Remember that Kevin also had a coupon for the orange juice.
Hey yall wild nitpicking the receipt y'all the point she was trying to make was made and should be taken 😅😅😂😂😂
Yeah what was that coupon for? 50.00 dollars off the OJ? Come on now, use logic.
The most startling fact about this, is not even the inflation, but the fact earnings have only trickled upwards since then. It's a highly misconstrued number, but with research you will find the real data:
Median household income (one working adult) in 1990: 50,200.
Median household income (one working adult) in 2023: 59,428
They love to tell us wages are great in 2023. But what they don't tell you is that in a lot of those comparisons, they are taking the salary of *both* working adults, and comparing it to one working adult from yesteryear.
Think about all the record profits corporate America has made. A 9k salary hike in 30+ years for the average worker?

Old man reminiscing here. In the early 1980's, my brother and I would get out of school, walk to a mom and pop convince store, and collect 5 bottles each along the road on the way. For that $0.50, we could get a soda and a candy bar.
crazy how we still get the same amount for the cans tho haha
@esthertremblay7200 very true.
My mother started sending me to the local mom&pops store with a grocery list at 6, it usually also included cigarettes and lottery tickets with the groceries
Cans for recycling have no intrinsic economic value. The only reason anyone pays for them is a process and price that was arbitrarily set up by the government. It gets updated when the government gets around to updating it, ignoring inflation and other economic changes in the meantime.
This price can affect economic activity, as the OP illustrated, but it is not itself affected by the economy.
They you'd have sword fights with the candy bars and do actual damage to each other because they were so big.

Yes, what home mortgage used be is the property tax rate in the Houston Heights, 10 to 14k a year is normal property taxes for an old house nowadays

They're both pretty bad. Homes cost more, but so does rent. My niece knows she won't be able to buy a house anytime soon due to the high costs. But, her and her bf also need roommates just to afford a 3 bedroom apartment due to the cost of utilities and food.
I moved to Sweden a couple of years ago, and remember being pleasantly surprised by how much cheaper food and groceries are here (I also love that restaurants don’t have tipping here, since they pay their employees a living wage)😮. Anyway, I went back to visit family in Massachusetts for the past two weeks (for the holidays) and was stunned by how much the prices have gone up for everything! Like, literally standing blankly in the shopping aisle STUNNED! Even USPS, whose smallest Priority Shipping box was $4.95 (for years), now suddenly costs $10.95!?! How do you people even live?
Movin to Sweden was the smartest move you’ve made, mate. Stay happy, and prosperous my friend…
It’s near impossible!!! We’re all working multiple jobs and still needing assistance from the government. It’s crazy!
Endless war, staying home waiting for government checks, and everything being delivered to our doors. Somebody pays for the subsidies.

Inflation has outrun wage growth by a factor of ten. Ignorant comparison.
Statistically that's not true. Wages have increased, but when inflation is factored in, Americans have lost a huge amount of buying power.
The cold snap in the Midwest drove up prices here. Trucks couldn’t get through to make deliveries- I normally spend around $120 on groceries for myself, and this last trip I spent about $190.

I have 0 clue where Fox pulled a 62.7% increase from that would be catastrophic. In reality the consumer price index according to U.S. Bureau Of Labor Statistics increased 6.4% from January 2022 to January 2023 or 3.1% from November 2022 to November 2023. So more accurately if the groceries costed $44.4 in 2022 they’d cost somewhere between $45.77 - $47.24 a year later in 2023. Almost like Fox News isn’t a accurate source of info…..
I remember watching that in theaters thinking “wow that place is expensive!” My grandma would overfill 2 shopping carts and it was never more than $125
Funny thing is, when I watched that scene I thought the same thing at the time. $20.00 was a lot back then and to spend it all at once was crazy, lol oh how times have changed.
The delivered pizza cost $11.
It is New York after all. Where in the city rent is never under $3k for a decent place these days. You can pay as low as $900 for a broom closet in a crowded building with a public shower. And that’s just a guess from checking out apartments there seven years ago so maybe the prices are way up from that and someone can feel free to correct me if I’m wrong, and will retract my statement if so.
Minimum wage actually was like 5 dollars in 1999. Early 90s it was 4.25average,(NYC) I checked on google. So to make that 125 dollars you would have had to work 29hours.
Say the same grocery is tripled in price now and it’s 375 dollars to get the same things in NYC(average 15 dollars minimum now) you will work 25hours for it.
This is just an example different states will have a different result.
1990 average minimum wage 3.80
2023 average minimum wage 7.25
So check it in your states and see how much you have to work for the same groceries.
I went to the store today bought 4 cheese cake pies, some soda, dog bones buy one get one half off, and two beef sticks and a gallon of milk.
85 bucks.

Yes and they won't admit actual inflation rates, they use formulas designed to mislead. The inflation rate normally quoted doesn't include food, housing or energy costs (which might include gas or transportation). I remember how mad I was when I heard that the first time. The inflation and costs of the 3 most basic necessities ! 😡😡 I miss the 80s! 😭😭 When I was a young adult everyone said your housing cost should not exceed 1/4 of your income! Now expect them to say over half is fine but for many people average rent prices are more than they earn.
I watched a documentary called "last days on earth" from 2000s about disaster preparedness and the gas station had a sign for something like $4.89 gasoline. I laughed. I remember gasoline used to be $1.29 per gal
They show similarly high gas prices in " I am legend " that is supposed to be around this time frame also.

From 1990 to 2022 it went up about 2.25 times the price, almost twice the amount of money in about 30 years. From 2022 to 2023 it went up about 1.6 times, almost a 50% increment in a single year. To me that's the most shocking part, how quickly prices went up in the last year rather than the 33 years as a whole
I noticed this, too. And then the news is always trying to say inflation is max 8% lmao. Maybe 8% PER MONTH for a year.
And here in lies the problem. Yes everyone knows inflation is always going in one direction, but please FOX, make the inflation in one year at least believable. Make the case without thinking we're all idiots

It was way harder to get that twenty bucks in 1990 than it is right now. Look up the minimum wage in 1990 and compare it to now. That’s why groceries are so expensive. McDonald’s workers want $20 bucks an hour starting wage and federal minimum wage of $15 an hour thinking that will make life easier. That will just bring the prices up even more than they are now
Quick Google search will tell you the minimum wage was $3.80 in 1990. How many hours do you have to work for that $19 and some change? 5.26 hours to make that $20 bill he broke at the minimum wage. You can work half of that in Alaska at 10.34 an hour these days. But only come out of the store with around two or three things.
@FreedomMaster-Steve You've got some good points to consider, so I'll grant you that. However, should there even be a mandated minimum wage at all? The very idea of the government forcing businesses to pay minimum wage? Also, consider what automation has done to displace employees due, in part, to the minimum wage mandate.

Yes! Back in the 90’s, I could do a month’s shopping for less than $100. Nowadays, I can’t even get a week’s shopping done for that amount!!
If you want nineties grocery prices you’re gonna have to have nineties wages as well. Take us back to the $3.80 federal minimum wage. Someone on minimum wage had to work 5.26 hours for that $20 bill he broke in the store. Compare that to now where the federal minimum wage is almost doubled. $7.25 since 1990, but states have their own minimum wages. In Alaska it’s $10.34 so you’d have to work 1.93 hours for that same $20, and walk out of the store with only maybe three or four items. Raising wages means raising prices. You can make the minimum wage $50 an hour but that means the prices of everything will be tripled what they are now.

My first apartment was $500, it was a 2 bedroom I split $250 was my portion, this was back in 2010. Last I checked those apartments go for around $2,000 now. I made $12 an hour back then, now I make $28. So my pay a little more than doubled but the apartment quadrupled. Moral of the story, buy property.
I'm more concerned about both bags breaking at the same exact time
- So what? Minimum wage in 1990 was around $5 /hr. So in 2023 minimum wage is around $16/hr SO IT'S THE SAME THING.
- Prices went up 3x and minimum wage went up 3x.
- WHATS THE BIG DEAL?
South Africa as well. For the past year, when you do your monthly shopping, items increase monthly. Inflation is totally out of hand.
Tell me about it! Only for things not to last a whole month anyway because we have to beat unexpected power outages before it spoils the food. 😢
A lot of prices in the UK have doubled in the past 2 year it's getting ridiculous
It’s a global problem; not local.
What about salaries?
@@user-yk1jg5nr5r ye that's my point inflation now is rising faster then pay is. The government is a joke
Guys, stop trying to copy us in Argentina 🙃
It happened with Biden after 3 years, the English-speaking countries went to hell. & no, u can't blame Putin for an increasing speed of inflation before Ukraine war, & after the invasion Joe Biden still could have shielded the West by drilling for oil during crisis. Donald Trump would not have hesitated, the Leftist demonlords do. Quite clear what's needed.
Replacing the hammer icons with sickles when you got to Russian experiments would’ve been the icing on the cake for this one
In the 90s for $1 you could get a 30 cents bag of chips 50 cents can of soda and a couple of ten cents gum 😅 was my go to after elementary school

Kevin would of been great in children of the corn
These last couple years it has skyrocketed to the point were I'm going "hey this chicken was 3 dollars cheaper last week!"
That should make every American exceptionally angry.
The fnaf fans as soon as they heard the price fainted- 💀
You should look at what that would cost in Canada, even more insane pricing
Over 100 surely. Bloody insane!!
It’s worse in canada, it’s worse than the usa, wish i could move back to the states
It’s also that the value of money has just generally decreased over time
Well yeah that’s how inflation works. I’d say the issue is inflation going up and real wage staying the same.
@@LilmizKThe problem is
Wage goes up
Greedy Companies jack up their prices
No matter how much wages get increased. Companies will jack up their prices. While I do believe we will exit this inflation crisis eventually as of right now we’re letting companies have free roam. Which is a horrible thing.
@@DaRealDemobirdalso not to mention that workers at fast food places who aren’t given a reasonable wage are most likely benefiting from food stamps, which comes from tax payers. We are giving the money to the food workers because corporations are too greedy.
even accounting for inflation it shouldn't cost this much. we're paying more and getting less.
@@voicelessglottalfricative6567 That’s why i said also, and not that’s the only reason
Literally the convo I had with wifey when we watched it recently 😂😂
me and my mom watched it a couple weeks ago and we were just shocked at the part he went into the store because even the ads all around the place were like 3-4 x less than we’d pay today
That jug of tide alone would be 19 dollars today.
It’s almost like inflation rate isn’t 3.14 percent like the government says. 😊
It’s easy to cook the books when you leave out the food and energy sectors from the calculations.
The CPI is 3.1-6.4% from 2022-2023 Fox is just incredibly misleading
@@melrupinski88and leaving out price gouging by the companies
@@That.Lady.withtheYarn So, those evil corporations waited until after Trump left office before they started price gouging? Just another reason to dump incompetent Biden and bring Trump back, right?
Witch forgets minimum wage was 2.74 lol that year 😂😂
*bro i wish i could back the 90s 😭😭*
Cant wait to sell my house to afford a fuckin toothbrush
Yet you have a devise you’re commenting from
Lmao
Honestly what scares me the most isn’t the dramatic increase in prices for everything in the last year, but the fact that people will vote for the same government officials that did this to us
Apparently inflation and crappy food rots people’s brains..
It is businesses, not the government. We can't have workplace democracy
@@vixen878it’s businesses raising prices because the dollar is worth much less 😂
I mean, when you got a 2 parties system who are over rated of course they can shut say to each other in secret "Hey, want some bucks and we can split the sieges in the Congress ?"
@@jayp7845 they tend to fire workers and decrease the quality and size of products, which hurts their profits as people would start using other products and services. It's a pattern and soon enough, chocolate bars will cost an arm and a leg for the consumer.
Maybe we need a system that isn't so unstable and unpredictable
Everytime I see the numbers 1, 9, 8, 3 together, my first thought is always a child being crunched by an animatronic. I think im going insane.

Not only in the States, this is exactly the same in Hong Kong, most likely the rest of the world.
Yes sir, imagine a cent can buy few if not many things and still have a change...... Amazing years really
1990 - 2000...what a years🏆
Yes it’s global because it is the Great Reset. The World Economic Forum told people for years what they were planning. And now people are surprised.
At this point I don't even need a full sized fridge anymore, a beer cooler will do the job now.
My mom used to go grocery shopping and really stock the fridge. She used to do this like two or three times a month…. Now, two bags costed her 120$. Rent is going up too, my aunt found an apartment with ONE bedroom that was over 2000$ dollars.
"We need a great reset. You will live in a pod, you will eat the bugs, you'll own nothing, you'll have nothing, and you'll be happy." -Klaus Schwab
Yeah. People just aren’t paying attention. The Great Reset is literally why all of this is happening. Destroying the old systems to bring in the new. And trust you me, the new system is not going to be one any of us want to live in. But getting people to listen and and understand where this is coming from us like pulling teeth.
Find yourself a small town far away from the big cities. Everyone has guns & everyone grows their own foods.

Thanks Obama!
Wait, sorry old habit.
Thanks O'Biden!
nailed it
We had a MacDonald's in our town back in the late 1960s that was right next to our family dentist office. Our Mom would walk all six of us kids over to treat us to lunch after a group dental visit. She fed all of us and herself with burgers , fries and a drink and got change back from a single dollar bill. Life gave us few reasons to complain in those days not so long ago. Now it gives us few reasons to be glad. Human greed is so rampant that it has its hands around our every dream.
When you say “human greed” do you mean things like only thinking about how good your life was? Poverty rates have been decreasing in the US (meaning they were higher back in the 60s) and human rights have made huge strides since then as well. When you say life was better, you quite literally are only thinking of yourself. That’s greed right there.
@@1KingFisher Leave it to a fool like you to take a comment about inflation and turn it into a soap box about strides in human rights. Having come from a family of immigrant Irish coal miners, I can almost guarantee my family's situation was every bit as difficult as yours. You need to quit coveting poverty and sufferage as your culture's solitary heritage. It belonged to many ethnic groups. The only difference is that we learned to stop complaining about it once we'd moved beyond it while you find every reason to beat a dead horse.
Inflation be hitting hard.

I tried building this exact shopping list, and just alone toilet paper is $14.99 😂😂😂
(Here in Canada)
it's not just happening in the US its happening everywhere
What’s sad Amala is I remember shopping in the 90’s and groceries for the household for a week were $20-$40 depending how luxurious the week was gonna be but I frequently ate all week on $20 and wasn’t a bean pole. I’m only 42 and $20 isn’t enough for 1 day’s groceries for my household now
Yes, indeed you were able to get an entire grocery cart full of food for 100 bucks. I believe since the 90s, we’ve had mostly Democrat presidents as well
Every time that scene comes on my mom says, "That's when I was born" when the lady says $19.83
We have lots of sycamore trees in NJ. I like to step on their crunchy bark.
I’m not sure what you were referring to, but you made me laugh!
Yep. In 1995, my Husband and I spent $70 a fortnightly. Now 2023 we are spending $500 and that's without kids!!!!!
I'm single and spend like $150. a week on groceries. And the price of produce,which I NEED is insane......
500 without kids? Dude. I spend $50 max per week on groceries. I’m single.
if you spend 250 per person youre probably built like the grocery store
I have 6 kids and we.spend a.little under 140 a week. You all are.doing it wrong....
we only spend $200 every 2 weeks on groceries for 4 people. i bet youre just buying snacks and junk that you dont need.
Not only on the US. I moved to the uk 5 years ago. I went from bragimg about having a decent wage and way of life to cutting out everything I don't need to be able to afford living in a rural suburb of London. It's the same in my country. It's everywhere. Nothing's affordable anymore.
Edit : also, said wage didn't change tho. Maths is not mathing.
