It's not just dining out and groceries. Hotel rates are crazy too!! Unless you are getting a group rate for a special event (Thanks Bob!!!:worship:) 4.0 or better hotels on the interstate are $200 after taxes, and if you anywhere near any touristy area or college football event, double that, or sold out. - Bill W

I would have slept in my car.

And if you haven't received the renewal for your homeowners insurance recently, be prepared.....

My belief is that pandemic price raises were a way for businesses to try to stay afloat. I got that and supported it. Once the recovery started, there was no way prices were going back down. They have steadily gone up on the ruse that they are still recovering from the pandemic. To be fair, some may be, but not all I'm sure. For instance, anyone think gas prices will ever go back to pre pandemic levels?

In my opinion that depends on who's running this country.

My homeowners is renewing later this month and went up drastically.

Been out to dinner twice this entire year: my birthday and my son's birthday. Same restaurant: Chinese Buffett which prior to the pandemic was $11.99 for an Adult and $10.99 for a Senior. Now it's $16.99 and $15.99. Add a $5 tip which seems a little stupid as I get my own food, but Alex used to work there so we can't stiff the staff.

As far as homeowners insurance, if you live in either California or Florida you may see an increase as much as 300% to 500% because insurance companies are refusing to write policies under the current laws which are about to be changed in favor of the insurers.

Maybe on the gas prices - soon but not right away. Two brand new refineries are about to go online one in Mexico and the other in Nigeria.

Two long-delayed refineries outside the U.S. are set to ramp up production, pumping out about 1 million more barrels a day of fuel.

Large new refineries in Mexico and Nigeria are ready to start producing fuel after a long start-up process that had left Wall Street skeptical that they’d open soon.

“These two refineries, which have been hit by major delays and cost overruns, appear within reach of the finish line,” writes Tudor Pickering Holt analyst Matthew Blair.
