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.
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.

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.

yeah but often the quality is lesser on that side. you have to make a lot of informed choices to ensure you get the same quality. i wouldnt buy milk or meat in the states thats for sure. has anyone seen chicken at the US costco? $1/lb. something about that is just so wrong. food should not be so cheap.
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.
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 ? ?

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
