Other (Please tell us in the comments, your opinion matters)182
My Mortgage/Rent is too high and rising. May lose my residence148
Health Insurance is through the roof. I cannot afford it99
Picking up Dinner at Fast Food is now a Luxury that I cannot afford92
Fast food is pretty disgusting in the first place and it’s priced well above its natural price point and the service is getting slower and slower. It really shouldn’t be called fast food anymore.
I agree and I own a restaurant. We do fresh chicken and beef, most other places have gone to frozen pre-packaged items. And that’s probably why I hear “Best food around” nonstop. I will disagree on pricing though, my cost have gone through the roof.
That is so true, I have never seen this Evil so badin the United States, that is why we need to get out and vote for the very best President of our time donald j trump.
I go into Kroger and buy their canning lids here and there. $1.99 for years. When gas prices hit to $4 a gallon from $2 a gallon, Kroger added $2 to those same dusty lids that have been sitting on the shelf. I talk to the manager, she said she would sell them to me at $1.99 as she knows they’ve been sitting there for years ,but she said “they get sent price increase sheets from HQTRS they must follow.” Everyone are just robots. They know those lids were not shipped during gas increase to upcharge people $2. They shouldn’t increase prices on items not effected by gas increase.
The service is terrible at fast food and our orders are usually wrong. People get $15 an hour and give poor customer service. Some how we need the return of customer service.

I myself lost 4 jobs since Covid America sucks and I’m NOT WASTING MY TIME VOTING BECAUSE ITS STILL FRAUDULENT!!
You have to vote. An absent vote is a vote for biden. We have to flood the polls & make the vote to big to rig.
If i can survive this nonsense, you can too. Americans are not quitters & we do not run from the battle.
You can go hide in your basement & wait for the nazis to come for you & your family, or you can man up & act like an American. The choice is yours. I’ll be at the polls fighting for my country.
Where once we would go out to eat and it was cheaper to eat out we can’t do it any more. $30 and up for a single meal is way out of our reach. Groceries are still cheaper even though the bill at the end is 3 times more than it was. If you all have noticed the package of meat is smaller wandering if you are getting the pound of beef it says is in the package.
For me, I picked other because it is a combination of several options.
I cook all our meals at home with the exception of Friday night (date Night with my wife) and we are giving that a second thought now..
Utilities, gas prices and groceries are taking most of my meager income, I am a disabled Vet. Car payments and other obligations are being paid a couple days late(r) and this has been one of the hardest times I can remember, trying to budget.
And i picked other because i am sick & tired of the bas-turds giving our SS & Medicare to the illegals! George Bushit jr signed a bill for the illegals to collect you SS after 18mo’s and we/you have to work 10yrs to be elligibal

I have lost my home because rent went up to $2,400 a month and I got evicted, my car got repo, I’m living with relatives, and barely eat everyday. I have never been this low. Almost on the streets. I had to walk in heat to go the store. I am barely hanging on. Jobs don’t pay enough to make 3 times amount to rent, and now my credit is ruined. I just keep my faith in God. Biden and the establishment have ruined my life.
Praying for you. Our elderly are really hurting too. Check on our local elderly. Never ever give up like Trump says. This too shall pass. Incredible tiny homes in TN has tiny homes he is selling for $20,000 plus lot rent around $200. Just a suggestion. Many single and seniors buying.

My employer is refusing to increase our contract pay rate claiming inflation is causing the town I work for to be “broke”. How am I suppose to afford anything while it all costs more but I receive no more money!?!

The monthly cost of my groceries has increased exponentially during these past 3 years. I would like to vary the kinds of meats we consume at home, but unfortunately, cannot afford to purchase “red” meat too often. In an ideal world, I would love to purchase meat directly from a farmer who feeds his cattle grass, not corn/wheat products, and feeds his livestock worms, not “bread” products. Most of the nutrition we need is no longer available in the animal and plant items we purchase at our local supermarkets. The poor nutritional quality of the meat & vegetables we consume forces us to purchase supplements (natural only/not synthetic vitamins), which also adds to our monthly expenses. The cost of delivering food to the various supermarkets has had a tremendous impact on their cost to the buyer and thus to the consumer. Gasoline prices continue to rise, forcing the trucking industry to increase the cost of delivering their goods. Energy prices directly affect the prices of everything we purchase. As President Trump frequently states…..”Drill Baby Drill”……. while he was President, we were energy self-sufficient, as well as having a surplus of oil/gasoline. This condition must return in order to lower the costs of everything we buy.
Hi Elie, I found that if you can’t make both ends meat make one a veg.

Monthly expenses take the cake for our household. Groceries are about $200 a week and we don’t eat things like steak or seafood. Also, rising water and electricity rates do not help. Luckily, my husband gets a work van and company gas card for his job.

All of the above are really the problem, but I can’t leave the store without spending at least $150 on only 2 or 3 bags of groceries. Yes, I try to buy “clean” foods like organic and grass fed, but that is becoming more and more difficult.
What i am no wondering is how many of the folks commenting actually voted for Pedo O-Biden, I have an idea why don’t we/you call the Kenyon and see if he has any of those 65k worth of hot-dogs! Oh no forget that was lil boy’s he/they were molesting!!!

That is our point with one of the choices…that Corporations are using inflation as an excuse to price gouge

We already did that in 2020

Weigh it at the produce section.
