What’s your thoughts on corporate boycotts and taking all my money out of my bank?

A graph of average cost would be much easier to interpret than a graph of rate of change.

Rate of change still lower for home than eat-out, so gap is still widening...but not great that the more economical eat-at-home options are starting to show price larger increases...

Tightening margins at discretionary vs non-discretionary. Not a good indicator of consumer confidence.

I barely go out to eat anymore. It's just to socialize, not for myself. And even that is slowing way down.

Go to only local places.

I do. I try to shop local for everything these days. I am super bummed that Aldi is one the companies that removed DEI. That was my goto grocery store. I do have an alternative but it is twice the price. That said, human rights and equality are more important to me than my grocery prices.

I started gardening as well. Even a box garden if you don’t have the right soil or climate. Currently I’m in Az caring for my mom so I’m bummed I can’t garden as I did in the Midwest. But the second I’m free and before I am changing what I can. If there’s one shining light, we know better now.
