Prices are dropping or being moved around.
For example - amazon goods - prices haven't really changed much but its so affordable to buy at amazon because of the negligible shipping. 5 years ago it would have cost you $150 bucks to same day/overnight a package. Today i can order batteries, dog food and cleaning supplies and have it show up by 3pm. So pricing has "changed" if you ask me - you don't get the cheapest goods compared to other stores but the overall price is low because it shows up to my front door super quick and saves me time/money in other places.
Beyond that - i'm seeing pricing settle. I build lifepo batteries, prices were way up but coming down. Construction goods are trending down. Lumber is up and down variable on supply but coming down.
Dining out prices have gone through the roof though... just had a terrible meal the other day and for crappy food it was 48 bucks for 2 people. So I'm just gonna cut out dining out unless i know i'm paying for premium. I'd rather spend 150 bucks for a meal i'll never forgot that is a 3 hour experience than 50 bucks for something thrown in a microwave and slapped on the table. So there is the value vs reward thing to think of here..
but other things - 3d printing is cheap, hobbies are cheap... cars? expensive, I invested in an EV bcause electricity is cheap and speaking of electricity Solar and home battery systems are so cheap now compared to before that i offset some costs of cooling by just buying new AC, new efficient appliances and using new panels.
what prices are you seeing stay up? even fuel is below 4 bucks a gallon and struggling to stay up
- asah 4y agoLol, if you can get a decent meal in midtown Manhattan for $150 that would indeed be unforgettable! :-)
