Worse case of inflation on a single item

Other then fuel what is the highest inflation that you have seen? For me it was yesterday on Whey Protein mix. 2 years ago it was $14+ and now it is $22+.

18 eggs. $1.75 or so to $5.75

The inflation on me shoulders, back & knee
This nrw job tis a killen me.
Just tooo damn old with lots of millage.

the inflation is good on the pay check.

Best wish's.

I am glad you brought up "2 years" as a base.
When you hear that inflation is at 8.5%, that is only this year. That is only looking at the last 9 months of this administrations 21 months.
2021 was 7%, then this year to date is 8.5%. That is a 16.1% increase with these yoyos, and the year isn't over yet.
And I think it is higher that that.

Mercury Quicksilver 2 cycle oil was around 21.99 a gallon, now 36 and some change.

Pvc pipe and conduit more than doubled.

My electric bill

17-4 stainless steel. One example is the 1” round bar was 19.30/ft in 2019, we just paid 66.20/ft for some last week and it took over a month to get it.

Gasoline went from a nationwide average of $1.99 in September of 2020 to $3.82 in September of 2022. That's an increases of 92% on something everyone uses nearly.

Stainless steel is winning right now.

Pool chlorine, it is up 3.5x since the pandemic. I used to go in and spend $100+, now I spend $400+.

Fertilizer. Its thru the roof.

Consumer grade fertilizer major price increase came before 2020. In the 2017-2019 era it tripled. Did it triple again?

Damn that worse then fertilizer and deer corn

A nice steak.

My Wife showed me a three bar pkg of soap yesterday, said the last time she bought this it was a little less then $2., yesterday it was just shy of $7.00.

This one has hit me the hardest this year. From $2 a pound to over $6 now.

I think many are gouging us as long as they can get away with it.
It sucks

Plywood and dimensional lumber. Prices up 2-3x. Locally timber prices are 30% less than 20 years ago.

Yep. The pool place keeps saying the new and bigger plant in LA comes on line in 2023 and prices will go down. I ain’t holding my breath.

This is no joke.. Liquid N is obscene right now-

canned corn, from .50 to 2.19
gasoline, from 2.00 to 4.00
electricity, doubled. 100% increase.

Canned corn is $0.58 per can at Walmart right now but I realize some will not shop there. How much canned corn do you eat versus electricity or fuel usage?

Anhydrous ammonia is scarce and very expensive.

My electric bills this year have been the same as last year. Folks 10 miles away not on my co-op are paying triple. That has to be a poorly managed company issue.

Pvc more than doubled
Chlorine- almost triple
Electric bill
Soon to be natural gas bill also.

Tires, though I haven't bought any in 5-6 years, looking now the prices are just crazy. $500+ for one tire is nuts.

What is the shelf life of granular? I bought a bunch years ago when on a lease and still have 100lbs of 10-10-10?

Just be glad we don't have European electric prices......thousands % up. Businesses are shutting down every day because they can't pay for the electricity. They crapped on Putin and payback is Hell.

Our government has changed the components of the CPI numerous times to make the news number whatever they want it to be. Some financial writers are saying that if we had the same components as many years ago the CPI would be more like 15-20%

I noticed that too. And the price rose quickly.

I just now paid $3.50 at Walyworld. Still too damn much!

Buccee's ice. .99 to 1.99

The is for pointing that out. Most people only focus on what they hear in the news. They don’t account for the previous year or total inflation from day one of this administration.

Buddy told me about that. No Buccee's close enough to me for ice so I have not noticed. I excluded fuel from discussion but should have excluded all commodities. Commodity prices will fluctuate quite a bit in normal times. I remember when I handled the lumber contract for a major manufactured housing company lumber would jump every spring or on some negative news.

Steel went up 300%, it’s started to creep down some though

3/16” plate in 2020 - $189

Mid-2021 - $568

Now - $400

Idiot FJB said we have 0% inflation.
How many idiots believe that.

We fed Alpo lamb and rice canned food to our dogs for years at $.68 per can, now Alpo is nonexistent on shelves in this area and we have been forced to get Purina One at $1.86 per can.

Costal hay square bales. Two years ago I could get it delivered and stacked for $8 bale. Now with fertilizer, diesel and drought I'm paying $12 and have been told to expect $15 if things don't change.

Batteries have tripled.

We used to buy the 60 pack of eggs for $4.88 at Wallyworld before SloppyJoe and they went up to $16.88. Tractor parts like my shredder blades went from $90 to $150 and they are cheaply made with the cutting edge stamped into them instead of a grind making them thinner and weak.

4" Schedule 40 Electrical PVC

$1.58/ft @ election
$8.32/ft now (426% increase)
Was as high as $9.30/ft............but dont fret, Sleepy Joe has got it going down

This contractor doing this job bought all their pvc when awarded the project which was close to 2 years ago now, I'll ask the super how many feet they bought I bet he knows,

Little under ground below a building.


Below the MEB. All of the primary and secondary is 6”.



The pvc yard today. Little over a year in.

Turkeys are 23% higher this year over last. 6 million birds were destroyed this year.

100 gallon water troughs have doubled in price.
