“I didn’t get a 23% increase in pay.” That my friend was the right answer.

I work at Costco, and my pay has increased 20.8% in the past 8 years. Those groceries were 22.5% more than before. My cost of living has changed only by 1.7% based on my information and your calculations. However, my rent has increased by exactly 50% in 8 years from $1100 to $1650. Now THAT'S the bullshit.

Amazing that the receipt was still readable because a lot of the receipts fade out.

Don't forget there's less food in the packages, quality is worse and cheaper ingredients are used...

@KingFergus hace 1 año

And you're probably not calculating that there's less in the packages..

I dont know if anyone got a 23% raise in the last 8 years except for ceo's and real estate investors.

If that's genuinely the same stuff you bought years ago, that would be a compounded inflation of 2.6% annually. Brilliant advertising for your local Costco!

@ThoughtsOnNews hace 14 días

It would be 50-60% higher doing the exact same test in a supermarket. Costco was a mild increase, comparatively.

@barbjohnson778 hace 1 mes

That puts things in perspective. No pay increase. Nailed it, bro. 😂

@BeautifulGirl735 hace 3 días

Anyone else expecting a bigger increase?

And keep in mind That’s COSTCO price. A literal wholesale market that doesn’t up-charge because they make profit from memberships.

The job I had in 2015 pays LESS now in 2023. ! Yet, the apartment I lived in in 2015 costs 600.00 more a month! Edit: I should specify, I left that company some time ago, but the job I had pays less now than when i had it in 2015. So I was curious to see how much my old apartment was, and it was 1300, I used to pay 700. So jobs pay the same, or even less, almost 10 years later, but rent almost doubled. Just one anecdotal case.

You haven't got that in 44 years. Meanwhile CEO income has gone up 450%. Time for a workers revolution.

@christopherhall5361 hace 23 horas

the fact that you can keep a receipt for 8 years makes you more qualified than anyone in office

@Robert-fp8re hace 8 días

Amazing how you could keep a receipt so pristine for 8yrs on thermal paper considering it fades after 1 year and almost unrecognizable in 2 years

I asked many businesses why prices are going up like they are, strangely I get responses of "wages going up" but I'm not sure whose wages are going up I never hear any of those reports. 🤷‍♂️ Must be like corporate and CEO wages I guess.

2 years ago the costco popcorn box was 9.99. It is now 14.99. That's a 50 percent increase in 2 years. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

The fact that you were able to find every single item that's on that shopping list is very lucky. There are foods that I loved so much that if they were still being sold today I would totally buy them maybe not every time I went to the store but at least every other time to every three times minimum.
