i dont think its quite here yet. but here in about five or six months, i think it will be, if what the stocks are showing is correct. what you have to understand is that its only recession, not a depression. some get the two confused, and then panic.

From what I've seen in the grocery stores and supermarts, prices are consistently rising and it's costing alot more to do the usual shopping trips. I'd say we're already in the recession, just everyone isn't affected quite yet.

yeah, but they usually hold back in times like these. Although, I have nothing to back that up. Who knows. I hope we can pull out of this.

We are seeing the same thing here in Atlanta regarding the food prices going up.

Gonna start shopping at Aldi

If the fed keeps cutting the rates the prices are really gonna start to rise due to inflation if they do keep lowering hang onto your hat!!!
