In a similar vein of many recent posts, this one is about where have you seen price rises already?
uber has changed pricing recently
Reece has increased prices of some PVC building materials.
Australia post increased its fuel levy for deliveries.
Have you seen any fuel surcharges or price increases where you work, if so what % are we talking about?
I’m keen to know how bad inflation is gonna get given the fuel crisis.
what have we seen that has stayed flat or gone down?
Libidos
Nearly everything I buy hasn’t gone up in price….yet.
Toilet paper even went down in price if you check ozb recently.
gestures vaguely at everything
Sounds like nothing at all…
You’ve see what he’s wearing?
Maybe it’s time to make that alarm?
Hungry Jacks medium Coffee on the app used to be $2 then went to $2.50 now it is $2.75
Ouch
Escort service went from $450 to $550 for 2hrs.
How much for 1 min 30
No need to boast….
April 1st special of $420.69
Are you taking them to dinner? The point of escorts is you don't need to.
dinner
2 hour
Drive through Maccas?
Someones living it up having 2 hour dinners.
Escort service
Ford Escort are now rare so servicing is slightly more specialized and expensive.
2 hours? What do you do with the remaining 1 hour 58 minutes? Argue about the price increase?
If you abstain for 1 month you get better value for money, you have a spare 1 hour and 59minutes
uber has changed pricing recently
can't wait till waymo finally launches here and hopefully makes uber and taxis obsolete
I'd feel waymo safe if they didn't.
makes uber and taxis obsolete
This is like bringing in the Cane Toads.
These bloody things are everywhere! They're in the lift, in the lorry, in the bondwizard, and all over the melonga gilderchuck!
Bloody chazwazzers
There’s nothing wrong with the bidet is there?
@Gunnar: The very same. Just one of his many part-time jobs. He was also a superb bouncer at the Maison Derrière.
I'm not about to let some robot tell me where to go. No thank you, I'll stick to regular old driving and Waze.
Never!

You'd be naive to think Uber isn't investing heavily in autonomous driving.
I think they will partner with Waymo\tesla\whoever wins. They were doing testing but killed a pedestrian in 2018. The human backup wasn't concentrating
Uber sold off their self-driving car division years ago after one of their cars killed someone. It stopped the bleeding of money the old guard were running and they're now a profitable company.
Uber has no need to make an autonomous car - they have the existing app infrastructure and that's their business. They will just need to quickly pivot to autonomous cars when they come along.But it's like the landscape right now, there are cheaper rideshare apps, there are apps that are better for drivers, but people still just use uber.
Which rideshare apps are cheaper? I thought it was all about even these days.
"lately"?
As in the last 5-10 years or the last few weeks?
Never mind, the answer will be the same regardless, it's only the speed that would be different.
Since 1st March
Hookers
NRL teams are reliant on their service.
As are CFMEU workers when the strippers are paid for by Victorian tax payers…
Thank you for your service.
Lol. FFS
Finally Feeling Skint?

yawn, time for some new material.
FFS. Lol ??
Every time I open my eyes.
Stop blinking 😭
time for spec savers
Ironic coming from you 😂
Goes to show how poor your vision is
Looked at any pie charts lately?
They all look like venn diagrams.

Uh oh.
At the party counter at my local Big W
The extra small ribbed banana flavoured condoms i usually get are a bit more expensive now
It's shrinkflation you gotta worry about with those. When the size gets smaller and the price gets bigger and you don't notice…
Or so I've heard anyway.
Actually works in my favour as even the extra small's are a bit too big for me
Do you understand how inflation works at all?
Do you understand how inflation works at all?
Inflation is caused by two primary factors:
Monetary Expansion: An increase in the supply of money, primarily driven by commercial banks issuing loans. This process involves creating new money out of nothing, which leads to inflation across all goods and services because there is more money chasing the same amount of goods and services.
Demand-Pull Inflation: An increase in demand for goods and services. In particular when the population grows and consequently demand for most goods and services increases.
Thanks ChatGPT.
This was my own work :( I feel insulted
I'd love the mechanics take on it
Prices went up for bunnings at least for some of the heavier bulk items i was looking at grabbing.
My Ozbargain premium has gone up from $4.99 to $9.99
At the Costco Tyre Centre
Was scrolling for this reply.

Tradies.
Had a guy about to start a small $5,000 landscaping job. Contacted me to tell me that due to the fuel issue his price has gone up by 20% if I want to proceed
ared
How much driving was he going to do? $1000 worth?!
Did you tell him he's dreamin'?
He could be using a digger or other heavy machinery, which are heavy diesel users.
I meant $1000 extra.
Diesel was about $1.80/L a month ago and is $3.20/L now.
If the $1000 extra is just for fuel that implies the original bill included about $1300 for fuel which a month ago would have bought 722 litres of diesel.
A small backhoe for small landscaping jobs burns through between 2 and 6 litres of diesel per hour depending if it's light digging or heavy digging with a larger mini-excavator.
Assuming heavy digging, that implies the landscaper was going to be doing 120 hours of digging, or 15 days of continuous excavator work. Doesn't sound plausible for a "small landscaping job".
wrong,
tradies are opportunists, hes grifting you
Well there was this women at my office and… Never mind I just realized that's a totally different type of inflation.
No, as far as I'm aware no prices have changed in the last 5 years.
If people spend less money on little luxuries it ultimately means less work for me because it leads to B2B belt tightening, though it should really mean more work for me because they should be marketing even more intelligently and aggressively to make up for people spending less.
My belt is feeling the strain of inflation
no space for new holes
Eventually you won't need a belt.
I think you are asking a bit too early.
apparently the oil situash is going to affect everything because everything is moved in fuel powered ships, trains and trucks. also almost everything is wrapped in plastic <-made from oils.
Filled diesel in my car on 1st March - $1.89 per l, today it's $3.30 per l.

I track inflation through chocolate prices because I have a sweet tooth, but $8 for a Cadbury block is just ridiculous.
Didn't they also reduce the size of the blocks?
reduce the size of the block
Yes, it is now in Mount Eliza.
Considerably smaller than in Daylesford.
my 1 cent choc bud is now 1.1 cent
but
I purchased an airline today, was cheap than last week, only 1.1bn, deflation more
Flights.
of stairs…
No, Dan.
The most obvious inflation of late are:
a) fuel
b) health insurance
Food is also constantly increasing by more than CPI.
a) Bulla ice-cream 2l (on special in both cases): $3.75 (2020) -> $6.00 (2025) - 60% increase over 5 years (inflation of 12%)
b) Weetbix 1.2kg (regular price both cases): $5 (2022) -> $7 (2026) - 40% increase over 4 years (inflation of 10%)
Rent is another obvious example. Real CPI, to nobody's surprise I'm sure, is way in excess of what the Bureau of Sadistics publishes.
I'm sure we can all give more (extreme) examples.
Coles $9.90/kg for tomatoes
Inflation is in the room with me right now !
Everywhere, but people still keep buying crap like expensive cars, expensive video cards with Jensen frames and other shit like no tomorrow.
No wonder inflation is up
Not sure even 20% interest rate would solve the situation
There’s just too much random cash tossed around like salad.

More and more boomers are retiring and accessing Super. More and more people are being imported. It's a double whammy. Inflation should be expected.
Haven't really noticed personally. Beyond petrol price changes which isn't inflation most of the stuff I buy has been the same for the last year or two.
People treat it like it's some massive obvious change but it really isn't.
Of all the redundant posts on here, this one is high up on the list of utterly redundant ones smh

Would you say the number of redundant posts has inflated?
Connoisseur ice cream at Woolworths. It just continues to go up and up in price. With the fake 'sale' price every couple of weeks. I thought $12 was a rip off but now it is nudging close to $14 full price.
man… what kind of question is this?
Inflation is everywhere. Coffee up 10%, basic essentials up. You're looking for a list? streaming costs up, energy up, phone bill up, meat in markets up.
Why don't you flip the question around and ask what have we seen that has stayed flat or gone down?
