(It's not my intention to start a political discussion. Whose fault it is will always be a never-ending circular discussion and won't solve anything anyway. I'm only going to point out my experiences of late.)
I live in the DFW area, one of the areas (for some reason) hit hardest by inflation. I've been noticing the tab at the grocery store creeping up more and more. We are currently iced-in with our annual winter storm and I hit the store for some stuff to tide us over. I didn't even have the cart filled to the brim and it was about $250 (and this was at Walmart, not one of the hipster stores with organic everything). I've got a good job but a big family and am really starting to feel the stretch. I can only imagine what those are going through who have to get by on less. A pound of bacon actually cost me less than a carton of eggs. Absolute insanity! The scary thing is that it could actually get much, much worse.
