I really don't know how those, on fixed incomes, are getting killed. Milk is still at two bucks, or under, a gallon. Eggs are cheap. Boneless pork loin can be had for a buck 'n a half a pound. Just locked in my nasty gas ... not too much different than the past several years. Electric is the same. Gasoline is still FAR cheaper than I had to live through for close to five years. Picked up around forty pounds of blueberries, today, to freeze ... at fifty cents per dry pint ... a lot less than I've paid in a decade.
I'm trying to figure out how anyone, on a fixed income, is getting killed.
