The greatest economy in history. - specops56 - 03-24-2026
I use Amazon subscribe and save for my cats’ litter. The current bag that’s on it’s way increased in price $7.18 from the last one a month ago. That’s just over a 4% jump in 1 month. 2.4% Inflation rate my ass!

The store brand coffee I usually buy is on sale, $7.99 as opposed to 9.99 a can.
Unfortunately, it went from 30 ounces to 24 ounces, so it's really the same price.

I have 2k rds of 300 blackout on order
It has not gone up in price yet even though they are saying a price increase is coming
I order unpasteurized raw honey from Canada every 6 months & just today ordered some
Price has not changed
Only thing I’ve noticed for price increase is gasoline
We had 5guys burgers last night for supper & it was the first time in over a year & it was cheaper than McDonald’s for 2

You obviously haven't been to the grocery store lately.

Amazon adjusts their prices up because they are losing their asses on shipping some items. Anything heavy costs a lot to ship and they are taking money back on those items. I used to order grape gatorade concentrate. I could get a 4 gallon case for $30 to my door from Amazon or ebay. Then they figured out they were losing buckets of money on "free shipping" and the price went up to $80 with "free shipping" overnight. The case weighed 35 pounds and they were shipping it Fedex. When I looked it up shipping was almost $50. So, it isn't really the price of kitty litter is going up, the cost of shipping it is. There was a little lag between ebay and Amazon pricing going up maybe a week or 2. But they all did the same thing eventually. Check the price at Walmart or Dollar General.

I Grocery shop at Costco, Sam’s and the Commissary, the wife also goes to Walmart. I hate Walmart
Yesterday I purchased the same items I did a year ago at Sam’s Club to include 8 pounds of thick cut bacon and a flat of eggs and they came out to the car & loaded it for us…..
I paid $4.37 less than I did in March of 2025
You know we travel lots, yes gasoline is up, hotels I’ve been looking at this past week are not any more expensive than last year & in some very expensive tourist destinations the prices are still not as bad as they have been
Ive had to cancel Alaska plans and Hawaii plans this summer, will see if we can make a road trip or not. All depends on what my surgeon says about Rupert
