In Canada, my province, the number of homeless people has gone up so much that it used to be rare to see a homeless person in downtown Halifax. Now it's IMPOSSIBLE to NOT see a homeless person.

This has nothing to do with inflation,but our water and sewer cost is outrageous. A couple of years ago, the brilliant minds of our township decided to sell the sewer facility to the water supplier. The spin was this would result in a decrease in local taxes. Yeah, right. Taxes are now back to what they were before, and my monthly bill has doubled. Last month I owed almost $400 for water and sewer. For a family of 4!
Stop drinking so much water, you'll p.i.s.s less often which equals to less flushing.

I don't drink water anymore. Fish have s/e/x in it. :O~~~

I went to go pick up my wife's hair dye at Walgreens. Up from $8 to $12.

Best reason ever to pay a little extra towards the principal every month. Builds equity faster and cuts the length of the loan (and the total interest paid) substantially. Even a few dollars helps demonstrably -- easy to make or find a calculator to show the difference of paying, e.g., an extra $50 per payment makes.
Virtually all (if not all) mortgages nowadays permit such payments with no penalty, although in the old days there were penalties associated with prepayment (so to speak) of principal.

Possibly due to supply chain issues for the Cochineal bug that's causing prices to soar. Would you like a bowl chocolate covered crickets while reading this article?

Ace Hardware $28.99 for the past year 110 oz.
The Home Depot $23.98 110 oz.
I've used these pre-mixes a few times. I prefer, much cheaper, to mix unleaded (no ethanol) gas with a small bottle of Echo 2 cycle oil for my Echo trimmers.
In the 1970's I managed a rental store for a few years. We bought cheap generic 30W SAE oil from a local oil distributor. We used that oil in everything, the crankcases of 4 cycle engines, we mixed it with gasoline for the 2 cycle chainsaws, Lawn Boy and Jacobsen 2 cycle mowers etc. Never had a problem.

you should jump on a few containers at that price
I play the game where I use gas 'n oil throughout most of the season, then guesstimate my last tankful of the season.and then I run with TruFuel in my line trimmer and chain saw.
Pricing around here is similar to Aprazer402 . . . That's 10 clams more than the last time I bought the stuff 2-3 yrs agoAC Regenerator PS Audio PerfectWave Power Plant 10

So is the largest portion of the inflated price increases seen in most commodities and items, higher transportation costs that each part of the manufacturing-distribution-retail chain has to incur and past along?

No dice amigo, I buy non-ethanol 95 octane and mix my own with Echo Red armour oil. Still cheaper yet!

Man you guys take this serious! In my weed eater, I add oil and gas.. If the exhaust is smoking i add less oil and more gas next time 😂- Not Tom ::::::: Any system can play Diana Krall. Only the best can play Limp Bizkit.

well... anyone using a 2-cycle engine has probably learned the hard way that mixing EtOH containing gas and oil is just asking for trouble unless the engine's run very, very regularly (daily) or one scrupulously runs the engine dry every time one's finished with it.
I use EtOH-free gasoline (which several stations around here carry) for the four-stroke small engines around here. Unfortunately, even using that stuff, the shelf life of DIY premixed two-stroke fuel is... not great. I have only one two-stroke I use even close to regularly (brushcutter). I decided that the storebought, premixed stuff is a great deal. It seems to hold up very well and work very reliably.
PS I freaking hate two-stroke engines.

Most if not all 2stroke oil additive already has fuel treatment. My small engine repair guy "advised" me to not add stable fuel additives if I wanted my gear to last.
I only use less than 3gal a summer, at the end of summer use any extra goes into the car or truck before a fill up. -
