This has been a running gag for as long as I remember. The "deals" are mostly marked up in fall ahead of the "sale" where they're cut back to where they were previously.
With inflation really out of control for everything, it's hard to think about buying anything. Can't buy a car, forget that, they still have huge "market adjustments" even used cars are priced out of believability. I saw a common base level car, 35k miles, 8 years old, price was the same as it originally sold for. Forget about higher end cars. They're all 80-100k+ I wanted an SUV, still do, but why would I pay 80k for something with an MSRP of 50k that was 40k in 2019? It doesn't have to be a luxury car, I just wanted something like a 4Runner and hoping the 2024 models were finally a new design but apparently they'll all be hybrids and have a pisser engine. I don't want that, never did. Sad. So I guess I'll own nothing and be happy. (Well I already have a sedan and an old truck). Who has money for this anyway?
You want bacon? It's like 3-5x what it cost 3 years ago. Beef? It's even worse. I used to get a nice porterhouse steak for $7-9 I am not joking it's $60-90 now. The fuck is this? Japan? This is from an upper end quality butcher but this is robbery.
Guess I'll have processed nuggies, I'm not kidding, that's for lunch today.
Everything across the board is just insanely priced. So I had to cut all unnecessary expenditures. Other people are apparently just racking up debt to hold on to their QOL, it's the American way.
