Yup, I can confirm ... in Maryland
I started getting live 10ft trees in 2015 when we moved into the house we built that have a two story living room. I always got them from the same place, a landscaping company whose owner I knew that ran a tree stand in town. In 2015 the cost of the tree was $110. In 2019 the same sized tree was $125. In 2020 the same sized tree was $185, 2021 was $210, this year the cost wouldve been $265.
Since 2020 I thought about getting a new fake tree. I called my buddy to see what the cost was going to be this year ...... I just couldnt justify it any longer. I bought a 10ft Balsam Hill Narrow tree and bought a "Pine Tree" candle from Yankee Candle.
Ya the Balsam Hill tree was expensive, but its LED, pre lit, I can change the color of the lights from a remote, easy to put up, easy to take down and store, dont have to water it, dont have to worry about needles nor having to get rid of it after New Years, and finally ... I never have to buy a tree again.
If only Balsam Hill made their trees anywhere else but China, I would consider this one of the best purchases I have made in years.
But ya .... on thread topic .... inflation sucks .... although Im not seeing the scarcity problems ya'll are posting about. Plenty of Milk and eggs and everything really ....... I do live in a very rural area, so maybe that has something to do with it???? I know for meat, I get my beef and pork all from local farmers straight from the butcher. I buy a qtr cow twice a year. Beef cost went from $4 a pound to $4.75, but too me thats worth the cost ..... I know exactly where the beef comes from.
I don't pay average national or state prices. Is reading really this hard for the libs?
Notice there's no sympathy for the poor being unemployed and paying double to 10X for food what they did under Trump.
The trees fid far more to help the house than the solar panels
But what do I know
I realize some people in this thread wouldn't be caught dead in a Walmart or Aldi but I do remember 38 cent eggs and 1.24 milk here in Greenville.
Where the hell do you live? Further confirmation living in Oconee County is far better than any medium to big city. A dozen organic eggs is about five bucks and milk is 4.59 a gallon for the cheap crap and 5.44 for half gallon of organic grass fed milk is reasonable to me. It hasn’t really gone up that much although I do see prices up here. Nothing like what I read about in the cities though.
if you lived close I would share my wife’s bounty of designer eggs from her 7 laying hens she has named
retired and loving it with wife in small town with really big lot with a mini for fun farm
plant stuff but i have developed a black thumb LOL
every week 84 eggs or 7 dozen so we share with neighbors along with other stuff like home nade wine, vegetables, deer meat, etc
I would even share with liberals on here as they are people too LOL
