30 Of The Best Reactions From The Internet On Bloomberg’s ‘Surviving Inflation’ Tips

This needs to be higher.

Prices are being jacked way beyond inflation. If inflation was 6%, then why is everyone marking the prices up 25-50%? My supermarket raises their prices every damned week and is getting out of control. A loaf of bread has DOUBLED in price. Same with a quart of half and half, they doubled the price. That OJ that I bought last month for $2.49? That's now $5.79. They're just gouging at this point. Electric company has recently jumped on the gouge ship, too.

Any business that makes a profit during inflation is literally artificially inflating their prices. It's like how gas prices are controlled.

Absolutely. What will the market accept? If everyone stopped buying fuel for example, they'd reduce the price. They know we can't. The execs are sat there thinking, wow, didn't think people would still pay $180 to get into Disneyland. Should we go for $200?

This should be illegal. There should be limits. They need to show justification for raising prices like mad. Stock holders should not come FIRST

Do you mean, as "Arrowsmith" suggested (Or ingested, perhaps), we should "eat the rich"?

The New Soylent Green, you can eat less because it's very RICH. Haaaaaa

Anyone seen or read "Fried Green Tomatoes"? We could be eating BBQ tomorrow!

Lentils are high in protein though, so I kinda wish they came up with something that'd fit better in that sense. Though I guess there aren't many things that meat has that lentils don't. 🤔 Eat the rich for B12?

There is precedence.

Yes, their advice doesn't apply to them, so all peachy for them...

Who would EVER pay for that s**t?

Best idea!!

Pluto tv shows Bloomberg TV for free. Bypass the subscription.

This also should be higher.

i dont get it...

Eat the raccoons.

This is a trap! beware! It's illegal to steal the ducks. The fines are outrageous.

You should not eat the DUCKS

But raccoons eat worms and mealy worms among other things. They’re equal opportunity eaters and don’t really care what they consume.

Canada geese are much larger than ducks, make a lot more mess, and stay year-round in some cities. Mind you, they're probably harder to catch.

Well said👍

Is that different than suffering under the endless cruelty of a socialist system that undermines democracy by corrupting politics and crushing the working people ... ??

Fun for stockholders.

Sounds about right

Capitalism is bad. Said the communist.

Agreed

If this makes us socialist, then good for us!

If we are the great (?) country that we claim to be, we should be able to feed, house, educate and transport our citizens...right?

It is interesting that this is the way good families with minor children operate...but it does not transfer to society in general.

EAT THE RICH

right, buying in bulk is way cheaper. Especially for things like soaps and stuff. 1 large bottle of dish soap saves me a full year of dish soap and reduce plastics. I'm trying to be more green and save green, even well prior to the inflation BS.

if you are friends with a restaurant owner/manager, talk to them about bulk items. i used to get #10 cans of fruit and vegetables for WAY cheaper. break it down into Tupperware or ziplocks and freeze. also dry goods such as TP, paper towels, pasta, etc.

It depends on what you are buying and when. I stopped buying in bulk when I tried to pay out my debt (managed most of it, except college loan, of course). If you are budgeting per month and want to pay off debt, don't buy bulk but rather use those extra $ to pay your credit cards. The fees on cards eat more of your earnings than buying bulk can save you.

Bulk buying is amazing.. also great deals on stuff... i look out for deals that save me money.. i do not care what others think

Buying in bulk doesn't make sense for a small family. A lot of things will go bad before we use them up.

And they say chimps are vegetarian.... Maybe they thought the tyrant was made of lentils ;)
