You haven't proven anything. You think you're right. You're not. ETA: Your argument is essentially "I read it on the internet so it must be true." The facts on the ground say otherwise.

We have a few of those as well. And yes, those prices have gone up too. It's all part of the grocery bill.

Gun thrown.

you don't know my wife very well. She keeps meticulous notes. I can break down our monthly expenses going back at least a decade. Quit while you still can.

My receipts are the only data I need.

You don't know what the fock you're talking about. HTH

Once again, and for the last time, the trip to the grocery store during the Trump years, resulted in more bags, full of more expensive stuff at about half the price of the fewer bags full of lower quality stuff today. From paper towels to wine. You name it, we've down graded and bought less of it and we're paying twice as much for it. About the only thing we haven't skimped on is coffee and toilet paper. But there is less of both of those in the cupboard as well. So when I'm paying double, for much fewer, lower quality groceries, than I was paying 4 years ago, I think I'm being generous when I say prices have tripled. If I were to go out an buy the same products I used to, in the same quantities, the price would probably be quadruple what it was then.

Anybody who says the cost of living isn't significantly higher now than it was 4 years ago is either a liar or an idiot. Or both.

First of all, why do you guys want to keep comparing Biden years to Biden years? Second of all, from your link: According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, prices for food are 27.05% higher in 2023 versus 2018 (a $54.10 difference in value). Between 2018 and 2023: Food experienced an average inflation rate of 4.90% per year. This rate of change indicates significant inflation. In other words, food costing $200 in the year 2018 would cost $254.10 in 2023 for an equivalent purchase. As I've said numerous times, she's buying fewer groceries and cheaper brands in many cases. So they aren't "equivalent purchases" and our receipts don't lie.

"Only" Yeah, a cheapskate shopping for one prolly hasn't noticed much difference. My wife used to splurge and spend $200 a week on groceries. Now she's buying less and buying cheaper brands when acceptable, and she's spending $400 a week. Now, some dumbass will be along shortly to say "$200 to $400 is double, not triple." But like I said, she's buying less and she's buying cheaper brands in some cases. So, yeah, groceries have damn near tripled here. But hey, no more mean tweets. And that's the important thing.

That was from '21 to '22. I wonder what the numbers are from '18 to '23. And that sh!t hurts everybody who is still working and looking to save for retirement. You can't get those dollars back.

I'm not from San Francisco but it's "The City" where I come from.
