Inflation everywhere?

[Reality]

The shrinking products bother me most, because that’s an increase they’re trying to impose surreptitiously.

Examples: tuna cans from 6oz to 5oz, store brand yogurt from 8oz to 6oz, “half gallon” ice cream from 2 quarts to 1.75 quarts to now 1.5 quarts, Haagen Dazs pints now 14oz.

At least some toilet paper is narrower than before which was obvious when seeing some older and newer product stacked together. There are no doubt dozens of other products that have shrunk.

[quote=SD Realtor]I had posted awhile back that we were indeed seeing inflation all around us, especially in food prices. Some other posters out there did not seem to feel the same way and pointed out how certain items have gotten cheaper. I do agree that this is true but I cannot feed my kids a cell phone plan with unlimited minutes.[/quote]

Yep!

And why does nobody look at asset price appreciation/INFLATION: stocks, bonds (including mortgages), gold, houses, etc…ALL UP by tremendous percentages over the past two years! People think that the prices seen during the “financial crisis” were an anomaly, but those were the TRUE, fundamental prices for things, absent the pricing pressure caused by unsustainable debt.

Inflation is everywhere, and has been for the past two years, and those who don’t see it are certainly not paying attention.

Thanks for the info bearishgurl. I don’t think I’ve ever been shopping before noon, but now I’ll have to try it. One silver lining I guess to the inflation issue is my mortgage will definitely seem like less in a fairly short time period. Since it is my largest monthly cost I guess that is a good thing.
