Prices are still increasing

While shopping at my local warehouse in Southern California today, I decided to order a family meal from a local restaurant for us to pick up upon leaving the store; to my surprise, the family meal had gone up from $35 not too long ago to $43; that's almost a 23% increase in price. I have seen increases at other restaurants as well and even at local wholesale warehouses, which typically try to keep prices low.

When you read the economic reports out there, they mention that inflation is under control and play a positive tune; as a consumer, I see the total opposite....what are you seeing?

P.S. Let's see if this post makes it; I had the name of the restaurant and warehouse included in my original post and it kept getting flagged and automatically removed.

Isn’t it odd that media this year hasn’t been covering the increased prices of groceries as much as in the previous administration?

I’m not defending or cutting Biden slack in any way because frankly I don’t even like the guy, but I vividly remember that back then, for perhaps a few months or 2 years straight, the media left and right was on cocaine covering how expensive things like groceries got under him—and ironically, I was making less money then but the groceries were far more affordable to me than what I pay now (about max $40 per run vs nearly 60 per run, same place, roughly speaking personally).

I wonder where is the frantic coverage now about the, correct me if I’m wrong, even higher prices of groceries under the new administration? Because back then it was back to back coverage like Ebola under Obama.

Like… consistency pls!

My boss gave me a raise lower than inflation

Got a 2% raise this year. Inflation here’s around 6%. My rent went up 8%, groceries 10%, electricity 12%.

So technically, I’m earning less than last year for doing the same job, just with more responsibilities because two people quit and weren’t replaced.

When I brought it up, my boss said, “It’s still a raise, you should be grateful, a lot of companies are freezing salaries.”

I didn’t say it, but if my purchasing power drops every year, that’s not a raise, it’s just a slower pay cut.
