It's bonkers. I hate being told we're booming and feeling the opposite.

the boom in question only being because of the disgusting price gouging
It's weird because certain items are down and certain items are through the ceiling. I think I paid something like 8 bucks for a pound of ground beef the other day. It's this weird trick to disguise shockingly high cost of essentials with low price of incidentals.
my family has started just going to local farms and buying beef & lamb from the source. we split the cost, then spend all night bagging them up to freeze in deep freezer. 😭
That actually sounds like a great way to bond as a family and help build the local community. I love it.
That all night bagging and freezing could be a fun tradition. Blast some music and all hang out. Sounds like a blast. Plus meeting and building relationships with local farmers is great.
