More than four in ten Americans have been forced to cut back on everyday habits and items, including the amount of groceries they purchase, as a result of Bidenflation, a recent Suffolk University/USA TODAY survey found.

They survey asked respondents about the habits they have had to change due to the reality of rising prices in President Biden’s America. Bidenflation was much worse than experts predicted for the month of June, rising to an annual rate of 9.1 percent, according to the Department of Labor.

Perhaps what is more, the cost of basic items, such as food, rose by more than 9.1 percent. Food, for instance, rose 10.4 percent in the last year, and food at home rose 12.2 percent.

Energy costs have risen 41.6 percent in the last year, and gasoline, specifically, has risen 59.9 percent, according to the report.

You've been right about food prices going crazy. We've had to cut back on groceries here. Good food -- i.e. not processed junk -- has always been expensive, but it's outrageous now, and getting worse fast.

How much worse is it going to get?

The Dept of Labor says the price of "food at home" rose 12.2% in the last year! ??? It's risen about 80% here.

I saved $20 off of a $100 purchase at Meijers yesterday. I used to hate using coupons, but even a grumpy old cat like me gets tired of being ripped off.

About 12-14 years ago my #2 daughter used to be a super-couponer -- back before they imposed a lot of restrictions on their use.

One time at the grocery checkout, she got $88 worth of groceries for nothing, plus $12 in cash "back" from the register. $100 to the good!

People behind her in line used to hate her.

The machines malfunctioned yesterday, of course. A very sweet employee came to my aid and explained the machines always malfunction. There was a cute young lady in line behind me, I apologised for wasting 1/2 hour of her life, but it turned out she had coupons too.
