And today’s offering…

Things Being Affected by Inflation that I WILL NOT Stand For

Forget gas prices. These are the important things severely compromising my way of life.

1. Chipotle Burrito Bowls
Anyone that knows me knows I love me some Chipotle. I could literally eat it everyday if it weren’t pretty much guaranteed that I would be on Maury getting cut out of my house right after it was determined that the twins WERE in fact TayQwan’s. (I’m just playin‘. Yall know I ain’t having no babies.) But real talk, I recognize gas prices are high and everything, but be not deceived Saint Guadalupe of the Chipotle*, you WILL NOT play me on the black beans and meat and give me a bowl of white rice that’s going to stick right to my ass despite regular Pilates. Now serve my shit right before I jump over the salsas and hurt yo

2. Orange Juice
Can anyone explain to me my OJ is $15 a gallon? PLEASE?!?! Wtf? This ain’t even like gas that we have to import. The oranges are right here in the good ol‘ US of Asses. I am even right smack in the middle of the two biggest states that produce OJ (Florida and Cali). Why on EARTH is juice more than a fill in?!

3. Weave.
Granted, it’s been a minute since I actually wore some weave in my head since most days it does good to be clean, let alone styled, but I’m saying. A pack of wet and wavy SHOULD NOT cost my girl $80.

4. Organic Food
Granted, buying organic always was alot more expensive but it has never been this bad. Why is Whole Foods charging a cover just to get in that hoe? And why did I get some organic okra the other day that was like $10? It’s OKRA, yo. Do anybody even eat that shit but me? lol

5. Cable.
I haven’t had cable in quite some time and it has been the bane of my existence. How on earth do you expect me to live without Kimora and Niecey universe?! But alas, I have had some solace in the fact that I have an extensive collection of dvds as well as I can get my tv to still pick up ABC on Thursdays so I can see Grey’s. But now you mean to tell me that unless I get cable essentially once you convert to a digital signal that’s it for me? I am stuck trying to huddle over my computer at work and watch my Grey’s Anatomy on the clock? No sir. I will not stand for it. The revolution better be televised goddammit!

That is all. I am simply too sad to go on. I know you have a few though. What are the other ways that inflation is fucking up the floacism of your life?

And tomorrow’s list…

More Ways I Know You’re Gay

the sequel to this list.

But the transportation costs of delivering it to you and the price of keeping it on the safe side have increased a bit!I been drinking Rolling Rock for a few years now and don’t sweat the cost of Heineken.Now I almost fell the hell over dead at Kraft shredded cheese going for $4.19 for an 8-ounce bag!! The fact that they were buy two get one free didn’t make me feel any better!

And everything in nyc is dumb expensive to begin with and then you wanna add inflation on top of that? No ma’am and no sir.@X bwahahahaha! you and that damn sweet tea.

No that is NOT Bob’s middle name… but NOW it is, lol@Ladylee girl you set something off up in here with the rice, lol.

  22. I’m with Joy. Cherries are too high. The $6/lb cherries ALMOST make me just want to go and live off of bootleg ramen noodles (and you know they have increased from the 10 cents a pack, lol).I hate the fact that rice prices MORE than doubled in these parts. Goodness.

However, you might be the only balla who can buy that shit organic.5. **drool** Kimora… **drool** Sorry, I’m back.My take on inflation that I simply will NOT tolerate? The motherfuckin $1.00 sweet tea at McDonalds that jumps to $1.79 if you dare to ask them to serve it to you with light ice. THE FUCK? I’m sorry, kind sir… did you just charge me an extra $0.79 for the other 15 ounces of sweet tea that I am supposesd to be paying $1.00 for? MA’AM.
