India is out of control. They are reporting 4000+ deaths per day but based on crematoriums that number is likely 4-6 times that.

“It’s a hustle”

Decent drink incoming for this area tonight.
-
35.5F low here. A few Windows were open a bit so the house was a bit chilly this morning.
-
RIP Tawny Kitaen.
-
The one near me makes decent sushi. I get it for a weekend lunch sometimes if the guy is making it fresh. Good dragon rolls. Had some RI sopressa a couple of weeks ago on a charcuterie board. I forget the name of who made it.

Iceland trip gaining steam.
-
I like how they had it done in Ether. And the 10% thing seems interesting
-
I haven’t been in one in 20 years or so. They had great salsa I remember. I do a majority of my grocery shopping at Price Chopper in Gardner. They added a beer and wine aisle a couple of years ago and their food selection went way down. There used to be a Stop and Shop nearby that I liked but it closed when they merged with Hannaford. Lots of people in my town drive out to Athol for Market Basket. Super cheap but very busy and chaotic
-
They used to sell a blend of wine called Two Buck Chuck for $2. Not sure about now
-
Steak has been pretty expensive for a while though. I def have noticed that. Steak tips $9/lb seems typical.
-
Yeah. I only buy paper goods and cleaning stuff at Walmart now (which I despise). But their bulk stuff is better for us plus it is very close to me and easier than the supermarket
-
Maybe not as much I guess. We do eat a bunch of chicken and that has stayed steady for us. Some ground beef. Just made good burgers from 85% for $4 per lb. maybe I follow sales too much? Bacon has def gone up a bunch.
-
There is one in the city in which I work but I haven’t been there. Some people love it. I finally went into a Wegman’s for the first time a few weeks back. Cheaper than I thought. Good beer selection too
-
It is still used in a lot of things. But yeah. It is down as a beverage
-
Milk prices haven’t moved much in over a year. Yogurt same. Egg prices fluctuate wildly every year.
-
Also regarding the soda water anything in aluminum cans went up last year due to those prices going up
-
Yup. Lack of truckers especially those with hazmat endorsements. That could cause gas hikes.
-
I disagree. I’m the one who does the food shopping in my house (for 20+ years) and I don’t see the prices up overall that much. Some items yes. Paper good and cleaning supplies have been gouged
-
Anyone travel to Iceland recently (pre pandemic or during). Thinking of going this summer
-
“In 2021, food-at-home prices are expected to increase between 1.0 and 2.0 percent, and food-away-from-home prices are now expected to increase between 2.5 and 3.5 percent. Despite these predicted increases, inflation for most food categories is expected to be at or below their 20-year historical averages—exceptions include nonalcoholic beverages, other foods, and fresh fruit.”
-
My weekly grocery bill says otherwise. Some items yes but I’m still buying chicken breast for $1.88 per pound.
-
Although right now inflation seems to be rather tepid for the year as a whole. I’m sure it will increase
-
Undoubtedly. Food prices have been ticking up over the past year or so. Now things like steel (and lumber obviously) are going to the moon. Rough go ahead for many

Meh. The Dow doesn’t seem to care
