My wife’s X5M gets about 15k to 20k on a set and there probably $2500 a set and my Tesla is 2k a set and I get about 30k on them

I never get anything close to the tread life rating on tires. If they are 55-60k tires I'll be lucky to get 35k out of them.

I bought a dozen eggs the other day for $4. There were eggs on the shelf that were double that.

I refuse to buy cereal that is higher than $5...there are some as high as $10 the other day at Whole Foods. But I found some good ones under $5.

Perhaps in the past you didn't worry about prices or pay attention to them...these days, if you do little research, you can make the right economic decision for your situation...

I think this is the real reason. shite I used to not notice is now noticeable. Where are the 4 tires for $99 each deal now days? Hot and spicy McDonald’s is 3.99 now…

Idk if you guys been to a subway recently but some foot longs were $15. I walked out.

I’m not poor I’m not broke but I am a value conscious consumer and have been poor before. If I was in the bottom 80% of America, I’d revolt

Of course you have to save money. You lend out your toilet paper to Kalunda, not his real name.

So working hard excludes you from pointing out issues in society?

Almost every topic you make is some underhanded brag about your monetary status.

I can get a new set Michelins for my truck at Sams and Costco for about $1400 installed.


I got Michelin Crossclimate 2s for my granddaughter, right at $1,000 total from Costco.

The issue isn’t that it’s sudden. The problem is that it’s keep going up. Used cars sell for more than MSRP new, cars are just out of control
