally back down either.
Honk for Joey......
5-6 yrs ago there was a propane crunch attributed to running corn dryers. Propane went to almost $5/gal.in the winter. Since then , the most I have paid is $1.25/gal and that is this year. Granted we do a summer fill in July/August. Right now the price has jumped to $1.94. Yes the price will go up but it will come back down.

Is anyone surprised by this? really Exactly right...I am on another forum also... the Proverbial question 24-7-365... i.e, EVERY SINGLE DAY "When will ammo and reloading prices get back to NORMAL?" Simply un-fugging-believable... People failed to prepare for this fiasco... and are now lining in droves up for the blood clot shot (and a $10 K Mart Gift card)... because they are afraid. The gene pool of wannabe Patriots is simply terrifying... damnation... grow a set of balls for Pete's sake REALLY REALLY... did NO ONE SEE THIS COMING?
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

I locked in a price for propane last spring. Best $60 I ever spent looking at what it costs now.
