Feeding the giraffes at the Omaha Zoo was $2 per branch last summer and it’s $5 a branch this summer.

Dollar Tree is now $1.25.

A lot of roller items at QT were $1.59 or 2/$3.00. Now they’re $2.00 or 2/$3.50.  I think that change has hit within the last couple weeks.

Yeah, I was using dollar menus 20 years ago. Had no idea they were still around during the Trump presidency.

Also, when I was in college, the Manhattan McDonalds didn't have $1 McDubs like every other McDonalds did, and I was pretty salty about that.

Hats and t shirts are really expensive. They used to be like 15-20 bucks and now a decent hat to tee is $35 minimum. I know things get more expensive over time, but that hat prices is too damn high!!!!  On a separate note, its really hard to find a hat that fits well all of the sudden. I used to be able to find one pretty easy, not it takes me forever to find one that fits right. Is this a weird getting old problem?

Mrs SSOC was under the weather over the weekend and sent me to the store for "just a few quick things" to fill in the gaps until the normal weekly grocery run. It set me back $215.

Beef on bun, side of chili, and strawberry soda was $25 at Gates. That seemed high? I suck at knowing what things cost. I mean it's one banana, how much could it cost?

Was going to hit Terry Black's in Austin until I saw they wanted $57 per lb of beef ribs (estimated 1 beef rib to be 1.5 lbs)

Gotta get the inflation buster nooner over lunch. Still like $8 for a beef on bun with fries.
