This is a follow-up to the thread on recession. I personally haven't seen much evidence of a recession (except for the bottom falling out on my stock market balances). But what I have seen is major signs of inflation.

I do my grocery shopping at Target, and just in the last week, prices have skyrocketed. We're talking roughly 10-15% price increases. Market Pantry chips that I often buy went from $1.02 to $1.79! Our local mass transit is instituting another 10% fare increase. And I see more places are charging an extra "energy surcharge". Even our preschool is in on that now.

Anyone else feeling the pinch?
