Whoa… just looked at my local grocery store weekly flyer and coupon deals for the week… and seeing “sale” prices have jumped to higher than the regular prices I have been paying the past month or so, for items I regularly buy.
Other items, such as in the bakery, are now being packaged with half the count of items they did just last week. Then there is a “sale” price that is less than the price last week… until you double it to get the same count and one realizes the price has gone up by 25%.
This is crazy inflation.
This will affect the election.
I know may Democrats are hoping that anger over abortion will be enough this fall to hold onto the majority in Congress, but with inflation that I am now seeing I doubt it will be enough.
Voters will respond to the rapidly increasing prices.
