The news media and government downplay the effect of inflation in America. In this video, several real-world examples are provided that show how prices have changed from 2020 compared to 2024.
These examples are merely a random sampling of what Americans face every day. Beyond food – necessities such as fuel and housing have also skyrocketed. While many are frustrated it seems that many have adapted and simply accepted this “new normal.” I find this incredibly frustrating.
I know many of us are fed up with the actions of our government. Their policies and corrupt actions continue to wastefully spend tax dollars in many ways the people do not support.
I digress. The video below shows several random inflation examples.
Please consider sharing this video with like-minded folks and also comment on how inflation has impacted you and your family.
Take care all –

I’ve done like you and gone back through my Walmart purchases. It’s depressing. Even as recently as 2 years ago, I was spending roughly $40 two or three times a month to buy pretty much anything I wanted, whether it was necessary or not. Now I’m spending $80 every 2-3 weeks on just the basic necessities. I’m rationing nearly everything I use.
Dish soap and shampoo seem to have a lot more water in them these days, so they don’t go as far while the prices have risen. Chunky soups sold in case lots on Amazon have dropped from 18 oz to 16 oz. My electric bill has nearly doubled, and car insurance is 40% higher.
For the first time in my life, I’m routinely running out of OTC meds and hygiene items. I’m using my food storage faster than I’m replacing it. It’s scary to think what things are going to be like in another year.
Thanks for sharing SingleMom. So many are struggling and a large percentage as you mentioned are barely making it. I see no relief in the future and really no solutions other than just keep moving forward.
it’s always just been my wife and i for 39yrs. we don’t buy anymore than we did 5 yrs ago and the grocery bill has doubled. from 75 a week to 150. we have always planted large gardens but fertilizer has gone from 20 dollars a hundred lbs to 50 in 4 yrs. its cheaper to by from the local farmers and local fruit stands now than it is to grow it ourselves. bare in mind that when we plant we plant in acres. G90 sweet corn seed was 40 bucks a lb this year. thats about 200 dollars a acre in seed and a hundred dollars in fertilizer.
john, how much money do you have invested in your small garden ? will it feed you for a year or more ? and no, deer and squirrel’s wont feed you for long. chickens long term won’t sustain you forever, we have kept and swapped them them forever. 6 yrs if your lucky with a hobby farm. i have a real good Incubator but it takes a constant supply of 110 volt power for 28 days to get chicks.
there has to be a cheaper way and organic/compost won’t cover 5 acres.
we have always practiced crop rotation and soil management but without a fertilizer you won’t make much even if the seeds you store come up.
i always try and think long, long term as in it’s never coming back. i feel that if i’m ready for that i’ll be ahead of most. i’m retired, bored, and its something to do.
Thanks for sharing Scout. I’m going to respond in more detail shortly.
