(2,415 posts)20. Car insurance went up $200 a half, last month.
Car is 18 months old, no tickets or accidents .insurance agent says increase is due to Covid! This in 1/24! Looking around for another company but of course the house and other things are bundled so each policy would have to be replaced. Really tiresome! Food prices are kept in check be shopping sale items, coupons and 5% senior discount on Tuesdays. 🤣😂 We try smaller portions, stopped using paper towels altogether and freeze all leftovers so they dont get pushed to the back of the fridge and wasted. Ahhh the life post Covid.

+1. Unit price increases across many categories are huge - it is sheer profiteering at this point

And some here act like everyone got all this extra income in raises, so we are way ahead of inflation

Bummer! So many ways the super wealthy in charge are demanding more and more of our money.

Definitely not toasted bread! I have to confess, I never quite developed a liking for apple butter,
