    Seems like the price of almost everything has increased in the last year or so. Groceries, gas, construction materials, housing, etc., have all gone up in price. I am also making more money than I ever have as a plumber. Overtime has been endless for the 12 months. The bad part is the boat has not left the garage in those 12 months.

    I've been doing buffalo thighs myself. Been getting them on sale for .99 per pound. I really like my friends buffalo hot sauce. He won't tell me what all he puts in it says I won't come in for wings if he does.

    Becks Prime was my favorite burger until last Sunday. It used to be around $10 for burger and fries. I did not look at the price just the $2.50 change from a twenty.
    Finding $5 on the floor took a little of the sting.

    Then it’s obvious everyone working must have got a raise across the board cause everything has gone up!

    I don't think everyone got a raise. Just new hires are advertised at 15 bucks. My son and his friends are pissed that they are making less than the new hires. I told them to protest in the streets, stop traffic and to even loot stores if they feel it's necessary to have your voice heard.

    It has been awhile but I would never have paid more than $10 or $12. They have always been the most expensive, made with Angus beef chuck roast.
    That will be my last unless I am with a hot hook-up.

    They should just quit and apply somewhere else that will pay them more.

    That was my first response, but talking to kids is like arguing with pro-vaxxers. Common sense won't work.

    You really aren’t paying attention. You will see more food inflation as the year progresses. Do you think the hot weather and drought across much if the country has no impact on food production? 500,000 acres of vegetables in California alone not planted this year. Processing tomato production down, 3rd consecutive poor potato crop, lousy wheat yields, etc.

    Taco Bell $5 boxes are the bomb! In more ways then one. Comes with a Pepsi and Kaboom...any constipation is a thing of the past.

    Cheap lunch and keeps the plumbing flowing...can't beat that!
