Morning live where I share a real “this is getting ridiculous” moment.
I spent $25 on a Hamilton Beach double breakfast sandwich maker several years ago.. after my McDonald’s breakfast fiasco I decided to share a video of the breakfast maker that I have and how I save money with it. I went to look for the link online and that breakfast maker has increased from $27 to over 50. If everything over the last four years has nearly doubled in price it is no wonder why people are struggling to make ends.
We talked about:
• How fast food / restaurant breakfast costs have nearly doubled in recent years
• The frustration many families are feeling with everyday inflation
• Why cooking simple meals at home (like using my old Hamilton Beach sandwich maker) can save huge money
• The broader picture of fuel prices and supply chain pressure affecting groceries
Defensive Preparedness takeaway:
We fight inflation one smart habit at a time — buying useful kitchen tools, cooking from home, and choosing fresh ingredients over expensive convenience food.
This is how we stay in control instead of letting rising prices control us.
