Seeing pricing going up everywhere

Pricing has been going nuts on everything it seems. A lot of it makes no sense other than some are trying to make up income because of loss of sales during the "pandemic" restrictions... A lot of peeps are saying it's because of oil prices, like the tire increases and most petroleum products that started this month, although oil is pretty steady at around $60 a barrel. Some of it is the China tariffs, I can see and understand that part. I saw this coming, that's why I stocked up so much and bought some of my new equipment when I did. Most equipment is going way up too, my new Iron worker with the extra attachments went up $2000.00 since I bought it.

I hardly eat out at all but even my McDoubles at McD's went from $1.29 each or 2 for $2 to 1.99 each, a 100% price increase on 2 of them is really sad. There is a way around that though, every receipt has a buy 1 one get one free if you fill out a short survey on the receipt.

I've gotten notices from almost every supplier that May 1 prices are going up, the last one was Stens a few days ago. Just giving everyone a heads up that if you have plans to buy anything do it now because this isn't over yet and I know prices will continue to go up.

Great just what we dont need and i can just by the skin of my teeth get by every month without price increases....whats a poor man going to do.............

Fill out the receipt coupons, use other coupons, shop for deals, and anything else we can do I guess...

I'm going to the farm this afternoon to do more cleanup and work on saving some on the electric bill this Winter, which by the way is going up too.
