Is it just me or has inflation become very noticeable over the last 6 months.

For example

I used to pay $12 for a haircut at Manmur then in March it was raised to 14.
12-pks of bud light / miller lite/ coors lite were regularly 7.99, now 8.49.
I drink corona often so i am used to buying limes for 25 cent but are now 44 cents.
Gas is the most obvious sticking around 2.90's and $3.
Tacos at taco bell are now 99 cents up from 89 cents.

Wolfweb aliases are still just $5. Invest now and you can probably sell them for profit one day.

Realized that today too, lotsa standard shit I usually buy is slowly going up. Companies' way of taking care of that minimum wage increase inconspicuously over time perhaps.

Most of those are probably increasing due to increased fuel costs which lead to higher production and transportation costs.

I'm sorry you get your haircut at Manmur.

i don't think what you described is inflation...just price increases.

though, i took ec205 5 years ago.

the most notable things i've noticed as far as inflation is that you use to be able to get canned tuna for 3/$1 ALL the time...now its like 2/$1 when its on sale

also yogurt is about 45 cents or so..use to always be 3/$1
