From what I understand petty much everything is cheaper today than it was years ago except housing and fuel when adjusted for inflation.

it definitely is. people's wages should be going up along with the costs of everything as well.

if you're stuck at a job that gives you an increase of 10% every 5 years, then you're behind the pace of inflation (~3%), so understandably, everything is getting more expensive. however, it's your employers fault you're not being compensated accordingly, not society, government, or businesses on a macro level.

Everything keeps going up. Just had to deal with it

IN the 1950's ppl spent 17% household income on food now it's down to 10% thanks to GMO's Enjoy your cancer.

Yeah, wow is right. But I think the corporations are bigger in the states and can't keep track of how many coupons they are giving out. I'm almost certain we can't pull off anything close in Canada.

I'm pretty sure those riots in egypt and tunisia all began because of the price of food.

without watching it (and basing off the show on tlc) all the products contained hfcs and wheat products.

It's dirt cheap to make and the profits are $$$ on those items.

Does anyone else think that it's almost cheaper to eat out for 1-2 people than to buy groceries and prepare all the food?

Most of the time when I buy grocery for 1-2 person, I end up getting left over unused food for my 1 meal. I always buying more than what I needed so that is added cost. Unless I buy more in larger cheaper quantities- ie. large 4L jug of milk rather than 1L.

Absolutely not, lol!

What is up with 2damaxmr2 just randomly failing posts?

uh no. The usual $30-40 dollars of groceries can last myself a whole week. You just need to know how to portion and cook your food.

watch Food Inc. it's a documentary on how food is supplied in the US and you'll see why it's soo cheap. . . . It's a good eye-opener.

Mcdonalds value meals for life.

Yuck, synthetic food LOL

may not really relate to inflation but... have you guys noticed that McDonalds just made everything double?

Double Qtr Pounder
Double big mac
Double fillet o' fish

i was in there yesterday to grab a quick bite, and i was like WTF -

Does a $ go further at mcdonalds or does it make it you fatter - leading to a burden on the healthcare system ? ?

That doesnt make sense, so you pay more when you eat alone? Pretty sure menu prices stay the same.

mmm nothing like eating processed food that's been subsidized by taxdollars (sugar and corn are heavily subsidized industries, corn is used to feed livestock) and then using coke or any pop to wash away the disgusting beef aftertaste and thin layer of fat in your mouth

my fucking bank account is feeling it.

Not when she ends up getting 90% of her stuff FOR FREE......:\

I know someone who is couponing and some stacks actually result in MAKING money by buying things.
