How are you guys dealing with food inflation?
>>20422301Not eating goyslop fast food garbageOnly reason they're hiking prices up is they know half the country has no ability to cook their own food and they have no other option than to subsist off fast food.
I complain on whichever delivery app I used that the bag was open and fries were missing and get a free mealI select one of the other three dozen apps and do it againI haven’t paid for delivery since 2021
The only people I know who still eat fast food are all morbidly obese and don't know how to cook.
>>20422310you're ruinin it for all the honest people
>>20422301i have over 8 billion longpig in reserve.friendly reminder: vaxx cooks out.
By not voting for a literal potato in the next election..
>>20422306Are you retarded? Prices have gone up like crazy for the most basic ingredients like eggs and oats. Cooking your own food might actually be more expensive because you pay a lot more for the ingredients than the places that can buy in bulk.
>>20422907LOL you're a dumbfuck who can't cook, just admit you're addicted to your goyslop.
>>20422932I have not eaten anything i have not cooked myself for like the last five years but nice try.
>>20422301>actual inflation>isn't based on anything in realityk
>>20422907>cooking is more expensive because you have to have a home to do it inFFS kill yourself. How do you even get past the captcha?
If I'm forced to eat at any of these places, I scrutinize the ever-loving fuck out of them. Floors, ceilings, bathrooms, quality of food, speed of service, staff friendliness, etc. If even a single one of these is amiss, I mean even in the slightest, I write to the corporate office about how it ruined my experience. I'll go out of my way to name and shame employees who I believe have fallen short of expectations. I'll happily put a single mother and her mongrel children on the street if these fucking corporations expect me to pay these prices, and I don't feel the smallest bit bad about it.
>>20422301Any delivery app has atrocious security and anti fraud systems. So if you can put 2 and 2 together you'll never have to pay for anything.
>>20422963And I know you clowns think I'm being funny, but I'm not. I'm a weapons-grade asshole and have personally seen to the dismissal of a majority of a McDonald's crew in Florida. The negresses there were too busy talking about their stupid-ass hair instead of tending to the drive-thru or making sure orders were done in time. I specifically called them out in my complaint and they were all gone within a week.
>>20422301My surplus at the end of each month is over half of my salary, so it makes no noticable difference to me.
>>20422907Quarter pounder with cheese from Macdons: 6.39Homemade: ~$2.114oz ground beef - $1.25Bun: $0.362 slices american cheese: $0.20Condiments: <$0.30Eat shit dude
>>20422301i started making more money
>>20423019Yeah, that's what it costs to make the second burger at home. To make the first you have to buy a PACKAGE of buns and a PACKAGE of cheese and enough condiments to last a year and so on. Once you're up and running as a home cook the ongoing costs can be quite reasonable, but getting there costs a lot more than a Happy Meal.
>>20422898>he thinks voting matters
>>20423153Yeah except I have this thing called a freezerIts a device that you can put food into so. It doesn't go bad, so you can buy things like ground beef and buns and then you don't have to make the entire batch every time you want a burger.Whats next - are you gonna suggest that ubering everywhere is more cost effective than owning a car? Will you argue the price of 1 car trip is actually $10,000 because you need to buy an entire car to do it?
>>20423153these fucking retards say cooking is cheap but i had to buy a whole goddamn stove range, so much for 5$ carbonaraill be eating panera everyt day for my life to save money over you cooking faggots
I started preparing for it 2 years ago.You guys should probably start considering how to get out of large population areas, quickly. And where you will go.
>>20423164Actually yeah, ubering everywhere can be more cost effective than owning a car, depending. It's a cap ex versus op ex thing. Capital expenditures and operating expenditures are very different types of spending. There are situations in which op ex is favorable over cap ex even though cap ex would be cheaper in the long run.
>>20423199Cheap beater: $1300 2002 Toyota Sienna w/ 120kLiability Insurance: $130/6 monthsMaintenance: $300/yr (do all work by self, tires every 4 yrs, oil every 7k)Registration: $30/yrThats $460/yr to own the vehicle The $1300 initial cost is retained as value in the asset, as long as you don't wreck it you can sell the car when you're done, it's no longer depreciating at that age. You would have to spend less than $460 on ubers to get everywhere per year than to own a car. In the USA this is basically impossible unless you're a shut in who doesn't leave the house, a NEET who has mommy drive them everywhere, or someone living in the 3% of this country that has everything you need within walking distance.
>>20422939who the FUCK lies on the internet, wtf man, you're gonna ruin it
>>20423221>what is the cost of gas
>>20423221I'm more inclined to trust aaa's numbers than yours https://www.aaa.com/autorepair/articles/What-Does-It-Cost-To-Own-And-Operate-A-Car
>>20423221>repair your car yourself broYeah, for the 99% of the country that doesn't want to learn a new profession just to flex on the internet, this isn't an option.
>>20423221>Buy $1300 car>Try to sell it for the same inflation-adjusted cost years later when it's in even worse shape, older, and parts are even harder to get lol
>>20423019>4oz ground beef - $1.25LOL i wish, maybe if you live in Texas
>>20422907>Cooking your own food might actually be more expensiveCooking your own food is much, much cheaper. You can't shoplift a big mac but you can steal pretty much everything you need to cook at home, which really helps drive down the overall price.
>>20423265beef goes on sale for $3 or less pretty much everywhere, check your flyers.
>>20422301Where is Panda Express on that chart? I find it hard to believe that Biden's biggest economic ally (China) would have any kind of incentive to provide Americans with cheap food.
>>20422974>he goes to mcdonald's frequently enough to be familiar with the entire staff and notices when specific employees come or go
>>20422301You gotta appmaxx if you want fast food on the cheap these days, if you're still paying base menu price you're a sucker.
>>20423297>he goes to mcdonald's frequently enough to be familiar with the entire staff and notices when specific employees come or goHe probably got fired from that same store. Probably because nobody liked him. Sounds like a white boy to me.
>>20422301Inflation is my fetish so I've been having the time of my life
>>20423165This. To cook food I would have to buy a house or at least pay rent every month. Explain to me how that's cheaper than buying mcdick's with my panhandling money and just phoneposting from the homeless shelter? PS I get more junkie pussy in one month than you cookfags will ever see in your life

>>20422907>Cooking your own food might actually be more expensive because you pay a lot more for the ingredients than the places that can buy in bulk.wow you wiggers really don't know how to cook, huh?
>>20422301Dealing with fast food inflation rather wellDon't eat much of it Exception is Wendy's breakfast sandwich The deal has been 2 for 3 bucks this is good when it comes to egg and cheese biscuits although I'd rather the muffin and ask for it all the time, not all locations swapThe other thing I get at Wendy's are plain baked potatoes to add to my salads and treat them as if they were a piece of meat
if you eat fast food and dont order through the restaurants' app to get hella deals and skate thru zogflation unscathed then you deserve to have your money stolen like the retard you are
>>20425721>dude just sell your data so they can make millions off your eating habits so you can save $1 on a shitty hamburgernah
>>20422301By voting for Trump
>>20422301Food is expensive as fuck nowadays! I just went to Meijers this morning (I go 2-3 times a month) and paid $107.36 for:$1.25 X 8 - Idahoan instant mashed potatoes packs$1.65 X 2 - Bush's baked beans (the 8.3oz baby cans)$2.00 X 4 - Campbells Chunky soup$2.48 X 1 - bag of mini pita bread (I still had some Steve's Mediterranean Chef garlic toom on hand)$2.68 X 2 - gallons whole milk$4.29 X 1 - Meijers colby jack cheese 1lb$6.39 X 1 - Hellmann's mayonnaise 30oz (why is THIS stuff so much?)$9.99 X 1 - Hillshire Farms honey ham 1.34lb$7.99 X 1 - Meijers mustard potato salad 3lb$7.50 X 2 - Tyson breaded frozen chicken tenderloins 1.56lb bags (this was on sale from $9.29 each)$3.49 X 2 - Hostess cherry cheese danish$9.19 X 2 - Mountain Dew 12-packs$9.19 X 1 - Coke 12-pack
>>20426344you can get soda a lot fucking cheaper than 20 bucks for 3 12 packsif you must consume the syrup go generic it tastes the fucking same
>>20426344>premade shit>canned soder and soup>instant taterpoor americans deserve to be poor
>>20426455>go generic it tastes the fucking sameMaybe for Coke but there is no generic version fo Mt.Dew>>20426485>time has no costMust be nice to lounge around all day chopping, peeling, stirring, washing and other time consuming parts of cooking.
Just so you know every fast food chain have different prices according to the state's minimum wage laws
>>20426692Moon Mist bitch

>>20426692hillbilly brewa 20oz bottle is like 50 cents

>>20422301costco hot dogs
>>20422301My local marketplace has a 'reduced' corner where they mark things down that are about to expire. I simply go there early in the morning before all of it is swiped. Picked up a couple 18ct jumbo eggs for $2 each. 3lbs of hamburger for $1.89/lb. Stuff like that. Freeze the meat and I'll go through that many eggs within 10 days when they "expire".
>>20422306Yes and now. If they use their apps and check regularly fast food is still pretty cheap. Like in my area there is always a $1 menu item at mcdicks. Either 10 piece nuggie. Crispy chicken sandwich. Double cheese burger. Wendy's has dave's single and doubles for $1-2 each. Arby's let's you get a $9 1/2lb roast beef for $2.89 by buying some curly fries. It is not always all that healthy but it is still pretty cheap if you bounce between them. One of them usually has a pretty good deal.
>>20426779Yeah it's very simple.Don't be a MORON or a DUMMY - just use the app.Just install all the apps to get the best value. All your favourite celebs and sports stars use the app!"Ice on my chain (brrr), yellow lam wheels,(skrrrt!) I use McDonald's app (yup) to get the best deals." -- Travi$ ScottThe best and brightest just use the app, and get great deals every day on the meals you most enjoy.Ba da da ba ba! Use the app.
>>20426835So after you're done working off that stroke mind trying to make a point? I have not paid more then 1/4th price for any fast food meal in like 5 years. The meals endorsed by celebs are fucking rip offs. The deals are legitimate deals buried in some terrible deals meant to siphon more money out of you. Pick and choose the good ones and you can eat very cheap.
>>20422323i eat fast food and im thin and i can cookwhat do u think about that??? am i an alien to u??? maybe u should think twice next time tough guy or u might end up with the quick 1 2*kyah**kyaah*(that was me showing u my martial art skills)
>>20422301>Actual inflation >Ricing prices?????
Can someone explain to me why inflation causes prices to rise, and can they also explain why there are SO MANY smoking hot deals on the apps for fast food chains?
>>20427010Because all the data they're collecting from you is worth more than the $4 "discount" coupon they gave out
>>20427010>why does inflation cause prices to riseBecause that is the definition of inflationAlso apps usually have 4-6 deals going on. 1 is usually pretty good while the others are only really like 1-2 bucks off or $5 off but makes you buy way more then you normally would to get the saving. Also they sell your meta data but who the literal fuck isn't these day?
>>20427010Gotta be a zoomed, rare to find millennials who don't understand marketing tricks or ways that companies can siphon cash from you. Only genZ raised on no ads content have this little brainpower since they didn't need to fight ads.
>>20427010Government printing money and making you pay for it
>>20427110>Government printing money and making you pay for itYou mean like with taxes?
>>20422301Cooking my own food. Even now have my own garden. Soon a wife...just like the good old days.
I just farm, cultivate, harvest, and process my own food now.
>>20427140same but instead of food it's spice (it must flow)
>>20422301A lot of people are shitting on your graph but don't realize that the average american diet includes an enormous amount of fast food slop, so the big increase in prices hits hard.
>>20427188>true inflation not weighted by rate of consumptionThis makes sense. Jew trick identified
>>20427140post cheeseburger pic
Starbucks inflation is a lie, the cup is 95% ice now
>>20422301I have a job.
>>20422301https://youtu.be/66ISDVKhdpc
>>20427930the cup could be 95% air with a drop of coffee and these fucking thots would still pay 7 dollarsi have 4 sisters and when i was younger when we all lived at dads you would find their starbies cups all over the place with one sip taken out of eachthey dont buy the things to drink them they just want the status of carrying it around
>>20427117inflation is a meta-tax of sorts. any time an abundance of money is printed, the economy's assets are mismanaged. asset/resource mismanagement causes economic hell. when there is an increase in the circulating supply of a given currency in an economy, inflation occurs. think of it like a balloon. keep in mind that inflation does not scale linearly, threadrelated. inflation is well over 30% but everything costs more than 30% of what it did a few years ago. another reason to hate the jews and international banking.
>>20427110>>20427998It's a 'tax' for people that have a lot sitting in cash savings. But cash is meant to be used not a long term store of value. Stop worrying about cash and keep your money in inflation adjusted stores of value. The real problem is when inflation outpaces wage growth.
>>20422974imagine being proud of that
The absolute gall of these dumb goys when they don't hand us over their money to store for them then get mad at us when inflation eats into their savings. Be a smart shabbos goy, not a stupid one!
>>20422974>And I know you clowns think I'm being funnyDon't worry, no one thinks you're funny.
>>20428006agreed random nigga. agreed. it's never good to hold onto pure cash since it's a depreciating asset and is inflationary by default. inflation has outpaced wage growth for a long time now. i don't see it getting any better unless something awesome happens to the federal reserve.
>>20422301>How are you guys dealing with food inflation?i eat basic food that requires little human involvement. So food inflation has not effected me much.
>>20422907People will ree at you, but I know what you mean. There is a place near mine that sells a two for one rice bowl for $6.50 which is 1.5kg of food. Meanwhile 400g of chicken is $29
>>20423221straight up delusional
>>20422301I'm not poor.
>>20422907Grocery prices have gotten insane in rural areas, when I visit my parents, the odd time I go into the Safeway there I can't believe how expensive it is.
>>20422974This made me laugh but I hope it's not true
>>20428049kroger bought safeway so dont expect them to get better only worse
>>20423540kek
>>20427998Any good intro books and/or youtube channels/videos/documentaries for someone that knows nothing about how the economy works and wants to learn?
>>20428077honestly stay away from reddit and /biz/. read: reminisces of a stock operator, rich dad poor dad, end the fed, how the economy grows and why it crashes. learn what the differences are between currency and money. when it comes to the stock market: "buy low, sell high" & "time in the market beats timing the market" are simple yet effective tips. always buy a dip/crash. always. my final tip: learn how to read 10-K's from the IRS to acquire quantified metrics of which companies are and aren't worth investing in.
I bought a small fish and it inflated like 5x now I'm ruined
>>20426698Michigan here and while I've never seen the other brands, Faygo Moon Mist is poor alternative for Mt.Dew.
>>20427004It's showing how much faster the price of fast food is increasing versus that of inflation in general.
>>20428059And now Kroger is buying Albertsons.
>>20422907>eggs$1.44/dz in my area>oats$3.49/42oz in my area.How much are you paying?I feed a family of three (me, wife, kid) for about $400ish/month.
>>20428049>SafewayIs always overpriced /unless you're buying stuff on sale/ and using their digital coupons.>>20428714...Albertsons IS Safeway. Same company, just regional names. My area has both Safeway and Acme, both of which are Albertsons stores. I think Jewell, Osco and Jewell-Osco are, too. Likely others as well.
>>20422301/bick/ - Food and Finance
>>20422301Ordered cheaper stuff. Stopped ordering meals with drinks and dug into the value options.But then I just stopped eating fast food entirely.I now eat fast food maybe once a month.
>>20422301By buying fresh and in season, straight from the source. I pay my fish 5€ for 2kg. In supermarkets it costs 20€ per kg.
>>20426344It's "Meijer" not "Meijers"
>>20422301>>20422301how are these prices calculated? mcdonalds is literally the only place i go because its still cheapi can get 1000 calories (basically 2 big macs) for $3.481500 if you do the free sandwich with receipt survey
>>20422963>>20422974not only do i find it humorous, but i applaud you. keep doing your community this excellent service.
>>20422301Learn the scams and avoid them.Quesadillas were my favorite but the chicken burrito has the same tortilla/chicken + more ingredients and is less than half the price.This isn't about inflation, it's a scam they're blaming it on.
I just saw another thread with this exact same image in the OP. How many times are you going to spam this shit?
>>20422301Staryed ginding my own wheat.
>>20423265That’s $5 per pound. I live in an affluent area with a high cost of living and good ground beef is only $5.50 per pound. Where do you live?
>>20426692>there is no generic version fo Mt.DewMello yello
