Outside of Automotive, I hadn't really noticed.
Recently I saw it when I was grocery shopping. I don't really care about grocery prices, but I finally noticed some prices were 2x-3x what they were the previous year. Not going to break my bank, but I can see low income people would be angry/worried.
yeah, it was the gas prices that I noticed most. I was paying $500 a month to park at work, but when gas prices shot up I was also spending close to $100 per week on gas...so like $900 a month just to commute to work, which just seemed crazy.
A few weeks ago my wife asked me to pick up an order from the butcher. I have no idea how much food costs because she usually does all the shopping so I was thinking like $50 or $75...I get there and the guy was like $400 plz. I mean that was for 2 households, but I was still surprised. But she said it's been like that for awhile.
Heating is expensive but always has been. I pay my mom's heating bills as well as my own. Last year it was well over $10k between both homes. This year I'm sure it will be a good deal higher.
Stinks but oh well. All of that pales in comparison to property taxes
