Inflation? Us old people aren't getting s.s. increases because, they claim,
there isn't any inflation. However, I see
my food of choice has gone up for 33 cents to 47 cents to 118 all in one
year. If this isn't inflation, it must be the weak dollar that is making
this price increases

You're looking at one blade of grass. They're averaging the entire yard.

Time to think out of the tub there Gerry. You can buy regular yogurt
and put it in your freezer. ALDI has 8oz. packs for 35¢. Or you can
blend up your own stuff. Get yourself a blender or better yet a
stirring tool like my Braun that has 400 watts. Trow in bananas,
pineapple, apples or apple sauce. Add some water to achieve volume and
consistency. You could even throw in some yogurt.. You've been in a
rut all this time and Kroger has helped you out. You don't need them.
OH, you'd rather pay top price and let someone else do the minimal
labor? You're on your own.

What food is that ?

Unlikely that you are eating imported food exclusively, at that price.
And if its imported from china, it wont be the weak dollar
either because their currency is locked to the US dollar.

How come congress gave their aid a raise? if there is no inflation?
BTW, Congress gets 4 times the salary as us avg. PEONS gets, How come? They
always claim cost of living and give themself a raise.

Your problem.

Because they decide how much they get, stupid.
> They always claim cost of living and give themself a raise.
You were always free to make better provision for your time past working than social security.

servings for 2.50 a bag, much cheaper . Since the woodstove is going anyway,
no energy cost to cook the dry beans.

Yeah, thats what I was thinking, you dont usually see permanent
hikes that dramatic in basic foods that cant be fixed by alternatives.

True.
