ReplyDeleteA Jack in the Box (in central Texas) that I frequent on a weekly basis has gone from $4.48 to $5.10 on Bacon Double Cheeseburgers. I asked the cashier about the price increase and she said all the menu items had been raised a week ago. Interestingly, she said some of the prices had increased by as much as a dollar.
I also know my grocery bill has increased over the past year, but I haven't looked at by how much.
in orange ca starbuck's medium brew coffee went to 1.95 from 1.85 yesterday
ReplyDeletePlease you guys, none of these items are in the Core CPI calculation. So, it doesn't matter, there is no inflation. If coffee prices are up, substitute with hot water. In fact, deflation is the threat. All of you, Wenzel included, need to take your basic economics lessons again from the great Paul Krapman...oops, that's Krugman.
