We see it here in Maine. Things are getting tough especially for the folk that are living on the edge already. Bible proficiency coming true before our very eyes. Man dominating man to his injury. Food shortage, wars and reports of wars, pestilence, earth quakes in one place after another. I can go on
Great video. Ground turkey has become one of my keys to saving on groceries lately. I can get a 3 pound container for around $10-$11 at Meijer. Very versatile when seasoned properly and the added benefit of less fat than beef.
I question will prices ever return to what we were paying? Meantime, when you have the means buy larger quantity or more of an item to get ahead of prices increasing. Keep hearing flour is going to be hard to get. Flour will keep a year in the refrig & yeast keeps forever in freezer, so I have been told. Did make bread with beer recently, very good. This and other channels have great bread, rolls, muffin recipes that are not complicated. You save money by baking and the taste is heaven.
One reason why meat is not going up so much is because there is a supply glut. Many independent ranchers are selling off their herds, flocks, etc., because it is too expensive to raise animals now, and they anticipate costs getting worse. The losses they are taking are too great to absorb.
There are only a handful of meat packers/ distributors in the US, and they essentially have monopoly control over the prices paid to producers for their animals. They are making massive windfalls from high retail prices, while putting independent ranchers, graziers, etc., out of business.
It is disgraceful, but Americans don't care so long as its not on a reality show, nor compressed into a "TikTok".
This is all a part of the "Great Reset". Those who had borrowed a lot during the boom are going to lose their land. The only ones with money right now are the huge agribusiness concerns and tech billionaires, and they will get these farms and ranches at huge discounts.
I don't know if my comment will help anyone but I buy my favorite ground coffee and stretch it by mixing a much cheaper one, always making sure I've tried the cheaper one before so as not to mess up my coffee flavor. If a small French Roast Folgers bag is on sale, I'll mix it with a can or bag of whatever else is on sale and compatible with the French Roast, such as Colombian coffee. For me, it sure makes a difference as it makes my coffee supply go a long way. And yes, I get a flavorful pot of coffee every time. ShopRite has a Bowl & Basket espresso (store brand), which is lovely on its own and much cheaper than the name brands. But I use it to mix my grounds or to boost any brand that may be on the light or weak side.
Wow, was absolutely not expecting such a large increase in just a month. Inflation may be over 8%, but you just saw a 7% increase in a month! How awful.
Great video Ken as always. Just wanted to say you guys are are not alone. Across the pond in the UK the exact same price raises are happening. Everything is costing more but the wages paid are not following this trend. I haven't had a pay rise in two years but fuel prices for example have increased ridiculously. Two pound per litre?? I can hardly afford to drive to work. Things are bad all over.b
Wow, thank you for this informative video. I haven't really been keeping track of this. I have been going to different stores, trying to get the cheapest price. I can't believe how much the coffee has gone up.
Ditto here in Northern AZ. Luckily I now have a garden going with fresh vegetables coming up. Of course, when I consider the price of good quality soil and additional water usage, I'm not sure if it really a saving. But fresh garden veggies are priceless and so delicious!! We also have a farmers market for additional produce and fresh eggs. I try to support local vendors too.
The price of vegetables here in Sydney Australia is through the roof because of all the rain we had – the fields were too boggy for machinery so they couldn't harvest OR replant. Lettuce is USD$7, a cabbage is $9. Carrots and frozen peas are still cheap and if you know where to shop you can still get reasonable value but the bigger concern is for small restaurants and cafes. They're paying way more for all input costs while everyone has less disposable income due to rising prices – especially fuel, electricity, and food. For the price of a modest café meal you can easily make dinner for 2 or more people so I think those businesses will really suffer – and they employ a LOT of people! Thanks for taking us shopping again Ken – that was fun. Oh and I was SHOCKED by the HUGE line of shopping trolleys outside! Surely if everyone of them was in use you wouldn't be able to move inside!!
I often have trouble finding the items I’m shopping for. And prices have gone up. I’ve had to resort back to using paper and pen to keep track so I don’t over buy. Then our grocery store likes to add an additional 10% on top of the subtotal and tax.
Because money is so tight I have to go from store to store for the best prices, in addition to buying less now than before inflation hit. Eggs are hovering in the 2.50/doz. range at Aldi and 1.25 for six at Dollar Tree….still a comparatively inexpensive, quality protein source.
I haven't been shopping much (maybe only once every month or so and then only when I actually run out of food), so I really notice those changes. The one item that has horrified me most is the cheap margarine that I buy at my local grocery (not WalMart)–this time last year, a pound was 85 cents; now, it's 1.65. Nearly double!
I've stopped looking at the total price on groceries and gas. I go in with a list and get the cheapest I can find. The total does matter but all that can be done is to not buy any?
Lettuce and chicken in my neighbourhood go up and down constantly. Right now lettuce is seven bucks! But chicken is sort of normal price. Thanks for the vid this is actually really handy. Please keep doing!
I meant 1.00 or can goods for .50. Cents. Not a 100.00 dollars lol. But if you get one extra, it's just going up.
Interesting to see the differences just between Walmarts in different states; I’m in the northeast and its definitely higher. Really scary stuff.
We see it here in Maine. Things are getting tough especially for the folk that are living on the edge already.
Bible proficiency coming true before our very eyes. Man dominating man to his injury. Food shortage, wars and reports of wars, pestilence, earth quakes in one place after another. I can go on
❤👍🌻
If this continues, I will have to stop playing scratch offs.
When you shop at Walmart make sure when you buy eggs to check the date..
I love your channel. We're growing ours and will definitely be sharing this video with friends.
I appreciate you doing this. We on all are feeling the pain.

I paid a little over $11.00 for a pound of ground beef at my Walmart here in Montana…OUCH!
Another great informative video Ken! Keep us informed ☺️

Hot here, too…we’re Day 3 of over 100…we won’t get out of the 100’s until next Friday…UGH!! Stay cool 😎
except that those same eggs were less than a dollar before covid
i’m concerned with having enough of the special food for my senior dog and 2 cats. i can eat peanut butter 3 times a day, but they can’t.

Oh gosh, luxuries are all but a thing of the past. Thank the Lord that we can still buy basics. Thank you Mr. Click😉
Thank you Ken

Prices aren’t going up, Walmart is gouging.the hell out of people like Walmart already haven’t benefited by Covid19!!👺
Thank you for sharing. I'm anxious to see what happens next month with those same 10 items.

If this continues by winter people will be in big trouble
