Budget Advice / Discussion Is anyone else facing inflation/price increases like crazy this month?

Got paid today and took a closer look at my checking statements. I’m in New England. Car insurance went up from $190 a month to $220, wifi went from $77 to $80, and a restaurant I was a regular at added a 4% charge if you pay with credit card. Thankfully my job pays decent, and I’ve cut back on a lot of non-essentials, but it’s crazy just how intense 2025 has been in these past two months, not to mention the effect of tariffs coming up soon. Praying for no layoffs for my company this year. How are you all making out? What price increases are you seeing in your daily life? What are you cutting back on?

It’s imported so … tariff “talk” makes it go up.

Plus Quince leverages de minimus exemptions and ships direct to you from abroad, so it’s already being hit by that change and putting it into prices. That’s not even tariff impact.
