No, agreed that things do indeed cost a lot more. I don't see it in your example of parm, WalMart has it for $2-$5, which maybe is a lot more than it was a year ago, but also your finances may be a lot different than mine. Or maybe you're in a different parm bracket than I am. ;-) But also my family has been fairly fortunate, knock on wood, that the inflation hasn't impacted us much day to day, and also we have been able to have money to invest. I do realize that many, many people are not so fortunate.
