welcome back youtube we are back with another hot one and today we are going to be talking about
inflation prices in real time uh before we start if you haven't uh subscribed to this
channel please do so uh if you find this video informational and helpful give it a thumbs up
and head over to our instagram page where we have a lot more content on there uh more behind
the scenes uh things from day to day so let's get back into this uh we have been uh we've moved out
to the homestead now for uh nine months or eight months or whatever and nine months and so uh we
we took our um receipts specifically from costco and ran some numbers from what we purchased our
groceries at the beginning of the year to our most recent one which was just last year or last week
at the end of august and the numbers are pretty astronomical and for some of you that might not
think about it it's only a dollar or two here once we break these down uh you're gonna kind of
realize what we're actually headed towards and at the end of the video i have another
uh warning from a distributor that's been putting out letters to retailers about the upcoming price
increase on top of what's already happened so i'm going to let kimberly take this one away and run
some numbers and go from there yes as the teacher i am the one who's in charge of the numbers that's
right so i made sure to write everything down um like i always tell my students make sure you write
it down if you uh if you can't keep it straight in your head um so first of all just kind of a little
explanation as to how we figured this out um you want to work out the difference in the increase
obviously so that's pretty simple you know you can say oh it's a dollar here or a dollar fifty dollar
25 whatever once you take that increase between your two same items as to one time period versus
another um you're then going to divide that increase by the original number that it was
and then you multiply the answer by 100 obviously to get the percentage so that's what we did with
all of our groceries all of our items that are listed here you can do the same thing that's why
i'm explaining it so that you can do the same thing if you if you wish to just make sure you
keep your receipts yeah exactly yeah we keep all our receipts to make sure that we're uh we're
doing our accounting process um okay so the first item up um now this is as andre mentioned costco
um we also have two um liquor items as well um specifically tequila so the first me on the list
the first ball for the most part yes the first item on the list is um tequila um
and henyo a-n-j-e-n-o it's a type of tequila um so in back in february or march march was
our first grocery run um it was 43.70 it's now as of a week ago 44.25 cents that's up 55 cents
which is an increase of 1.26 percent that's the lowest there's a lot more then we have coconut oil
that was 1749 back in march it is now 17.99 that's an increase of 50 50 cents which is an
increase of 2.86 just the way that the numbers work out so that's 2.86 then there was coffee
that's completely on him because i don't drink coffee that was 12.99 back in march
it's now 13.49 so that's again up 50 cents but it's an increase of 3.85 percent
then there's another tequila item um this is tequila blanco so that's 33.45 it's now
35.50 so that's an increase of two dollars and five cents uh which is which is rather large
a rather large jump that's an increase of six point one three or six point thirteen percent
then there's nut butter again that's completely on him because i don't need that um that was 11.99
it's now 12.99 so that's an increase of a dollar because of the way the numbers
work that's an increase of eight point three four percent we're getting up there
there's popcorn kernels we like our popcorn that's a pretty healthy snack um it's something that you
can that is healthier than like cookies or muffins or whatever in any case yeah chips
exactly um in any case it was 8.99 back in march it's now 9.79 so that's an increase of
80 cents and that's and that's an increase of 80 cents and percentage-wise that's 8.9
then there's honey honey honey was 16.99 we're for a three kilogram bottle the big ones that costco
has it's now 19.99 so that's an increase of three dollars now percentage-wise that's an increase of
17.66 percent then there was yogurt now we buy greek yogurt um so this is what we do the greek
yogurt from costco so this is the kirkland brand it's nothing from the kirkland one so it's nothing
special it's not anything that's like super you know out there in terms of price or anything um
you may find different prices if you're buying uh yogurt that's not organic or whatever what have
you um or that's not greek in any case in march that was 7.99 for a three pack it's now 9.59 so
that's an increase of a dollar and 50 cents and that's percentage-wise 18.77 now this one this one
is the killer that's right and i'm very grateful that we uh that we don't have to do this anymore
um so for two percent milk um is was four dollars and sixty five cents back in march
now it is eight dollars and 49 cents that's an increase of three dollars and 84 cents which
granted is the largest monetary increase we've had so far percentage-wise that's an increase of 82.58
that's enormous so overall um the extra percentages that we've that
i've added up that i just took all of those extra percentages by how much everything is increased
and added it up that adds up to on your groceries 150.35
in six months on eight items so this is just eight items too so this is not the entire
the grocery bill some items did not go up at all such as cheese which is kind of weird because we
have both yogurt and milk which are both dairy products went up in price but for some reason
cheese stayed the same they must be doing shrink flation on that one making the packages smaller
which is something that we should actually check too and actually if you've noticed the prices
don't go up um just check your package size from what you purchased before to your current size of
uh package right because you might see the same price and be like oh nothing's changed but the
actual grams or the weight in the item has changed as well now i would like to bring up one point is
how has your paychecks increased according to the inflation on this probably not very much with the
outcome of the last 18 months of what's going been going on uh uh especially if you're on government
assistance i know some people are making more money on that but that's besides the fact it
hasn't gone up 150 exactly well your government assistance isn't going to help you anyways for 150
now this also does not include the that everybody has uh felt is the gas increases right across
north america i'm not sure about europe having been there in a couple years but i know in north
america especially in canada our prices have gone up through the roof just on gas alone um
now also uh one other thing is how about the house prices the house prices are now just
insane insane so if your prices if your paycheck has remained the same or even
gone up you know like i've been an employee once before where you get a 50 cent dollar increase
big deal right but now you're seeing prices on houses going up 50
a 000 thousand and they're just skyrocketing year over year um so that's that's another thing
is who can on top of these inflated prices on top of your gas prices uh on top of the
the house housing market increase uh things are building more and more now what i mentioned at
the beginning of the video there has been a letter uh being sent out by distributors to retailers and
they're telling us about the price of future goods now basically in the letter they're saying
that the supply chain is a complete mess and uh goods are up by crazy amounts uh such as freight
freight has changed uh from pre-pandemic uh times seven to eight times to now and uh we're talking
uh these numbers here so shipping containers were pre pandemic were thirty five hundred dollars
so in order to ship something from china to north america it will cost thirty five hundred dollars
per shipping container now you're talking twenty eight thousand dollars per shipping container
and this is us dollars so now taking consideration that um that's us dollars
if you're living in canada now that's going to go up too now that's only shipping containers on c
so once it comes into port now your items have to be shipped from port to wherever you live your
city and then distributed from the distribution center to the real realtors or retail shops
and uh what does that include that includes gas so not only are you paying extra on the freight
you're paying on extra on the gas on the gas on the gas and uh basically what they're saying
right now is they're not seeing no signs of improvement for the next six to 12 months
and from what i've gathered from uh what you get from government officials and timelines these
days uh six to 12 months is a conservative time frame i would say emphasis on that i would say
uh maybe a year and a half two years you should be looking towards um but if you're looking at
the numbers altogether here this is just a matter of 18 months and from what these distributors have
been saying is things are not going to get any easier for any of us right now in the near future
so i would say our recommendation is get out there and get your
items that you need sooner than later exactly uh if you can still find them on the shelves because
some items are not uh available in some stores now you go into some walmarts or whatever and
shelves are empty that's right not to be you know pessimist or anything it's just more of a realist
take and a realist look on the situation that's right um i think it's really important to be
informed as to what where your money is going and how things have improved and keep in mind this is
those prices that have increased on just those specific items that we talked about that's only
in six months like for milk to have gone up that much in six months is is pretty crazy um but i
think that's one of the more extreme examples but as you guys can see it's it's also these
farmers are also having restrictions with how many employees they can have on their testing and all
that uh propaganda that they're putting out there but uh besides the point uh the numbers don't lie
uh there's a lot of youtube videos out there on inflation talking about how
things are going up but i have found that not many people have actually put the numbers down
and let people know what the actual amounts are and that's what we wanted to provide to
everyone today yeah that's right thanks for tuning in guys thanks a lot take care
