The above was posted on May 6th, 2021Houses went up overnight it seems like. Lots of folks moving from the north to our area. They are snapping up expensive homes as well
as the once-affordable-homes to flip. Almost every house I looked at on Zillow in our area was "pending" sale.
Gas went from low $2 to $2.85 as of today. Food has been creeping up for the last year and a half.
Those are the main things I've noticed.
Gas hit over 6 bucks a gallon in my neck of the woods. Sigh. I’m
Is that for regular or do you have to do premium?
Thats a walmart price! I am in the south where prices run lower than up north where you're at. My family loves "breakfast"@tyty333, $1.23 for a dozen eggs?! Is this at Aldi? Aldi is cheapest for eggs here in CT at $1.39.

for dinner...I feel like I'm getting off really cheap on those nights (well, except for the bacon)!
Most eggs here are at around $5 a dozen and up. The state requires that they are either cage free or free range now. I haven't looked at Aldi or Walmart so they could be less there, but once the requirement that they be cage free or free range went in, we saw increases and that was before Covid.
Premium gas it around $4.50 a gallon depending on the neighborhood.
Housing prices are down. The last two years, many sold for well over asking price, but that doesn't seem to be happening now and I do see some price drops.
Rents are ridiculous. My daughter pays $2000 a month for a one bedroom in a town 30 miles outside of the city. In the city she would probably pay at least $3000.
My Homeowner's insurance has remained the same for several years and auto has gone up a bit since last year. I think about $100.
Even with the exchange rate your eggs are still cheaper than ours
but has anyone brought cat food this week ?
its through the roof
and i assume dog food is the same
no wonder the SPCA is overflowing
i just ordered the groceries for a fornightMy cat food order comes in the next week. We order a variety of foods (picky eaters including the two who demand variety). These are the prices for a single case of each in August of each year. Both had been noticeably lower prior to 2020, but I don't have those numbers. Just checked and prices for each as of today are the same or a bit lower than August was.
