Just checked my walmart's in store stock on Eight O'Clock Whole Bean Coffee (any variety). The only thing in stock is Eight O'Clock Coffee Medium Roast Whole Bean 100% Colombian Peaks Coffee 30 oz and it's almost $18. I have no other choices and $18 for a 30oz. bag is ridiculous.
I haven't yet been stung by coffee inflation, but the commodity price has shot up these past few years and Herr Trump slapped a hefty tariff on Brazil this summer lol.
That alone should have Muricans out in the streets with pitchforks, but half of the electorate is pleased with
I'm not a freshly roasted beans snob (yeah I'm doing it all wrong), so I buy from Amazon when there's a good sale. For example, this was a great deal but it's way too much for me to stockpile:
Prime: 6-Pk 35.2-Oz Kicking Horse Organic Whole Bean Coffee (Three Sisters, Medium Roast) - 2025-10-07
Amazon has for Prime Members: 6-Pack 35.2-Oz Kicking Horse Organic Whole Bean Coffee (Three Sisters, Medium Roast) for $51.58 - 5% when you check out via Subscribe & Save = $49. Shipping is free.

Guess what happens when the WELL MANAGED Federal Gov cuts and guts all new energy projects?
Power bills are spiking because Trump keeps killing new electricity generating projects
The Bureau of Land Management says the largest solar project in Nevada has been canceled amidst the Trump administration’s federal permitting freeze.
Esmeralda 7 was supposed to produce a gargantuan 6.2 gigawatts of power – equal to nearly all the power supplied to southern Nevada by the state’s primary public utility.

My power bill just jumped another 2-3 cents/kwh in the middle of a 3 year contract because the Texas power companies who providers buy power from increased the transmission deliver fees to make up for the grid and weather updates they’ve been delaying for the last decade.
Did see an article that said overall fossil fuel usage may drop in Texas by 1% this year because of all the solar and wind added to the grid. (Depends on if the average wind speed picks up for the rest of the year as it usually does). If that becomes common knowledge expect the Texas govt to do something to prevent it.

DeWalt air pump was $139, on sale at $119.
Thanks to your Trump Tax, it is now $169.

"New lower price"
From USD 139 to USD 169!!!

MAGA is their own special breed of stupid. They'd eat a mile of shit if they thought a liberal had to smell their breath.

Bought mine a few months ago at the sale price plus 5% kickback from Discover Card. Close call.
As an aside, am I correct by mentioning that all tariff levies are collected by the federal gov't into a discretionary fund that can be exploited by the current administration?

I'm not in the market, but a brief web search turned this up, from July.

DRAM prices are about to skyrocket — DDR4 and GDDR6 among formats that could increase in price by up to 45%
And that's without new tariffs on products from Japan and South Korea.

Companies are also laying off employees and relying on AI to replace them. Thank God we kept taxes low for these large corporations, could you imagine having to use the extra revenue to ensure there is a safety net or programs available to help these newly minted dead beats?/s
China would be worried if the prices skyrocket like that... maybe they will start to increase the production even more?

So eggs are the cheapest they've been in around 8 years for me. But, everything else is sky high. I don't eat enough eggs for this to be a win, but I do eat other shit that's shot up 50% in price :|
$6 for a box of CHEEZ-ITS! I used to be able to get a big ass family sized box for that. The new boxes say "pantry size" on them. I've never even heard of that shit, but I'm pretty sure it's the exact same size as the old boxes I could get for $4 a year ago. Family size makes sense, panty size is some bullshit to make people think they're getting more than before.
$11 for a 12 pack of Coke's bullshit. But I'm sure the MAGAs will focus on eggs being record low and pretend like everything else isn't TGDH.
