If you've recently spent time on planet Earth, chances are that you’re no stranger to the soaring prices of, well, just about anything. These spikes are topping our expectations and pushing the already soaring U.S. inflation to extreme levels. According to the Labor Department, the May consumer price index (CPI), which measures cost changes in food, gas, housing, and many other goods and services, rose 8.6 percent over the last 12 months. That’s the highest it’s been since 1981. And we, the general folk, are definitely feeling the pressure.

While inflation is biting hard, our paychecks don’t go as far as they used to. It begins to feel almost impossible to afford to be a person these days, and people are having a hard time making ends meet. Looking for a way to vent, they wasted no time sharing their discoveries with everyone online.

We at Bored Panda have scoured the web and picked out some of the most painfully alarming examples of how inflation has been going wild. Continue scrolling, upvote the pictures that deeply resonated with your inner frustrations, and be sure to weigh in on the topic in the comments! If you’re in the mood for some similar price-gouging madness, check out our recent piece about shrinkflation right over here.

    Inflation has been driving the prices of grocery staples, home goods, beauty products, gas, services, and pretty much everywhere people spend their money. So naturally, it is making more and more Americans change their shopping habits. And the people affected by this most? Low-income families that are feeling the income and wealth inequality deepen to alarming levels.

    According to Rachel Siegel and Andrew Van Dam, reporters at The Washington Post, price hikes are particularly devastating to households with already tight budgets. The main reason for this is that the majority of their expenses go to necessary everyday items such as food, energy, and housing — things that have seen some of the largest increases over the past year.

    "Of the 10 categories with the highest levels of pandemic inflation analyzed by The Washington Post, lower earners spent a greater share of their total spending on most of them, from natural gas to beef," they wrote, adding that the highest earners outspent the lowest on cars and furniture.

    Wealthier Americans won’t feel as affected by inflation because of their spending habits: "They spend more of their budget on retirement accounts, mortgages and investments, and less on the necessities, such as energy or groceries, that are squeezing budgets around the country." Moreover, they have stronger protections shielding them against increasing prices. They already own homes, have substantial retirement savings, and their investments will probably outpace inflation in the long run.

    You know things are bad when people have to steal food because they can't afford it. How on God's green earth do people think it's normal or ok to deny humans actual food all because they don't have or earn enough money? Everyone has to eat to stay alive and continue to fuel themselves so they can continue to work as hard as they do. There's plenty of food for all of us, yet somehow we've been convinced that folks should go hungry if they don't or can't back it up with money. Placing a condition on eating is extremely inhumane and wrong. Why can't people understand that? It's not like people are out here trying to take advantage of food and get over. They just want to have a full belly and eat FFS! We already kill ourselves working and barely get to enjoy our existence. Just imagine also having to come to the realization that you will be denied the very thing you need to keep going. All because money is desired more over you being able to eat and feed your family. Just let that sink in and know that no one should be put in that situation to begin with. Not when we have so much food that gets wasted as it is. They'd rather deny you actual food and throw it away than see it go to someone for free. That's how you know our entire m system is intentionally choosing to hurt us while constantly convincing everyone that this is normal or it has to be like this. No it does not and no it should not ever be something any of us have to struggle with. If you think differently than I'm afraid you are one of those people that has been made to think it's just another day at the office and all of this atrocious treatment going on is normal. I can firmly tell you, you are wrong.

    So, unfortunately, lower-income workers usually feel only the negative side of inflation. "Their rent goes up. Their heating oil prices go up. Their grocery bills go up. And there’s no room for higher prices in their already stretched budgets. Plus, with stimulus benefits and child-tax credit payments long gone, many have exhausted their financial cushions."

    Xavier Jaravel, a London School of Economics professor stated that for low-income Americans, a small change in disposable income is very difficult to cope with. "Every bit of additional inflation just reduces purchasing power," he added. "If you have a large income, which often goes with the fact that you’re saving a lot, then losing some of your purchasing power is not a big cost."

    Fear of losing our hard-earned savings makes us want to stockpile goods and let emotions overtake our decisions. And as it turns out, doing so can only make matters worse. As Michael Finke, a professor of wealth management at The American College of Financial Services, told NBC News, "People tend to have a rational response to gains but an emotional response to loss."

    He explained that loss is processed in the limbic, otherwise known as the emotional part of our brain, and gains register in the prefrontal cortex, where cognitive behavior is processed.

    "When inflation is bad and people expect it to continue or get worse, they generally tend to not save money and try to buy durable goods before the price rises," George Loewenstein, professor of economics and psychology at Carnegie Mellon University, added. He continued by explaining that people are rushing to get products that are not frequently replaced, "to the extent that doing that increases demand relative to supply — that can exacerbate inflation" and can become "a self-reinforcing cycle."

    While we patiently wait for inflation to level off, there are a few things to consider to make our lives a tad easier. Jay Zigmont, a certified financial planner, explained that "you may have been able to just make it before without a budget, but with inflation, a budget becomes a must." And while the first month will be rough, and you may get things wrong at first, he suggested to keep on trying.

    According to him, it takes three to six months to make budgeting part of your life, and he advised budgeting based on "musts, shoulds, coulds, and won’ts." Musts include things we can’t live without — housing, utilities, insurance, and transportation. After you take care of your musts, you can move on to shoulds, things like debt, investing and saving. "If you are in debt," Zigmont added, "you may not have money left over for your coulds."

    Of course, think about asking for a raise. "In today’s job market, employers are eager to retain employees, and keeping them happy is the best way to do that," Bert Bean, the CEO of national staffing company Insight Global, explained. And remember, with inflation reaching record heights, not getting a raise is nearly equivalent to receiving a pay cut. So if your employer is not willing to offer a pay bump, consider making a career switch or picking up a side hustle whenever you have the time.

That's for a litre. One US gallon = 3.78 litres. That's about $7.48 AUD a gallon or $US 5.18. YES, i'm a very bored panda today and bamboo tastes good.

    Doesn’t this violates Consumer Affairs’ “single price requirement”? Since the price you see is not the price you pay?

    For those saying it's not inflation. Since 1987 inflation has rose ~157%. That means things cost 2.5 times more than in 1987. Inflation is always a thing. It's just usually never more than 2-3% a year. All because capitalism requires growth in order to make it work.

    That's not inflation in this case, it's the demand for lumber that skyrocketed

    Seriously, if you visit McDonalds for whatever reason, do yourself a favor and DL their app. At least here, they often have BOGO deals and mine always has a 20% off purchase of $2 or more. Also careful of the add on 2 bacon prices along with the larger OJ prices.

    These posts are making me realise why America especially has such a weight problem - no wonder people can't eat healthy meals with the prices being this insane. Fruit and veg are still fairly cheap in Scotland by comparison, I keep saying I'm going to go to the greengrocers rather than the supermarket but I've yet to actually do it, but that would be even cheaper still.

    I believe the contents and the can size are the same, just the label is fancy claiming 25ml extra. 275+25 is 300ml as usual. Just fancy marketing if the price is the same.

    Pretty much looks like a trolley full so I don't really know what the point is here, with nothing to compare it to. There might be six fillet steaks in the bottom of that trolley for all I know.
