Unless you've kept itemised receipts for every grocery item you bought two years ago I won't accept that prices have risen. It's all a rightoid conspiracy theory.
Also bills and rent don't count because that'd make me look r-slurred.
Walmart brand shredded cheddar cheese in a two pound bag was around $8.00 two years ago. We just saw it for $17 and change yesterday. We bought a block instead for half that and are shredding it ourselves.
/r/lifeprotips did you know that you can buy ungrated cheese and grate it yourself?

McDonalds is a mega corp so they support republicans so of cpurse they would say that. And even if that is true, they only raised prices to exploit the poor and make republicans look good.
I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet niggas again est. 2016
Hello, welcome to 'I see the poors are pretending to be big wallet gangstas again'
This hole exists as a safe space for refugees from the Facebook(MetaTM groups of the same name. Of which there have been several iterations. We mostly exist to poke fun at the state of living in poverty. While it oftentimes is unavoidable, we do aspire to not be meanspirited. Over the years we have co-opted the term 'Peak Poor' to being someone who exudes poverty, regardless of their actual net worth. Trump and Elon both exhibit the peak poor ethos from time to time while still being the top 0.000001%. You can do something peak poor and still be a good person or a generally adjusted one. We all have a bit of poor in us.
We basically fill a niche similar to fatpeoplehate with a bit less actual malice.
PeakPoor is shotgunning mountain dews at 5 years old.
PeakPoor is not people dying of poverty. While technically the greatest heights of poverty is succumbing to it this is not funny, and is a failure
of capitalism. We do not make fun of poverty to be mean spirited such as that.
Read the room, if it's punching down too hard or really digging into someone whos a sympathetic character it doesn't belong here. (basically READ THE ROOM)

Subscribe to this hole, it's important that we get our numbers up. Love numbers = peak poor
Bonus points for making your post title some variation of peak poor. (Pinnacle of Poverty, Prowess of the Penniless)
I am looking for a mod who will help me grow this place and encourage the facebook community where the majoryity of our members reside
to migrate. Contact me if interested.
I really do love you all so very much, i'm even spending drama coin to get some banners and marseys. thanks for being a part of the community.

I just found a 2lb bag of shredded cheese for 12 dollars lol.
A lot of people like this are just outright lying about the cost of things for some weird reason.
Prices for most food items have remained fairly stable for a few years now.
The staple items (milk, eggs) etc are on rerolving loss leads at most major stores.

If you're buying bulk items at wal mart it never even began for you.
Also when you buy blocks you don't get that anti-caking additive that makes it melt like shit and gives you cancer
