Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire going to be a long cold winter - and expensive too

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.

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.

get that wood cut now......

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.

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

And once price's go up..
They never go proportionally back down either.


Honk for Joey......

If we had only all gotten the shots......we wouldn't be in this mess.

Yes Jim.... this is all the anti-vaxers fault....

Is anyone surprised by this? really
