Prices are higher already at walmart. Went today and boy, did I notice the hikes.

[Kajun Gal]

[Ohiogal]

1. But ... but ...

They tell us the "Trump Economy" is doing great! Everyone is working and has money to spend!

[procon]

2. Prices at Amazon are also higher.

Som items I had save in my cart to buy had significant price increases over last week. A plastic bowl was almost 30% higher today.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

12. And taxes now...more consumption taxes.

Thanks don ivan.

[gratuitous]

3. Higher prices are necessary for Trump's program to bring prices down to work

What's the matter with you people? Aren't you patriotic? Don't you want Donald Trump to win this trade war that's so easy to win? Some small, temporary sacrifices will have to be made, but it's for everyone's good. Of course, if "temporary" turns out to be "the foreseeable future" and if by "everyone" we really mean vulture capitalists, then there might need to be a teensy weensy recalibration. Yes, some of you will suffer, but it's a price Donald Trump is willing to pay. And you can bet that's one price that will not go up.

[Blue_true]

11. How is that coal burning luxury vehicle of yours running.

Trump says that it should run smoother than silk.

[Wellstone ruled]

4. Oh yes,mentioned the price increases

at Wal Mart and especially any Krogers/Smiths and Fred Meyers. Most were put in place in the middle of last month. Normally,in the Grocery Business,these price increases happen in the October-November time frame each year.

BTW,just left the Mid West,holy cow,talk about price increases. And that is Trump Land and the Natives are pissed.

If you live in Utah,you just got hit with a 25 cent to one dollar increase in your Gas Price in the last ten days.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

5. Most items have gone up.

Milk raised 25%. Now 1.25gal. Vegetables are ridiculous and I refuse to buy them. Quart of mushrooms went from .99 to 1.49. bananas are up 20 cents a pound. Most everything has gone up at least a dime often 20 cents. PER ITEM. Stuff like shampoo and toothpaste slight increases. Lightbulbs...20.00 for two? Id rather have the old ones and pay 5.00 a month more on my bill...and frankly, i dont even think I saved that much. I rarely use a 100 watt bulb at all. these prices have gone up since almost the day he got elected. Walmart is moving everything around in most of its stores to confuse you w hopes you wont recognize the food price hikes. Laundry soap and softner, about the same. Comet cleanser went up 28 cents since 2016...thats a lot when a can used to be 80 cents.

[demtenjeep]

6. veelveta cheese went from 3.99 to 7.98

I used to make this awesome cheese dip meal every Sunday during football season.

This season, I guess I will save it for the Superbowl.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

8. Wow!

That's quite a jump!

[Blue_true]

13. I purchase a pack of razor blades today, up $3 since last month.

Unfortunately they work beautifully for me, so I won't buy something else.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

20. WTF is with the razor blades? Something tells me it's defense related commodity(?) diversion

on the titanium or whatever. It's ridiculous. I get the shick hydro 5 blades and man they last a long time...a single bladed disposable would hack me apart.

[Blue_true]

22. I use Schick also, the 3 blade, gentle one. My skin is soft.

The blade angles for me are perfect, one or two sweeps across an area is all that is needed. There is minimal irritation after the shave, which I like. I tolerate the price and would continue to buy even at $3-4 per cartridge, the blades are just good. I have looked at the Hydro blades but decided to stay with the 3's. How do the Hydros compare to the 3's, if you have used both?

I don't know why the price went up, but I noticed and that is something that I normally don't notice.

You are right about the blades being sharp an durable. I am sort of an impatient shaver, I do almost everything in the bath fast except bathing (low shower water time, but long bath). When I shave I am like a wild man, but I tell you, if I get the angle of the blades to my skin wrong, the cutting is instant and as far as the cartridge design allows and boy, there is blood.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

23. The 5 blades

seem to last longer and are easier on the skin. I buy the 20.00+ dollar jumbo packs so I don't have to keep going back to the well on the razors.

[Blue_true]

25. I tried 4 blade before, they were not good for me.

I will give the 5 blade a test run and see what happens. $20 plus is what I would expect for 5 blade, I just paid over $17 for an 8 pack of 3 blade yesterday.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

28. I wonder if this is one reason why all the beards of late?

good luck w your shaving. Regards, CC

[Recursion]

27. Steel and aluminum

Those are now two favored industries, and set their prices as such

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

30. Aren't those tariffed now?

[Recursion]

32. Yeah, and domestic suppliers are quoting absurdly high prices now

At least, I know it's hitting aviation pretty hard after years of materials not really even factoring into the overall price of a plane.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

39. Well. if your'e buying a plane 'brother, then a 20.00 deviation at the grocery store wouldn't pop up

on your radar hardly at all i'm guessing. Good on you. keep 'traveling'.

[MineralMan]

24. Grow a beard and save.

I shaved for the last time sometime in 1969. I can't remember the date. No razor has touched my face since then. I've saved tons of money and time in the almost 50 years I've worn a full beard.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

31. My girlfriend reports she prefers a smooth face. I'm going w that

for the time being. Heh heh.

[MineralMan]

33. Well, when I met my wife, she said,

"I've never really liked guys with beards."

We've been married, now, for almost 28 years. I guess she grew to like it OK...

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

37. Heh heh.

I'm sure you are good man and have made up for it. Or, she may be tired of saying it. Who knows. Regards, CC.

[Blue_true]

34. I tried that, a beard drives me crazy.

They work for some guys, not for me for some reason, maybe it is just psychological, or maybe it is genetic. I had nine brothers earlier in my life, not a single one grew a beard. My currently oldest brother is the only one in the family that grows a beard because his skin is really soft and shaving tears up his face, he scratches his face a lot though. His skin looks real smooth when he has a barber shave him.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

38. I'm w you completely.

In my opinion a man looks squared away w a clean shave. To each his own though.

[kozar]

43. I am,

Thankful I have a Harry's subscription after reading this.

Koz

[Blue_true]

44. The price may go up. Suppliers may be getting hammered.

The cost will be passed on if that is the case. I dealt with the blade price increase once and noticed. Don't know what the future hold, but I won't grow a beard.

[kozar]

45. Im hoping not,,

but I can cancel anytime and will if necc.

[dixiegrrrrl]

18. They also raised prices on most prescriptions,.

One of mine went from 12.00 to 40.00...no kidding.
Their cheap generic drug list has dropped 2/3 of the drugs that were on it. Again, no kidding. I track drug prices like a hawk around here because we don't have drug insurance. It has always been cheaper to buy out of pocket than pay a increasing monthly premium and co-pays.
I get a strong feeling Wal-mart and other stores are getting the message from Trump they can price gouge and no one will get after them.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

19. Ask the employees how much of a bonus they got...up to 1000.00. Most will laugh

or have forgotten about it. Once the president lies, it's license for everyone else bc it's normalized.

[roamer65]

7. Good. Let inflation become a roaring inferno.

Hopefully we get to 20-30 percent.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

10. Good?

Couldn't disagree more. Why should hard working consumers pay these ridiculous prices when wages are already 20 years behind?

[KWR65]

14. This is what you get when people vote stupid or don't vote at all.

[roamer65]

15. Bingo.

You da winna.

Americans need to feel the pain. The pain just may lead many to an epiphany. Epiphanies produce REAL change.

[cagefreesoylentgreen]

21. Let's hope change goes the way we want it

Venezuelans have been feeling pain for a while now, and inflation is set to top one million percent there this year. The only change is that things have gotten even worse and the exodus has turned into a torrent.

[Crutchez_CuiBono]

36. I didn't vote stupid though and you forget that there was a lot of cheating involved

so.....
The lectures about voting are tiresome. ESPECIALLY when it can't be proven either way that what you say is true, and just as easily can be the result of voter disenfranchisement or voting tallies that have been changed. So if that's the case why should people who did the right thing, be punished, then lectured to about their voting habits? Just wondering how that fits?

[WePurrsevere]

42. Although I understand the sentiment and...

I would love it if it were ONLY the idiots who voted for Trump that are the ones who will pay the price but unfortunately the reality is that a LOT of innocent people are going to be hurt if inflation goes to much more up. There were plenty of small business owners, working poor, disabled, veterans and seniors who voted for Hillary and are angry with Trump and the Republican twits in office who are already struggling with incomes that haven't kept up with the reality of inflation, including the sneaky 'inflation by deflation' that's been going on for years.

If your income and COL can take the bit more power to you but a huge amount of us are drowning already and another hit could cost us everything.

[Achilleaze]

9. Thanks, republicans

republicans are relentlessly trashing America's economy

[Puzzledtraveller]

16. I havent noticed

cost of living where I am at is very reasonable.

[dawg]

17. Trumpflation.

Prices go up, paychecks stay low.

[workinclasszero]

40. "Trumpflation"

Gonna steal that, thanks!

[Recursion]

26. I'm worried people have forgotten what actual inflation is like

And unfortunately we're going to see reminders over the next several months.

[CountAllVotes]

29. Dinner out the other night

2 people, no drinks, no dessert. $60

Sticking to the Grocery Outlet now.

[workinclasszero]

35. Try McDonald's

The prices are ridiculous to what you actually get for them! 😒🍔🍟

[CrispyQ]

41. I noticed at the grocery store,

that when something that is over $2.50 dollars goes up, it doesn't go up by 15-25¢, it goes up by 50¢. And then six weeks later it goes up again & now you are paying a dollar more than you were two months ago.
