Cost of each item is about the same.
"shrinkflation" means we gotta buy more "items".
So yeah, it's up!
Probably about $100 a month. May not sound like much to some, but it's a pretty good bite out of our budget.

I have not done a disciplined study, but I am finding that many items have risen approximately 120% during Bozo Joe’s tenure.

I'm seeing about 30% here. But so many jumps & variables make it hard to track. Ya think you're paying 25% more for an everyday product untill you find that product is in a 10-15% lighter package.
And not just the measurable things, as I'm imagining that the quality of some items has taken a hit as well. I've sworn off a few products & a few restaurant's as I feel the price has not just gone up, but the quality is way down.

Another thing to watch for is 'buying in volume' quite a few things in the grocery store where the big bag/can/pack cost more per ounce than the small.

Big household here, wife, I, and 6 kiddos. We don’t buy meat from store outside of some breaded chicken once in while. Buy a beef every fall from a friend and we butcher. Same with hog. Beef is up just over 45%.
Groceries are up from $300 a month to almost 550 a month. Some from inflation, some from having kids grow. Either way nothing getting cheaper. Just part of life. Glad we can make do and have some money left to enjoy.

The shrinkage of products is really startlingly, in addition to increased cost. Anyone notice the size of yummie in the Oreo cookies, bet it isn’t half the size it once was, though the picture on the bag shows it nearly flowing out of the loaf. You get to looking and all products have shrunk substantially, and that’s darn sure not reflected in the cost of living index,

For us canucks, packaging has shrunk, prices have gone up and our dollar is down and inflation is up, thanks to Trudeau and liberals.

that’s darn sure not reflected in the cost of living index, The books have been cooked on the CPI for 30+ years. Probably the best source is ShadowStats' US Price Inflation, and a quick way to check that is Tom's Inflation Calculator. It puts price inflation from 2018 to 2022 at ~56%. To 2024 is probably another 15%. ![[Linked Image from i.ibb.co]](https://i.ibb.co/bzbRY9V/18to22.png)

this year we had a light winter but natural gas bill was 30% higher This sounds about right to me. It's a hell of lot more than 30 to 40%. Shrinkflation compounds, or perhaps better said, obfuscates the issue. Definitely an issue Trump should pound Traitor Joe Biden with. Speaking of which, Traitor Joe's would be a better name for the store front although Trader Joe's might not be so inclined to agree. And not just the measurable things, as I'm imagining that the quality of some items has taken a hit as well. I've sworn off a few products & a few restaurant's as I feel the price has not just gone up, but the quality is way down. Stranger, how long has it been since you've had a big, thick steaming bowl of Wolf Brand Chili? Well, not long enough because the last time I tried a can, it was thin, soupy slop -- a pale shadow of its former self.
