Without wishing to render this question null and void, the biggest problem I've had with inflation is the lack of money to buy things. Shocking I know.

Gas prices. TOO DAMN HIGH despite them getting lowered.

I recently filled up my 05 Ford with a 19.5 gallon tank with regular at $3.42 a gallon where I live. Now keep in mind that I'm filling up my car with a half tank to cut costs but I still end up paying exactly $33.00 USD for a half tank of gas. Also the car gets 19 city/20 overall/24 highway in fuel economy but right now getting somewhere from 13.5-18.8 mpg rn cuz it’s cold where I live and engine is running for longer.

Food in general. I used to spend something like 150 euros to have my shopping car full and having 50 euros extra for bread, fruits and vegetables. Now I go to supermarket, shopping car is not full but when I get to the counter I even think that the lady made a mistake. My brain simply refuses to accept how prices went so high. Germany, Köln.

My rent has almost doubled since COVID started, heating price has gone up and so did groceries. Long story short, I can either eat or not freeze.

Three things.

The first is one that I think most people will say, groceries cost more than usual. A normal trip of groceries normally cost me around $90 to $100, and now it easily costs about $150 for the same things.

The second is really dumb, reloading my laundry card has a service fee. If I was to reload my card with $25 (for example), there is now a 50 cent service fee. I know it sounds minimal, but I didn't have to pay that beforehand.

The last one, the bus pass is going up in price. Last year, the bus pass was $120 (which is highway robbery, for how bad the service is). Now, it's $125, still going up, and the service is still progressively getting worse.

The need to decide/choose which part of neccessities isn't as important as the others.
e.g.
I need my groceries (pets, partner & I)
I need my phone & notebook (for work)
I need the Ticketsubscription to use the tram (work, groceries, doc, etc)
I'd like to use my stuff at home without the threat of debt due unpaid bills

If I cancel the tram-ticket I'd have around 65€ - but I'd have to invest way more time to walk or drive (bike) everywhere = In the evening I'd be more tired and most likely would neglect important parts of my life.

Cutting down the money for groceries (We're budgeting already) would result in almost the same situation, since the shopping would be clipped into several parts for different stuff. Dairies cost less at shop A, but veggies are less expensive at shop B, while we buy fruits at shop C.

If I cancel the phone/notebook contract I'd have around 50€ more (company is paying their share) but I wouldn't be able to keep up with work at home, so I'd need to drive into the office...

No matter how you look at it, the result is always stress, lack of time and still no money.

Of course there is the gas prices, and food prices, and not to mention TP, napkins, paper towels, but dog food is getting stupid as well. I may go hungry but my little man will never go hungry again.

Reading is my one big hobby. Books seem so expensive, too. So I read mostly library books and used books. I am sorry for book stores. But that helps.

The cost of food! I am a disabled veteran whose income while sufficient in normal times is now suddenly just barely making it through each month. I hate to think about those who are not as comfortable. Meat is getting to be to expensive to have every meal. I am eating more beans. I need gluten free food which is fast getting out of my budget. $8 for a 1lb loaf of bread is a lot!

The fact that food and fuel prices are not used when calculating inflation rates (in the US - don't know about other countries) is astounding. The rate would be much much higher, and closer to reality, for us than what it is claimed to be right now.

I rarely eat out anymore. Paying $10 for a small sandwich is ridiculous. A dinner out is close to $100 for two. I am not paying that.

The grouchy old folks that came into the restaurant I worked at and complained and complained about inflation. This would be tolerable except for the fact that the complaining was targeted at young people for some reason??

Since everyone's making cutbacks, it means a lot more people are buying store brand. I get that. The problem is I always bought store brand to be able to stay in budget. Now, the grocery store is often out of the cheap stuff because everyone's buying it, which forces me to buy the more expensive name brands. My family's grocery budget has almost doubled because of it.

This may seems small in comparison to the myriad jackery that's come out of it, including the lack of empathy in the wealthy feds, but for me, it's the price of baking ingredients. I've always struggled to get by, but i'm an excellent baker and could always throw together something lovely for a birthday. Now i can't even contribute a mere madelaine. It's disheartening.

For me the worst thing is having to give up my dream of retiring. It was going to be tight pre-pandemic but is now impossible. There is no budgeting I can do to make it work. Maybe someday I'll win the lottery lol. We hear a lot of the impact on younger people but not so much on the over 65 seniors.
