Everything has zoomed up in price everywhere. First we had the pandemic; now we pay for the pandemic.

@Beaches 1956

Since I've retired, sadly many of the brands here that I loved have priced themselves out of my 'comfortable' range, other that watching for clearance prices, special pricing and free shipping events.

Sigh....but that's how it is, prices go up, services go up, even if I'm not making what I did when I worked, LOL!

Nothing in life stands still, it's always evolving, sometimes for the better.....sometimes not.

It’s one of my favorite QVC brands. I haven’t noticed the prices skyrocketing.

Like anything else. Quality is poor and I received so many defective items I stopped buying them.

Manufacturers could be raising their prices, knowing that companies are extremely very dependent on them during this time.

Complete dependence isn't a good thing, imo.

'Nowhere (else) to go'. 'No way out'. Etc., etc.

@Kachina624 I was kinda worried about my property tax, since my house is now "worth" more than anyone in their right mind would pay for it. Got my bill today, and the tax is the same as previous years. Whew...... di

@Desertdi I've had that though too as house prices have escalated so much and my tax did go up.

During the pandemic, the school board decided they wanted a new playground for the kids, so they borrowed $5 million dollars, of course, behind taxpayers backs.

So, yes my taxes were raised, too, to pay for it. Residents are furious because of Covid job loss, the current playground is nice, and they had no say in the decision.

Too bad COVID was allowed to get such a head start, back in 2020.

Managed better perhaps there would would have been less life and job loss.

What hasn't gone up in price? The two Anybody tops I have still look nice. They haven't faded through several washings and held their shape.

Some states (maybe all?) allow an owner to challenge a rise in value with regard to property taxes, especially if it may be more the land that's increased and there have been no home improvements. Depending on specific circumstances, of course.

i did this once years ago. I'm in California. I remember it had to be done before the payment due date.

@GingerPeach @Kachina624 It's a HUGE process to challenge real estate tax in Maricopa County, AZ.....and it would be in your best interest to hire a real estate lawyer. I personally would think that's throwing good money after bad...... di

@Desertdi That's too bad about Maricopa County. Mine was just filling out a simple form and getting it in on time. I just checked and it's pretty much the same still where I live.

Here's hoping your taxes won't jump much more.

I know it's infuriating but at least it's for a public school, correct?

Try this on for size: the good citizens of Miami-Dade County, Florida paid for a PRIVATELY owned stadium!!

One of our very wealthy citizens sued the county but he unfortunately lost

@GingerPeach

My boss owns a lot of real estate so he regularly uses a company that that's all they do is get your taxes reevaluated. Their fee is a percentage of your savings.

I get my property tax in Oct. but, in Tx or my part of Tx they freeze your property tax when you turn 65. So , my younger neighbors who have less then me pay more then me. Little bit smaller house and only one acre.
