How is inflation in your country

Food prices have gone up quite a bit. I used to pay $2/$2.50 max for celery bundles, now they are typically $3.50 with sometimes a sale of $3.00.

Cereal has been hard to find, our local Real Canadian Superstore had been devoid of Kellog's Corn Flakes for over 6 months. Although Kellog's did have a strike at some of the facility so I know that didn't help.

I imagine all sorts of things will increase.
 
Everything is up in my area. Gas running 3.90. Couple of years I could get a small bacon cheeseburger, small fries and drink for around $11. Nearly 14 now. Milk is up 25%+. I'm up in Virginia this weekend and it's nearly $5 in many places.

Small burger here 1 paddy some sauce and onions use to be $2.50 pre covid now it is $5.29 also chicken has tripled in price and most foods 150% more.
 
Inflation seems to be getting worse price of gasoline and diesel keep climbing to $3L mark in 2019 a foot long ham sub use to be $6.25 it is now $9.25 it seems to go up every month.
I had to increase my service rates still cheaper than competition most have gone out of business here i had to downsize have gone from a 2400 sq ft retail to a single small room dropped retail as online stores took a majority of the the business.

What is worse is Trudeau is not doing anything to prevent inflation he has many tools at his disposal and not using them next election sure not going to vote for him.

I plan to retire soon at this rate pensions will not keep up with inflation they really need to do something about that.
 
Yeah gas has crossed 5 bucks/gallon for mid grade now.
My truck can run on "Flexfuel"....which is the E85 gas, mostly alcohol. Typically that's $1.25/gallon cheaper....so I'm lucky there.
Will be taking less trips on our boat this summer, our boat has 2x 350 v8's...and a pair of 100 gallon gas tanks...and at cruise she burns a bit over 25 gallons/hour. Marina gas is specially treated gas (Valve Tech) ...typically about $1.50 more than gas a regular gas stations, and as of last weekend it was about to be just under $7/gallon at the marina.
Groceries are nuts now...we eat out 2-3 days a week and still groceries are well over $300/week just for basic stuff.

And watching ~30% of my 401k go "poof" isn't fun!
