But I don't think it is related to Covid relief checks here. Also, the Sonic here has done so well $$$-wise during the pandemic. They've had record sales since last March that only slowed down in the last few of months when sit down places opened up to more business.

popmom Posted May 20, 2021 Share Posted May 20, 2021 (edited) Store hours! I went to our most upscale/busy shopping center this evening because I wanted to check Athleta and Ann Taylor for a couple of items before our vacation. I arrived at 7:20. Everything closes at 7pm now. Color me clueless. This was my first visit to a clothing retailer since before the pandemic began. Belk (major department store) is still open til 9. Not sure about Saks. Steel and copper (for construction and plumbing) are hard to get in my area. Easy set above ground pools and all associated accessories—mostly upgraded filter pumps and saltwater systems. Those wanting to repair or replace decks should consider composite decking. It’s now cheaper than pine.

Stinkbugs can hurt your plants, on top of being super annoying inside. The Brown Marmorated variety are an invasive species, so no natural predators to keep them in check.

The type we wanted was constantly out of stock. I built a raised garden bed out of cinder blocks cheaper than lumber. As a bonus though, it'll last a lot longer.

Storygirl Posted May 23, 2021 Share Posted May 23, 2021 Sanitation workers are evidently in short supply right now, for some reason. Maybe some have found alternate jobs, now that there are many businesses hiring? Our garbage pick up has been delayed over the past couple of weeks; the bins sit by the street for an extra day or two and aren't being picked up on the assigned day. I saw a bit on the news saying this is a problem in surrounding communities, as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty sure it's a nationwide switch between winter and summer blends. Gas prices always go up in the spring, partially because of that switch and partially because of (in normal times) more summer driving. Also, I believe they take the refineries offline for maintenance before the switch. So that means a temporarily shorter supply, which adds to price increases. Add in a hack on top of all of that . . . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carrie12345 Posted May 24, 2021 Share Posted May 24, 2021 On wood - our builder is not offering back decks, which we did know in advance. But we did ask if we could get “steps to grade” off our sliding glass door, instead of the “Juliette rail” they have (which basically renders the door useless.). We were told it would be nearly as expensive as a 10x10 deck to build stairs to code, so they won’t do it. (Now I’m trying to research building Trex stairs, but can’t find my local building codes to be sure of what we will need.) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Timothy hay I ordered has quadupled in price in 3 weeks. I hope it comes down before we need more. We started keeping guinea pigs. It has taken us almost a year to get all 4 guinea pigs. We got the first one in October . Started looking in July. Got the last one for Mother's Day. Ya'll have me thinking I need to stock up on dog food. We bought 2 used cars last month with plenty of choices. Gas is about the usual price. I just bought paint without a problem. It seems like everyone else had the same idea to fix up the backyard this summer. I guess I'll wait until fall, since it'll be too hot to use it anyway. We got our storage bed this weekend, slept on it for the first time last night ( plus two naps).

I used to buy all kinds of fresh produce - esp in the summer! But the prices are just nuts. Easily double or triple this time last year. We tend to eat simple but with lots of flavor.

We've been babying the upstairs AC, but it is just done! It is like an oven on the 2nd floor (main bedrooms and bathrooms) and even worse on the 3rd floor (our school area). Anyway, it will be August 18th when all the parts will be in. No AC upstairs for a month 😭! It has been ok the past couple of days, but last week and Saturday it was "feels like" 108 degrees. I am sleeping on an inflatable mattress in my living room where there is AC 😁. My desktop and the boys' desktops are now in the kitchen.

Regarding summer of '22--I'm seeing this mostly on the Alabama Gulf coast and Florida panhandle beaches. But I'm also seeing it in other beach communities in the short term. I have a friend coming to visit me in August from TX. She and I were thinking of driving down to the beach for a few days. In the past late Aug and Sept had lots of availibity and low prices. Not so this year. We can find a place to stay, but the prices aren't much lower than peak season. Normally, after mid August, prices drop anywhere from 30-50% of peak rates. This year Sept is maybe 10-20% lower than peak, and many properties I've looked at are booked well into October. Supply and demand at work. I'm adding my specific example. We stayed at this little cottage about a block off the beach on Anna Maria Island in May--which is off season there. Our cottage was $1800 all in--taxes fees and all for 7 nights. I just checked the rate for May of '22. $4400 all in. https://www.annamariaparadise.com/anna-maria-island-rentals/angelfish#rcav={"rcav"%3A{"begin"%3A"05%2F21%2F2022"%2C"end"%3A"05%2F28%2F2022"%2C"adult"%3A1%2C"child"%3A0%2C"eid"%3A"210"}} Edited July 21, 2021 by popmom 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lewelma Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 What is hard to find here is housing! We had 500,000 kiwis move back to escape covid in a population of 4.5 million (now 5 million). That is a massive percentage influx and we don't have the housing. People are living in their cars, tents, doubling up families in housing. We have a friend who has 9 people now in a 3 bedroom house because they took their sister's family in. There are no apartments for rent, and no houses to buy that are even slightly affordable. The cost of buying a house in my area has increased by 35% in ONE year. https://www.newshub.co.nz/home/money/2021/06/housing-crisis-prices-going-up-fastest-since-records-began.html 3 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
