Construction costs are currently skyrocketing

With all due respect, everyone should look at themselves and refrain from waving the obvious at every opportunity or discrediting other forum participants and their posts. I’m not only referring to you personally but have observed for weeks how quickly and eagerly the collective club is swung as soon as someone starts to hit. Stay objective and either respect other opinions/statements or put those on your ignore list if it bothers you so much to read the respective posts. The constant "personal attacks" and very frequent comments like "don't feed the troll" are at least just as inappropriate and certainly do not contribute to a better forum atmosphere! Whoever preaches tolerance and free expression of opinion should also live it, instead of trying to silence dissenters at every opportunity.

There is a video about food inflation in the USA. Very enlightening. One kilo of flour for 8 USD, a small piece of cheese over 10 USD. Eggs for 6 $, a small bread - palm-sized - 5$, etc. Many people can no longer afford that. Meat is almost unaffordable. Restaurant prices are prohibitive. 100 dollars is nothing there.

A normal weekly grocery shopping now costs 5-600 dollars there.

It always depends on what I buy. I have always paid attention to quality and regionality. These products have always cost more, but they were not shipped halfway around the world and do not clog up the roads.
