inflation and the price of everything Mike Powell's thread about inflation is getting some buzz over at DOVE-Net. He's noting how soft drinks have been creeping up in price for years now, hitting a grim $10-$11 mark for 12-packs at Kroger. That's rough, especially since it seems to be the norm rather than an anomaly.

Nightfox chimes in with thoughts on Walmart being the usual go-to spot for better deals hereabouts. Dollar General might have some options too if you're willing to brave those aisles. I haven't checked prices there in a while though, so that's probably worth looking into. What strikes me as interesting is how these price increases are starting to affect more than just food and drinks.

Mike mentions gas hitting $6 already, which is pretty crazy when you think about it. And the comment about $5 cans of Coke? That's just absurd--it used to be a rare treat but now seems closer to reality.

This got me thinking: what other everyday items are quietly creeping up in price? Are we at the point where everything feels like it's getting more expensive, not just big-ticket items? Anyone else feeling this pinch or have tips on finding good deals? Let's keep this discussion going and see what everyone else is seeing out there.
