Is it just me, or did the New Year bring another round of rising prices and shrinking packages?

What have you seen? What's something you no longer buy since the price has gone up so much?

Chips - How are they $6 a bag? That's insane.

Omg right

Well the price of beer has gotten out of control. I thought I was imagining it until I saw that report this week pointing out that beer companies have priced their products beyond the cost of inflation because their sales were down last month. I have never been a heavy drinker but now the cost of keeping a six pack on hand isn’t worth it!

It's not just you. I'm positive the packages have shrunk. Even at Costcos.

I haven't noticed costco shrinkages yet - honestly I feel like some of the sizes have increased which is even worse! For 2 people, 2 massive bags of salad is too much

Ugh, you are so right about this. We stopped buying name brand cereal. I know it's a small thing, but every little bit helps at this point.

It's hard to keep track at this point. I feel like the prices of things go up every 3 months and it's always for things that I need so I do not have a choice but to buy them. I used to buy a gallon of water for 99 cents now the same gallon is $1.69 and that change seemed to happen overnight

I spent $80 on 4 drug store makeup items yesterday so.. yes

What should I do in a scenario where I was hired (12+ years) with far less salary than(~20% less) than other members (4+ experience) in team and asked to take 80% of team's responsibilities. The hiring manager low balled me sensing that I am in dire need of that job and now I am stuck for 2 years now. The company is a big shot but I am literally getting paid less than what I used to make 10 years ago. Should I try to move within or look outside?

Does having student loans impact your ability to get a mortgage?

LCSW 50k loan repayment- Has anyone been granted a contract through the National Health Service Corps Loan Repayment Program? I’m interested in applying for the 2 years of full time work as an LCSW but my loans are a bit under 50k so I’m wondering if they would only give me what I need to clear my loans or would I still get 50k as long as I complete my contract ?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
