I have a farmer that has a produce market about a mile down the road. I usually go once a week. I went today and got half runner, cucumber, tomatoes, corn, blueberries, egg, and squash. He is even cheaper than the stores. I always give him a bit extra. Later, he will have his pork and chicken. we in our community are blessed.
Blessings❤
What is a “half-runner”?
@@dawncrossland3028 It is a green bean that is popular here in East Tennessee. Delicious!
Excellent! Bless that farmer.
You are lucky to have them.
@@thisnthattalks1153 We sure do in our community!
Please do not buy a house right now. They are so over priced. Be patient. God bless. 👍👍😃❤️🙏
I live in Largo Fl. Rent and food are crazy. Gas is going up too.
Rent is becoming unaffordable as well. They may not have a choice soon unfortunately.
Prices will eventually fall.
Here in my Michigan hometown the Family Dollar store closed in April. Now Rite Aid is closing in August. My hometown is small and family businesses are going to be next! I have to count every penny living on my social security, which doesn’t keep up with cost of living. Thankyou Danno & Jess for all the hard work you both to keep us informed! 😊❤🎉
Q
Hint:
Prepping in food category is one thing!
I said prep EVERYTHING and I really do mean
EVERYTHING
Because when all the stores DO close, and the reasons do not matter so much. YOU BECOME YOUR OWN STORE. You will have inventory for you and your loved ones. You will have extras to trade, barter, and sell. It's practical.
Learn to grab up legitimate free items.
I still save extra sugar, salt, and condiment packets from going out to eat. I used to laugh 😂 at people who did that ... until I fell on hard times and realized 😳 wow! It made a real difference. People DO leave things on the curbside as freebies. Churches ⛪️ give out food 1x a month. You can accumulate alot FOR FREE. Then use those items to trade.
I traded used clothes for tiny boxes of raisins. I traded a used DVD 📀 for some fresh milk 🥛. I traded old books for someone's used t-shirts.
It's all good. Both of us benefited.
Q❤
Our local Rite Aid here in OH is closing in September. My Mom is 86 and shops Rite Aid often. It is 5 minutes from her house. It’s sad to see so many stores closing.
My rent just went up 250$ per month
No more extra drinks, no more bars. I'm even Stopping spending on some of my usual favorite items. Bad sad times in the Usa . And my wages Didn't go up 1 cent
I don't buy anything but necessities anymore. It's really hard sometimes. I miss my extra treats too.
The cost of living is becoming unaffordable.
So true. It’s scary.
@@sethmiers7539 It's ridiculous
7:01 yep. How to depopulate without firing a b*llet….. control the food
When you remove the chemical food preservatives, there isn't enough food to feed the USA. The only reason people who shop can get organic, is because the majority don't eat it. They go for cheaper chemically treated. Without chemicals, America starves.
I think this is more like Klaus Schwab “You will own nothing and be happy.” The inflation is not going to stop. This is an agenda.
💯 🎯
And water
...
Today I went to Acme in Akron Ohio. I bought 6 cases of vegetables 50 cents a can, spaghetti sauce 3 cases 83 cents a jar, and 4 cases of pasta 60 cents a box. Some of it I put in my emergency pantry but most went to 3 different food banks. In my area. All were saying that the need is great, especially among the elderly. Doubling the amount of people to serve , it’s getting so much worse. I’ve been prepping for 4 years and have enough to share with my family and friends.
Excellent job! Pray, prep, stay peaceful ❤
I have 300 cans of food.
Very generous of you.
I prefer to give to animal shelters. They’re full right now.
I prefer giving to animal shelters. They’re full, low on donations and the animals are grateful.
Big lots has gotten ridiculous
I've always found big lots to be high on their prices
We have a piece of property with a triple wide MH. We love it. The way things have gone its worth more than we paid for it! We only paid 100,000 for it in 1998 new, I was able to stay home and we invested in a 401k. Now it’s paid off and we were able to retire. People thought we were crazy. But they are still working. We aren’t.
You were living like no one else then, so you could live like no one else now!!! Smart!!!
Getting your own house is one the most rewarding events in your life. Having property you can modify, plant a garden, plant flowers, a work bench in the basement, etc puts you in control of a large portion of your life.
That was always the American dream. Young people and young families don’t stand a chance today! Selfish elites are destroying the American dream for righteous immigrants and their own children and grandchildren! Why? I think once you have money and power you taste that and it swallows you whole. Once addicted you can never have enough money, control or power over others I guess it makes you feel more important, smarter and better than others?
So does being a Minimalist
I miss Kmart and Sears since they closed here in Pennsylvania
I miss them too.
I'm not surprised about big lots. They are usually a ghost town when I go into one. I don't think they have competitive prices for their merchandise.
No and their stores look like crap
Get mint mobile, write down cheap/healthy meals for the week and stick to it, shop around for car insurance (use an e-bike if you can), make your own laundry detergent and only use 1 tablespoon per load (no fabric softener, no scent beads). For desserts make cheap things like rice Krispies, for a cheap lunch make some deviled eggs. WE WILL GET THROUGH THIS GUYS 🍾
Yesterday I made 12 breakfast sandwiches using 12 rolls on clearance ($2.50), 16 Farmer John's sausages with no casings so I could make patties the shape of the rolls ($1.50/pkg of 8), 1 dozen eggs and 12 slices of cheese. Mix honey and Dijon mustard 1:1 and put on the rolls/croissants. Wrap in plastic and then in a freezer bag. 12 dinners for me for less than $10. Thaw in frig for 12-24 hours, 1 minute in microwave.
I cook for my freezer too. I make big batches of food and freeze individual portions. It's cheap and easy and the best 'fast food' around. It is 10-12 minutes from freezer to table. There are tons of CZcams freezer meal ideas out there.
@@user-wj1xr8nn7t Have you seen the channel Acre Homestead? She does batch cooking, canning and gardening. I get lots of ideas from her.
We are finding it very hard living on our social security and we are living with family members.
Any tips for living together with family?
@@hiddenhand6973 Bite your tongue. I live with my brother and sister in my brother's house. The first couple of years were so hard, everyone does things differently, now I just keep any advice to myself. My brother and sister both have learning disabilities (I am just naturally stupid) so it is hard to bite my tongue. I am getting better! Just remember, even people raised in the same house do things in their own way.
Better tighten your belt some more if trump wind. Project 2025, they'll cut social security by ad much as half. No bs. Google it.
I understand, I am on a very small pension. If it wasn't for the fact that I can eat alot of weeds and can forage,I'd be in dire straights
@@hiddenhand6973We are a 3 generational household. It takes a few months to adjust (lots of patience, grace, etc ) but it will "click " and then become quite enjoyable.
I really don't want to go back to the way it was because we all just have a huge happy bond.😊
The price of there house is ONE THING. It's the damn property taxes that is constantly going up.
And insurance!!!
This month my mortgage went up nearly $200. a month because of property taxes. I suppose next will be my insurance bill.
I worked at Big Lots for three years and it's gone downhill. I heard word that they were going into bankruptcy due to low sales last year.Then my hours got cut so I quit this was in Georgia.
Do not buy Big Lots furniture it's cheap and will fall apart made in China. Trust me I've put the furniture together very poorly made!!!!! It's not worth the money trust me
Other items are made in China.
This April I visited a Big Lots in another County there were two people in the store wow. And their prices have been increased I go up and down the aisle saying I'm not paying that yes too expensive.
I now work at Dollar General and business has been very good no problem . Friday ,Saturday and Sunday are our busiest.
Dollar General has a low staffing problem due to low pay rate at $10.50 an hour.
Why is someone going to work there when they can work up the street for $15 an hour somewhere else. Right that's ridiculous. But it's a job and it pays my bills as little as it is.
Sears Roebuck and Company was once the largest retailer in the US.
Voting has consequences
Amen.. I knew this was coming.. and a couple years ago I was warning Danno.
Yet those of us who voted for Trump are suffering the same consequences!
Nah, voting is an illusion. The game is rigged, Trump was cheated by the Demonrats and rhinos last election
@@AmyBethB But those of us who voted for Trump also prepared or should have have. If you werent buying gold, silver, becoming debt free, stocking up, cutting costs etc after 2008 then you have nothing to complain about.
@@AmyBethB You're suffering because Biden is in the White House.
In Cincinnati Ohio my husband works for Tri Health and this year they stated they couldn't afford to give employees more than a 2.8 % raise. Not everyone got that but you couldn't get more than that. But Mark Clement the CEO got a 70k bonus.....
At least they pay better than Mercy. Much better.
@@Bob-zh7lr that is true. 2 years they rate adjusted 90% of employees I believe.
Isn’t that always the way? The people that actually do the heavy lifting get nothing, or next to nothing!
From what I have read, don't buy a house now because as the economy gets worse, prices will drop.
Sorry, that’s never going to happen. You have 10,000 new migrants a day coming into the country. Over half the country doesn’t own a home. The demand will continue to go up hence prices will not go down.
Wrong. if they keep going up no one will be able to afford them and then it crashes.
@@lizadivine3785 it will not crash in large cities and commuting towns to those cities. Rents are not coming down either. Along the Hudson River in the NJ side facing NYC, studios are renting for $3000.00 and up per month. Purchasing a studio condo can run you in the millions plus your mo they maintenance fees could be $1400.00 or more depending on amenities. NYC moved into NJ and people are commuting. But they brought their purchasing power with them. What they paid for say $5million in any of the 5 boroughs of NYC, they can purchase a million dollar home in NJ with a backyard with maybe 10 minute drive to a commuter train into NYC. Same thing with Washington DC or Miami. I hear Texas is getting expensive because California is purchasing in Texas and bringing the prices of homes high because of their purchasing power. Florida homes ate creeping up and so are their taxes and home owners insurance. Only places that are affordable is away from the big cities.
@@Bob-zh7lrAnd the immigrants will live 10-12 people in a home splitting the cost and getting paid under the table, unlike the typical American family; and not paying taxes either.
House prices are already starting to drop in some places. It will take time.
We are blessed to have a multigenerational family homestead. We all work either full time and part time outside of the homestead. There are 12 of us, 21 and up. His parents are retired and have their social security and pensions. The house is large with an inlaw apartment and an apartment over the garage. We grow almost all of our own food fornus and our animals. We moved from a very crowded suburban area with no property but very high property taxes. Now we have what we consider, cheap property taxes, under 3 grand per year and many acres of pasture, fields and woods. We all chip in for the chores on the homestead. We would never be able to retire where we lived before, we would be broke because of those property taxes. Our social security would have gone to pay those taxes and then we would have nothing to live on. With grocery prices continuing to go higher, is there a cap on those costs? I feel sorry for our kids and everyone else's kids. It was hard to afford the rent unless they had a few room mates and still they were all struggling to stay afloat. This economy is scary. Check on your senior neighbors, they may be too proud to ask for help. God bless everyone. God Bless America. Stay safe.
We are a multigenerational household too and it has been such a blessing.
@@cynthiamullin661 This is so encouraging!! I've been working on plans to add on to my daughter's home so I could help her with her kids and I would get to see at least some of my grands!! I'm in the west, my kids are in the Midwest or East coast and I'm getting too old to keep doing the 2-5 day drives to see them. Her home is on 10 acres and technically mine since I bought it in 2019, but room for animals and a big garden.
@xo2quilt as long as you all get along and they have their privacy and you will have yours. We made sure there was enough room for all of us. Our kids are 21 and up, so they are not children, but they have their work/careers and 1 is still in college. They also have their lives and friends. Our home is open to their friends anytime. We have a finished walkout basement with 4 rooms there and a full bath. His parents are home almost all of the time. I work part time, my bf works full time. Everyone has different schedules. There are always helping hands around and no more multiple bills by 3 or 4 times every month, ie: utilities, property taxes, water bills, internet service, home owners insurance, rents, etc... our move saved us a lot in property taxes... and the money we save from that, half goes into the homestead and half we save(after current property taxes are paid). Our mortgage is zero, because we sold our home and his parents sold theirs. I have my kids (their father is deceased) and he has his kids (their mother is deceased). Modern day Brady Bunch, a blended family. 😊
@@thisnthattalks1153 I would love a compound with homes for each of my kids so we could all live in close proximity to each other.
@@xo2quilt I suggest that you look for land that is zoned Unrestricted. You can then do what you want with your land. Put in multiple Septic systems drill multiple wells, have multiple mobile homes, raise farm animals, grow crops, etc...
The average price for groceries for Canadians is $450.00 Cdn. Dollars a month. Guess what? It's gone up again. This past month $525.00
For one person. Am I eating steak? Never! How about Roast Beef never! How about chicken. Yes a small chicken roasted lasted for 3 days. Fresh fruit vegetables fresh water fresh juices yes. Bread is $5.00 a loaf.
This is why no one can get ahead plus gas prices are really high.
$5 a loaf of crazy!! It's not too far off here in the US depending which brand you buy though, I've seen it as high as almost $8 for organic. I started making bread for this reason. It doesn't last very long, maybe a few days, but we have 5 people eating it so it works. I tried growing vegetables and the neighbors cats dug up every single one of my crops 😔 very defeating. Times are tough!
Look at ground beef its the best nutrients for the price usually.
You should make bread at home.
I make sourdough using 2 c bread flour, 1 tsp salt, water and refrigerated starter. Most recipes use 3+ cups flour, but small loaf is perfect for me. Under $1 USD per loaf in San Diego.
Everybody has money to burn though buying up all those fireworks.
Today i received a letter from N J departmemt of Banking and Insurance. My home owner policy is going up 26.1% . This is unbelieveable will Increase over $360.00 per month . Talk about the inflation levels out of control. Food prices, gas, utilities car insurance
We got a new Aldi in Milford Ohio and on grand opening i got coupons for $10 off a $40 dollar purchase each week in July. So i am using it on their meat that i like. I got 5 packs of grass fed 93/7 ground beef and 2 pks of ground pork and a pack of chicken for $32. I will use every coupon i have with them.
I went to the Aldi in Milford last week. I don't live close enough to get those grand opening coupons. What an awesome deal!
I like their mild Italian sausage, sliced american cheese..not the wrapped singles, their bacon and canned goods are usually cheap.
Big Lots has been shooting itself in the foot for years. Their prices got ridiculous a long time ago. They've been closing stores for a while.
I stopped shopping there years ago.
I’ve been through this before in 1979. We will survive. America voted for this, at least that’s what I’ve been told. And food and energy isn’t included because last time it made the numbers go too high. That made people demand higher wages and made the politicians look bad.
I live in Bradenton, Florida. I'm getting absolutely disgusted on these prices. I try to go grocery shopping every 2 weeks and the prices are higher every time I go out. The sales ad deals aren't even sales. Even Aldi's and Save-A-Lot the prices have become ridiculous. There's literally no cheap, reasonable places to shop at anymore down here. I'm guessing food inflation down here in the Bradenton Area is up around 2 to 300% from 2 years ago and still increasing
I call the inflation going on: The Perfect Storm. It is a little bit of everything, like you said.
That's the plan. Overload the country with enough "crises" and the government won't be able to handle it, jeading to collapse, leading to socialism. Cloward-Priven Strategy.
When this inflation mess first started I actually cried when I saw the prices in the supermarket. Then when I went again I was mad and embarrassed my poor daughter because I tended to forget I do have a filter when in public. Now I’m just……..numb. , and sad😢

Now, for food.
ALDI: yogurt $0.50. Bananas 🍌 $0.25-0.30/each. (Breakfast idea 💡)
Eggs, scrambled etc...sprinkle with salt 🧂, pepper or paprika.
Bread 🍞 and jam and a cold glass of milk 🥛. In winter, a hot bowl 🥣 of soup 🍲 and toast.
Dinner 🍽 🥗 and spaghetti 🍝. Garlic bread (from Dollar Tree stores)
Keep it simple. 3 to 5 ingredients per recipe (Google it)
Be creative! You CAN do this.
Yes! You can get fancy, just limit # of pieces. Say shrimp 🍤. Keep it to no more than 5 pieces per person per meal. Add lots of pasta and sauce.
KEEP IN MIND. THE AVERAGE PERSON IS FULL ON 6 BITES OF FOOD. That's what wedding caterers use. Then get something calorie dense to drink.
PANERA BREAD RESTAURANT if you have one nearby.
Unlimited SIPS club. Hint: you can fill up your thermos and repackage at home 🏡 to drink later.
Coffee ☕️
Tea
Sodas
Milk 🥛 (by the coffee in carafe)
Get the free condiments and salt, sugar, and pepper packets. Why spend on them when you get them for free?
Napkins too!
Food pantry gives out free food 1x month. Grab it if you have the time or have someone grab it for you!
Don't cry 😢
No!

Come to mind, but there's alot out there! Look for them! There's also a sign up bonus many times!
Good luck 👍
Q❤
I am 68 and I remember penny candy and sometimes two pieces of candy for a penny. So if you had a quarter it was great! Hi Danno and Jess! Greetings from Philadelphia PA USA
Penny candy but your wages were also low.
Yes! I remember the penny candy. Once in a while we would get a quarter (hard to come by when I was young) and that would get us a small bag of penny candy. We thought that was the best thing.
And nickel candy bars..they are smaller now az nd over $1
We have a penny candy store in the near by town here in Western Pennsylvania. The store is called Baldinger's. Tho I doubt everything is still a penny due to this inflation.
@@lovelife7343 I look at all my purchases with the "how many hours do/did I have to work to buy this" lens. When I started working, I earned $1.65 an hour and gas was $0.50 a gallon. I also compare things that way as well.
All insurance (medical, home, and car) is completely out of control. Housing prices and rent is crazy. We are now paying for all those people who got checks from the government during covid.
We are also paying for all the freebies given to the 30 million extra people here. Car insurance went up because there are so many new people driving with no insurance or DL
mobile homes and modular homes are really nice and well built today. but the inflation bug has bit them too.
Definitely put your modular home on a solid foundation or basement.
We didn't and it was a big mistake.
You still have to buy land have that put on a basement or a good foundation. Looking at an easy 200k
@@Bob-zh7lr Plus, some companies won't insure them, or the rates are ridiculous, depending on where you live.
They also don't hold their value like a regular home.
there are just too many stores..too many restaurants......too many choices...there was a time when we needed everything in our neighbourhood because we walked to our stores...now most of us have cars we can drive ...or a bus to take ...or online purchases that deliver to our homes? For most of us we have enough knick knacks...or clothing to last 3 lifetimes....or every kitchen gadget and small appliances..many of us have no room left in our homes to store anything?
I cannot stress this enough - DO NOT OVER PAY FOR YOUR HOME.
Seriously, this is one of the biggest regrets people end up having and if the mistake is large enough you will be in foreclosure. Remember that the property taxes you see on the listing is for what they bought the house for, not what your new property tax bill will be. Also, your insurance cost for the house will be more.
One more tip, your mortgage can and will go up in price. You might ask how since you got a standard fixed rate, it's called property tax reassessment. I'd also strongly avoid HOA's since so many have corruption and are doing some beyond ridiculous price hikes. Imagine getting a new HOA bill for $1600/month on top of whatever your mortgage payment is. Suddenly you now are paying $6k/month after the new HOA assessment.
I'd wait until after election. If the Fed is smart they will increase interest rates to 15% or more to fix this inflation. That will tank the home prices. Now they could do something mind numbly stupid like lower the interest rates which would skyrocket the home prices worse than what you are seeing now. Anyone raising their home prices right now is also stupid. I've already seen that and guess what, they have had their listing for over a year now. Stay away from that. They might have gotten a HELOK and now are trying to get out before foreclosure. This also means things with the house have probably been ignored.
Just for a cost of replacing things, so you have a reference, I'll tell you what I have replaced the past year.
New roof $15k
New hot water heater $1k
Quotes for new fence $10k -$15k
Quote for new driveway $7k-10K
You could end up with those things going on in a destressed sale. Be very careful in this market.
NEVER EVER GET AN ARM LOAN. It's a scam and those people usually end up in foreclose too since they can't dig their way out of that mess.
Our Big Lots, Sears, Kmarts, Family Dollars have all closed. Yes home prices are through the roof now, it’s good for sellers. I’d wait to buy a home, it’s definitely not a buyers market.
I bought sofa from Big Lots 4 yrs. ago, it didn't last a year. It was a Sealy and the seams across the top started busting open. Tried sewing but, not enough fabric to seam it up. But I like Big Lots.
buy an inexpensive older tavel trailer or fifth wheel to live in if you want to park it on your property and build something. when your done with it you can sell it or keep it for extra accomodations for guests.
This whole mess can be turned around and fixed. The President of Argentina brought inflation down very quickly and the county is on the mend. This is so hard for all good people and not right at all. Take heart, we can fix this and help many people. Keep doing what you can for yourself and family and others.
Our deep state will never allow a president to cut their agencies ans departments like Milli did. We'll have civil war government vs conservatives and the government will be the instigators
What did he do? Usury needs to be addressed. It’s a sin for good reason!
None of this is true. Argentina is in a lot of trouble right now.
@@larynOneka8080 , yes it is true. The inflation rate has dropped dramatically. Every day living for people there is hard, but they are climbing out and have a better out look than under the previous socialist party. The government was only spending on themselves (like here, government jobs in US grew more than any other sector). Argentina is working hard to recover and they will, same as USA.
As much as we really love our local businesses and I would love to shop them, we have never been able to afford to. We have to shop at the big box stores no matter how not happy we are about it because they are still more affordable.
No shame in doing what you have to do to take care of your family.
@@user-wj1xr8nn7t Thank you ☺️
We moved close to you (Louisville KY) and we are surprised that prices aren’t too far from NC Raleigh prices. It’s definitely not cheap here (anymore).
It's not gonna get better if Americans keep voting for free programs. Free is not free.
It seems like the Walmart stores mostly close due to theft.
God bless you and Jessica, may you find the things that make you feel comfortable and happy.
I love watching your videos ,especially when Jess is on with you.
We are in Houston. We had 2 back to back storms that busted our butts. We have spent $10k on storm damage and cleanup and insurance deductibles in the past less than 60 days. Adios savings!!!!!!!!!! Lord God please let it stop for a bit. Doesn't count the lost work and childcare due to power outages
Thank you Danno for your daily reports, your time is very much appreciated.😊
Been on a zero based budget for years and I don't think people even realize how bad the economy really is. Probably cost $1000 more per month just for the same goods and services a few years ago, when you calculate ALL extra expenses!
its bad! Contributing way less to retirement cause this.
I'm buying a lot less or buy marked down stuff at Kroger. I'm retired & I go to the food pantry & thrift stores. I bought a nice recliner for a $100 from the store my son works for. I'm 73 & I hardly buy anything new anymore. With the high prices now, I can't....
I don't buy anything extra anymore. We never eat out. I miss eating out once in awhile. I feel guilty if we do.
I'm 72 and live alone and if it wasn't for my savings, I'd lose my house. My S.S. doesn't even cover my mortgage payment. Plus I got a letter this week saying my mortgage went up another $200. because of property tax.
Very few family owned businesses have closed in my Mississippi town. More chain businesses have closed down than anything else.
I'm not sure if you've mentioned where you are (I'm in Hattiesburg). There are new privately owned businesses opening up here regularly ( mostly restaurants). After looking at menus/prices online, I won't be eating at many 😊, but the city is growing. Like you said, mostly chains that are closing.
@@danniemcdonald7675I was born in Hattiesburg but live in Tupelo
My oven broke, not able to be fixed. It is a small wall oven. When it was purchased in 2007 it cost around $500-600. Same size oven
now costs $2,000+. A medical procedure will be costing me around $4k, so no new oven. Looks like we'll be doing stove top
cooking for the rest of the year. Inflation is definitely hurting retirees.
Hello from Northern Michigan...
The rich are getting richer. Record breaking profits. And massive bonuses for the higher up
There a spicy mushroom seasoning that I haven’t seen in a while. Big lots, at least near me, have been always pricy and not very good.
So true about profits!!
Sears was Amazon 40 years ago. Nobody is invincible.
If the market crashes.... you could get a great deal on a home. We bought a home in 2007 and 6 months later it was worth half of what we paid! If it's your forever home, that doesn't matter.
I would wait was looking in 2006-7 didnt buy till 2013. I see it over inflated not as big of drop but 20% in many markets
I travel quite a bit and the resorts and hotels and parks and airports are full of people, I think some are struggling, but I work very hard and have continued my education, so fortunately my salary keeps going up. I control what I can control, like keeping up my skills and continuing education to add to my credentials which in turn, means a higher salary for what I do. Stay encouraged.
I heard that buying a house, or new car isn't a good idea.
Buying big anything that you have to make payments on is not a good idea.
Purchasing ANYTHING on credit is a debt spiral downwards in my books.
The housing market will collapse and people will have to sell. That's when you want to buy. That's what we did during the 2018 collapse
I can’t cut anymore. This is foking ridiculous!
Disclaimer, I didn’t vote for a vegetable 🥕
In 2016 we bought a 2 acre plot with 3500+ sq ft. house for $84,900 for our cat sanctuary. Danno, you have to get OUT OF THE CITY!! If you go out into rural areas, you can find houses and property for 50-60% less than what you are looking at now.
They are jacking up the prices on a lot of these houses because "investors" are offering $30-50,000 over asking price ... cash ... sight unseen. Many are from out of town. The guy who was doing some work on my house (another big expense that seems to be getting more expensive) said he has done some jobs on some of these houses and the owner just wants it to "look pretty". One example was just put new floor covering over existing, despite there being some rotted subfloor. My guy said that's not how he works. Since he had the lowest bid, the buyer kept him and let him replace the rotted area.
So you may want to keep an eye out and see if any that you have looked at are back on the market soon. They may also have a buyer lined up.
My bills have gone up at least 10 percent across the board over the past year: insurances, utilities, everything.
The Fed says it's 2.something% lol
Good Evening from Wisconsin
Danno, if you and Jess need food, come to my house. I'll fill up your vehicle! I have a large garden too.
I'm a canner. Plus, I have a ton of 25 year food. Or lots of Keystone meat.
I'm slightly OCD! And I'm 75. I can't eat all this stuff, even if I lived another 20 years.
I wish I could buy a house in foreclosure then give it back to the people who lived in it
My husband has a Sears Roebuck long sleeve button down shirt (tag in place) that is still in great shape. You are talking about 20 plus years of wear! Gone are the days....
Hello Seattle In The Chat 🤗
I used to shop at Walmart..
I refuse to shop there anymore their food is getting so bad!!!
It pertains to all the foods.
Canned foods, meats & ,produce .
I just refuse to shop there for food...
Can't wait for Ollie's in Alpena MI.. still a 30 minute drive, but we do a run to Meijer, Aldis, S Vincent DePaul and other stores.
Our Ollie's and Big Lots are next door to each other. Ollie's (and some other smaller stores in the strip mall) open at 9.
Big Lots opens at 10. I thought they both opened at 9, so I was there about 9:15. BL , of course, hadn't opened. There were 5 other people walking up to the door. I told them they were closed until 10. We all went to Ollie's. I found everything on my list (and then some) and was out the door before 10. 2 of the others that walked over were ahead of me in line, and one told the other that BL had lost his business as long as Ollie's kept carrying whatever he had ...looked like some plumbing supplies.
You talked about Sears and April 2018 is when we lost our Sears on this side of town in Cincinnati. Sears is under 10 stores in the entire country now. I don’t know why they don’t just admit the party’s over. Here in metro Cincinnati we used to have I believe 5 or 6 and to think the nearest one is now 800 miles away I am floored.
Good morning everyone ☀️🌅
My first hubby and I bought our first house, in the 80’s and the interest rates were 18% for the first 4 years; but it did eventually come down. If I were you guys, I’d wait, for a bit, and see what November brings. Hopefully if things change in November things may start to turn around. It’s always hard to know what to do. We’ve struggled for a few years,about whether to buy property out of the county were in; but then you have to worry about thieves stealing your supplies (unless you’re living in a trailer on the property). Just really think about logistics on a blank piece of property. Infrastructure will cost the earth, then what to build. We have almost arrived at buying something and getting it refurbished. Good luck!
Went to home depot to get morganite for my lawn and the employee said to me people can't aford to fertilize and water there lawns. We have no customers anymore. I was surprised that he expressed that to me.😮😮😮
didnt think home depot still sold milorganite😂. But when I saw the prices for fertilizer for $60, on sale, when it was $25 a year ago I said the same thing, screw the lawn 😂.
@@BrianK-zz4fk it was 20 dollars for a 32 lb bag. It use to be 12 dollars.
@@catladynj my hd stopped carrying it so was scotts fertilizer. but ya about double for that too, unless your actually using the lawn its kinda pointless you waste all that money just to look at it😂
in kansas city I've noticed tons of mom and pop restaurants closed down, and we are stuck with chain only eateries.
only freezer food I get is the sams hamburger patty bag since I only cook one burger at a time and crinkle fires and meatballs and chicken thighs from the poultry area I love the new separated bags they put them in so you can thaw 3 at a time in 4 sections NO MORE FREEZER ZIPLOCKS NEEDED.
Great value is my favorite coffee.
It's good coffee and the price is right also.
@@palady1486 I agree. We can get more for our money.
Companies are making record profits they are playing people for fools !!!
Be as self sufficient as possible. You'd be surprised how much a small garden can produce. I started canning late in life and it has been a great way to stock up on my food supply😊
Companies are not making record profits. The mistake you are making is thinking in terms of numbers of dollars. When in the last 15 year the number of dollars printed went from $1.68 trillion in January 2009 to over $20 trillion today, of course they are taking in more dollars. This is what happens during inflation. Inflation is an increase in the money supply which leads to a devaluing of the money supply as a whole. In order to maintain the same value when the currency goes down in value, companies have to charge more.
But those of us who were warning of this for years were told we were nuts. People need to stop complaining about inflation and the prices going up. People voted for this and want thins outcome. Those that didnt prepared in advance because we understood basic economics.
CEO huge yearly incomes, perks and stock buy backs ….we are literally supporting billionaires
Companies have always been greedy and many companies have closed down, what changed is the devaluation of currency through endless gov. spending! Thats where the massive inflation is coming from.
Nominal dollars, adjusted for inflation they are not. Stop spreading this BS
I am in South Louisiana and I know several people who are struggling to just keep food on the table. We are paying, Like Senator John Kennedy says, almost $900.00 more a moth in living cost. This cost include insurance, house, cars, life, groceries, utility bills have gone up, there has been nothing not touched with rising cost here. This being one of the poorer states for income, rental rates are ridiculous, I sit here thinking, who can afford those rates? We have some of kids living month to month. We all have to really read about politics, economy, and learn about what is going on in our government today, so we can all make a very informed voting decision. This decision will affect our children and grandchildren for years and years. We have way to much greed in America today and less values. It is time to change that table around. God bless you all.
I'm a Louisiana native and FLED that state during the Oil Bust.
They Tac groceries, are Right To Work, have no job protections and God forbid , you get hurt on the job in that state.
Hi from Southern California. I live with my daughter and grand children. I am finding it hard to live on Social Security. I never could live on my own. I do shop at Walmart and Aldis to strecth my income. I know it must be so hard on the ones who are raising a family ☠️😦
In Williamsburg, OH they are building a Dollar General Market, right next door to our Dollar General.
They say, once the DG Market is open, then the regular DG next door will go away.
Boy, I'm late.
I had my cousin up for dinner.
Then I had to vacuum seal steaks, hamburger, pork chops, pork steaks.
Housing prices are up because of all the money that has been printed. And everything else is up for the same reason 😅
Hello 🤗
It just seems like all the food in the United States is becoming very suspect fruits and vegetables are being genetically modified as well as the meat.
Even the canned goods are tainted animals won't even eat true value tuna fish anymore or any of their canned meats.
There's been lots of people having experiences of getting rubber bananas and rubber watermelons.
Times are just getting scary!!!!
Actually it’s Corporate America…..owning g every single thing we need for basic life….
I buy disposable paint brushes from DT fo 1.25, we have a Family Dollar close by, the SAME paint brush was 5.25?????
I looked up how many big lots in the US ... 1389 IS what I found
No brainer we need new president
We need a lot of new things.
We need responsible citizens also!
We have a “no brain “ president 🥴
And a corrupt liar!@@missadams1330
Don't go to Big Lots often and really can't stand Ollie's it is like a tornado hit it. I do like their book section.
Yes, Ollie’s has a great book section!
I go to Ollies for the books too.
It’s not hurting people who don’t consume from stores. I can literally get eggs milk coffee little cheese few other things for $30 at aldis. I don’t buy produce. Buy meats in bulk and freeze.
You would think since Big lots is a liquidation store that they would be keeping the prices down and they would be booming because look at all the companies that are going down
I think Big Lots started going downhill when they started manufacturing their own food line. Prior to that, they had a good selection of international foods. I used to buy mostly food there.
That's a fabulous idea. Buy land and add a modular home😊
Yes, an option 😊
you still have to pay property tax and unless your paying cash home insurance and a mortgage.🤷♂️
The inflation is not a mystery. It is disastrous policies by an incompetent administration. Trump had a great economy and prices were good.
Yea never mind all the "money" that was printed under his ruler ship. The economy was basically shut down during his reign. Yea, it was so wonderful. And prices have continued rising no matter which asshole is in the white house because they are perfectly fine with trillions of garbage "money" being printed which is really just another form of theft
inflation really is killing the country my dude
0:26 yep, according to plan
We have a small family owned grocery store. It's been here since 1957. Some things are more than wallmart, but their meats are REALLY GOOD! And the meat is reasonable. New youur strip, $5.99/lb! Pork chops were $1.49/lb etc. I have 2 refrigerators and a upright freezer and they're all full.
I think I'm in your area if it's Volusia. Where is your store?
Good evening Danno, Frank and Jess 🙋♀️
When you, Jess and Frank find a house you're sure about, take a serious look at the yard, under the sinks, the hot water heater and find out when the house was built and the age of the roof.
Many insurance companies will no longer insure homes built before 1980. Same with a roof under 15yrs old. When I was up for renewal they sent a drone to look at my yards. I had to get the trees trimmed to under 36 inches from power lines. They also made me photograph under the sinks, under each toilet, and around the washer dryer, and how the hot water heater was installed. If you need to do things like roof replacement to get insurance, you can prob talk down the price.
Most lenders won't back a mortgage without a professional inspection.They will be able to answer most of those questions.
It's called economics, supply and demand. With inflation, if prople stopped living on credit, quit buying, and stayed home prices would come down. Stay home and cook from scratch; no Stouffer's or other pre-prepared foods. America's have gotten so lazy, and wasteful. Big Lots was a bargain store, but not in my area.
There are still a few Sears stores open, several in California. Looks like 13 stores left, 1 of them in Puerto Rico, the rest in 6 states. It's sad that we keep losing the Department Stores. They were good places to buy basic clothes and household goods. Walmart and Target just aren't the same quality.
We still have a Sears in Burbank, California.
And a Bob’s Big Boy 😀
people dont have money anymore so even dollar tree is going down.. people can't afford 1.25 anymore.. sad I was just in dollar tree and there was no line at all it was dead in there pretty much there was one other customer other then me.. there's always a line at dollar tree
Big Lots has lost there way. Back in there prime, They bought up stock from closing stores. And passed the savings to the customer. Big Lots furniture is not stocked. You have to have it shipped.
