What Insane/Crazy Price did You Pay Today?

[dirttoys]

When I stop to realize that I'm sitting here in a comfortable office chair, in a warm house, with broadband Internet, TV, and plenty to eat, that I'm not dodging missiles, drones, tanks, and artillery shells, somehow dealing with inflation doesn't seem quite so tough...

While it certainly beats lying in a ditch in the winter with only your clothing labels to read. It should not be minimized, there are others that are impact more than yourself, and the long term down side might eventually get to you/us.

Best,

220 pesos for a bottle of Tanduay rum at puregold in Olongapoe mall. About $2.10 in US dollars. A bottle of coke to go with it was about 10 pesos.

I live like near 30 miles east of Naples , Fl very near you might say on the sw side of lower Fla where the everglades start . Was in Naples last week , felt like lunch so decided to try a Maine theme like lobster roll joint called My---c Lobster . Ordered a lobster roll and a bottle of water . I almost fell over when it arrived it was on like an 8" hoagie type bread with lobster meat , and the smallest little plastic cup of coleslaw you ever saw . I swear . I didnt think the lobster was even that tasty . I felt like I got screwed good . This little "sample" was $25 . Not includeing tip . Never again not even for free will I go there . Oh did I tell you's I left there "hungry " . Run from Myst-c Lobster ! ..........

$1.029 very interesting April 2020 start of pandemic, everything shut down, oil down to $20/bbl. I checked my truck record book back to 2008 and saw I was paying between $3.599 and $3.899 then. Sudden realization gas price horrible now, was horrible then (same station from 2008 today has $3.899 gasoline, $4.799 diesel, ironically same as fall of 2008).

I wasn’t paying anything near what I am fo fuel then as I am now no matter what state of the country I filled up in.
A person I know tried to say the same thing as you that it’s about the same. I showed him receipts and asked him for the same then his story changed dramatically.

Why would you take your vehicle to get fixed if it's not broke?

How many people do you know who do their own work, only going to the garage or things like alignments or to get the computer scanned?

Here are some fun (not so much) before and after. I was reordering some chemicals I use; I typically buy them every few years, so I went back in my order history.

Aug 2019
2.5G Glyphosate Plus - 61.90
1G Bifen XTS - 115
1G Imidacloprid - 70

Today
2.5G Glyphosate Plus - 136
1G Bifen XTS - 175
1G Imidacloprid - 120

Inflation at 10%. Yeah, sure. This is close to 2X in 3 years. And it's not like these are isolated to just field chemicals. I don't even want to talk about fertilizer, what's that up, 3X in the last few years?

Let's no go politcal here. First of all there is no "build back better", no bill was ever voted on. And blaming any US president for global fuel shortages or demand spikes is pretty asinine anyway. The US does not control petroleum pricing.

I remember paying $5 for diesel in Bush's last year also. Adjusted for inflation, that would be over $6.50 today.

Let’s not go political, then you went there.

Since I am Tesla driver I don't give too much about gas prices

But y-day was time to refill tractor...

Friend of mine have developed strategy, how to fill car those times.
Just enjoy automatic payment.
Swipe card on reader, put "gun" in tank and let it run. Without looking on counter.
It's OK, if you cry at this moment. Few tears doesn't mean you are weak or broke.
Just wait the click, put gun back, head still down, without looking on figures. Just jump in car and leave ASAP. Dont look back, don't think about that


As I am talking only about CUT, I allowed to hurt myself a little and I break those rules. I was looking on figures.
For tractor's diesel I have 10 Liters can.... To make it full takes 20.4 €
