Correct

Good thing I got 2 in my family.

Around here $1.10-$1.25 a square ft.

Anything for a boat is ridiculously high.

Most fur prices are at historic lows if that helps. Can't hardly get much cheaper.

An ounce of gland lure was 2.50 and you could catch a bunch of 45.00 fox on it.

Break Out Another Thousand. B.O.A.T.

And they all say that prices will come down, the biggest line of BS one could ever here and shrinkflation is here to stay the only way is stop buying into it have given up buying alot of stuff because of it, candy ,chips ya cant really by a real pound of bacon and they slice thin to look like more in the package.Less for more isnt going to change.

If you're talking cheap back in day.
I always wondered how small cafe's and even bigger places. Could do the $1.99 or there about priced Breakfast Specials and make living?
Was usually Coffee, 2 eggs, Toast or Hash Browns, Bacon or sausage.
Always seemed to me wasn't much profit in that for what I was getting.

I saw a candy bar on the counter at a truckstop yesterday. Two fifty. When I was a kid they were bigger and cost a dime.

Wife bought a pork belly the other day for 3 something a pound. A quarters worth of salt and smoke from some pecan tree trimmings, I have bacon for less than 4 bucks a pound.

Any cut of beef... Was in costco the other day and flap meat was 11.99, seriously? that stuff used to get tossed in the scrap bucket for chop meat....

Didn't they use to almost give pork belly away? I don't really know never bought any. I do know that pork hocks used to be pretty cheap. Now they are often more per pound than pork butts.

I went yesterday to the school PTO had fundraiser got chicken Q diner. It's interesting how those have changed. Don't seem to long ago you got and box that lid barely closed for $5. Yesterdays 1/2 bird diner was $14. I know it's a fundraiser they gotta make their money. I'm not complaining about it or wouldn't go.
Difference is the bird didn't even fill the big side of the carry out box. Spoon full of baked beans, spoon full of potato salad, golf ball size diner roll. Same size carry out box they have always been. Thing is it really is enough food for most people but definitely down sized.

Restaurants buy their supplies from a wholesaler , I know of an Amish store that buys from such a place.
In the colder weather , they pass out a flier that the community can take advantage of things like butter, bacon, cheeses dry goods like beans, crackers, flour canning supplies.
They make up a very large order and get a discount .
Used to get butter at $ 1,85 a pound, bacon was around $ 2.50 a pound , but you had to buy 30 pounds.
Check out bulk supplies for prices, but you need a wholesale/retail license to buy from a wholesaler.
I buy a lot of things at their store, only problem is things that need refrigeration is limited.
You need to pick it up the day of delivery .

Labor will come down. Costs will come down. It is unsustainable at current rates. Be patient!!!!!!

Costs rarely goes down to the consumer unless theres enough competition vying for business... We can hope, but I wouldn't hold my breath waiting....

Just put a 200 percent tariff on Chinese imports. That will drive down prices.

Smokes,,,, 75 cent, in vending machines as a kid,,,,14$+ in WA

4.99 bud 12 pack. 12.99 -14.99 in WA

My IPhone is cheap. Cost was high, but more computing power than the college campus had when I was a student.
Can call around the world, look up information, & visit trapperman.
Cost per use for me is pennies…

The gas stations around here get 2 for $5. If you buy one , it is about $3.29 or more.

This has only made me buy online by the box at about $1-$1.25 each.
