Been a while since I bought olive oil, went looking for my usual brand. $48.

I don't remember the exact price last time, but I want to say $27? $28?

    I usually get the two pack (2x 3l, for 6l total) from Costco for $35. It is now one jug of the same as one of the two packs, but it is now $23 for 3l. $5.89/liter to $7.49/liter. Note this over a period of 2 years.

    The brand I like is either an import from Italy or Argentina (they do both), so it's got to be related to tarriffs I'd think.

    I know Spanish olive oil had a bumper crop and the prices dropped, but that didn't help me. LOL.

    I heard that RFK Jr. is working on a treatment for TDS using crystals, homeopathy, and acupressure. I am praying that they are able to find a cure for this terrible illness that is destroying our country!

    It's one banana Michael, what could it cost? 6.6% more than it used to? (I assume this is since he took office but it's not explicitly stated)

    Bankrupt a casino? How can You bankrupt a casino? He managed to bankrupt, what is basically a scam, and still calls himself a businessman.

    He did it 6 times, not 1.

    The answer is corruption, skimming from the top, and using company assets as if they were his.

    Sounds familiar

    This data is flawed because it doesn't take into account the increase in CEO bonuses and payouts. That should be enough to offset inflation for those who are rich enough and therefore actually matter and deserve to exist in peace. For the rest of us, we have to make do with trickle-down happiness.

    Did he lower them on day 1? Because technically maybe he didn't say he'd keep them low? 😅🤸‍♂️🤪

    I just re-upped my coffee beans for home. I knew it was going to be more than expected but was not prepared for just how much more. I don't go to Starbucks and the like but man those prices must be an insane jump as well.

    I honestly think the rising price of coffee is gonna end in violence. People will fight in the aisles to get their fix, I know I'm desperately addicted. I can grow my own cannabis and make my own beer and wine, but coffee only grows far away.

    Coffee has become more expensive all around the world though. Because harvests have failed.

    Yes, and egg prices were rising rapidly due to disease, not some economic mechanism, yet he still promised to that if he were in office it wouldn't have happened. So if he is going to promise on things outside of the control of the government, we should hold him to it.

    Well he also stopped monitoring for bird flu.

    Eggs here in Finland are still cheap.

    Also, coffee has remained relatively stable here too.

  • The big reason for the diseases is how the birds are housed. Most places have a maximum per building that is just a few thousand. The US doesn't, and often has 10s, if not hundreds, of thousands of birds in one building, which causes disease to spread insanely fast, and creates conditions that breed the diseases in the first place.

    When did this chart start? I was looking to buy steaks on friday and those fucking things were like 2.5X what they cost last time I bought one. Ended up with porkchops instead. Bourbon was cheaper though...

    I cook for someone who hates porkchops but loves steaks and we ran into a similar problem with outrageous prices. Found a happy medium in thick cut pork chops cooked like steaks. Think I ended up using Lawry's seasoned salt and some white/black pepper but cooking it in the same cast iron with some butter had it coming out with the same texture and flavor as the steaks.

    Interesting, I ended up making a stir fry with the ones I bought but that recipe is pretty much the same as how I cook steaks (although less time in the oven for those) I'll give it a shot some time.

    I’m not a fan of this administration and consider myself pretty far left. Having said that, I watch the egg prices from time-to-time because Trump loves to use this line about fixing the egg prices in one week. At the moment, seems like they are down? Could be the USDA is lying; could be the meme refers to CA prices, which are statistical outliers at the moment.

    I’d say the chart feels accurate for what I’ve experienced for prices. Energy has spiked so badly around us.

    eggs have been pretty stable here the last several months, but they're still over triple the 'pre pandemic' price.

    Yeah, the pandemic was a complete shift, and I have 0 faith in the current economic policy. Tariffs won’t yield benefit for the average American and will often cost them more. Isolationism is a terrible policy when our main “products” are financial services, and the average American would never accept the wages of the global south. Even if we had factory infrastructure (which we don’t), the margins don’t make sense. We’ve also got bubbles on bubbles of fictional value (micro loans, housing, AI…). Tech is also imploding for the average worker, so less middle class opportunities.

    I feel like my confidence in the American economy is at an all-time-low each day, lower than the last.

    I'm not sure I would trust the chart on that page. Not only does it conflict with the numbers lower down on the page, but it says the average price for a dozen eggs is like $3. Looking around online, the cheapest I could find for a dozen eggs (across multiple states) was over $3.

    Also, ancedotally, by me eggs have been going back up again from about $5.50 to over $7.
