I have a Costco Membership. If you actually take the time to calculate and compare prices, many items are MORE expensive than you can buy at your discount grocery store. They just hide the cost in bulk packaging.

I am having an aorta valve replacement done Thursday.
This hospital's cardiologists have used cow valves for years.
I still intend to have a burger or a steak now & then.

Are you lucky enough to have it done via catheter?

The average inflation rate in the US is down from a high of about 8 percent last year to a little over 3 percent now.
Gasoline and food are sometimes factored out as they are the most volatile.

Yes, am very grateful for that instead of having my chest cracked open.
Good luck in Thursday sir.
I was in the biz for awhile as a meat broker. My biggest shipper was Gwaltney ( now a part of Smithfield Foods across the street) and the inventors of the Smithithfield and Williamsburg hams- Not Smithfield Foods.
Anyway, there is no shortage of hogs. You can check on the daily hog kills Using USDA and National Provisioner reports. The difference is that Smithfield ( one of the largest packers in the country) and several other packers have been sold to China. THEY control the pricing.

I had a aortic valve replacement and pacemaker installed in February.
They could not find a polish pig so instead gave me a synthetic valve.
I'm left handed so my pacemaker was installed in my right side so I could still shoot.

Medical pigs are genetically modified to remove some special kind of sugar (??) they naturally produce in their bodies. This is done to reduce the rate of rejection of the parts by the person's immune system. No, I'm not smart, and I'm not a doctor or biologist. That was just the explanation I read in the article about the pig heart transplant yesterday.
Of course they reduce gas and food. Inflation would be astronomical if they included those. They have to maintain the shine on Bedenomics.The average inflation rate in the US is down from a high of about 8 percent last year to a little over 3 percent now.

I usually shop for groceries at a Super Walmart, mainly because they're closet to me. Walmart bakes their own bread and it's not bad. I get either the Italian style as it make a decent sadwich or their French bread. It's the perfect size for their frozen hamburger. Either style used to be a dollar and was that so far back I don't remember when I first started using it. Well over 15 or so years and it was even less back then. Sometime early last year it jumped to $1.47 for either one.
Yesterday, I hit the store foe some of the hamburg, bread, cheese and two packs cold cuts and that was $52.
I stopped for gas for the Explorer and it had jumped from $3.99 three day ago to $4.25 yasterday. I swear it's been changing literally on a daily basis, maybe hourly. A put gas in my pick up about a week ago coming back from the store with the expolrer. Saw gas was down to $3.90 and need to fill up the truck. Parked the Explorer, put the groceries away, took the truck get the gas and it had gone up almost 50 cents a gallon in just the 20 it took to put stuff away and get the truck. When does all this bovine excrement stop? BTW, the truck was literally on fumes and it has a 37 gallon tank

I remember when $20 would buy you a weeks worth of GOOD groceries and THAT was in California.
Somebody has been reading and listening to the propaganda spewers about inflation.

EVERYTHING involved in the production of food uses FUEL. Growing animal feed products is expensive. Feeding livestock is expensive in both feed and transportation costs. Turning animals into packaged meat takes lot of fuel(fossil and electricity). Moving and storing processed meat is expensive.
When Evil Joe shut down the Dakota pipeline, he ensured food costs would rise. NO QUESTION ABOUT IT. If anyone will admit to voting for Evil Joe--SHAME ON YOU. To all those who ducked and ran for cover on Jan 6--same comment.

That's because you have the younger, more evil (and less inept) doppelganger of Biden as your governor, no doubt.
