Even when inflation isn’t in the news. It’s still inflation
Long before Biden , my electric bill tripled, the price of coal went up, groceries were more expensive. Prices on individual items went up and the amount of product in a package went down
A few years ago, I was in a checkout line at the grocery store talking to a clerk. She said she didn’t want the minimum wage to go up because prices would go up. I was stunned. She must not have noticed the price increases

Inflation is a killer, especially to those of us just getting by as it is. With this cooler weather and inflation, time to pull out the old crock pot - fill it up with all kinds of goodies and eat off of it for a couple of days

Make more money and don't worry about inflation.

Must be a good day for it! I’m making a soup with leeks and potatoes. I added a few pieces of bacon too
