Inflation is real due to many factors but a lot of it is just greedy companies jacking up prices because they can. It always amazes me when financial reports come out stating a certain company’s profits are up during this period. Banks are the worst culprits. They increase interest rates faster and higher than the central bank and raise credit card rates to loan shark levels then report highest profits ever. Grocery stores are right up there too. Last week Stouffer’s TV dinners at a certain grocery chain were $4.49, this week $6.69 while the Walmart in the next town is selling them for $4.29
Don’t keep it in money. Keep your value in people & stuff. People hold value best. If it’s not in circulation it’s not money, keep it moving. If it doesn’t circulate to the bottom it gets scuzzy, stir it up.

At the first sign of this recent inflation, I increased my stock of food from enough for a year to two years. Prices aren’t going down any time soon.

That looks like prices at the supermarket.
