INFLATION

[pkveazey]

DAYUM!!! Last year I bought a Cub Cadet Zero turn mower from Tractor Supply for $2,600. Today I went to Tractor Supply to buy a new pair of Blades for it and they cost me $59. While I was there, I checked the price of the same mower that I bought last year and it was $1,000 higher than last year. I'm thinking that we are not in INFLATION but have moved right into HYPER-INFLATION. Lawnmower blades used to cost me $11 each. I guess I'll have to sharpen the new ones to a razors edge and make sure that I don't hit any sticks or rocks while mowing. This crap is starting to get real.

I bought a John Deere  in July of 20 at the local Home Depot.   $1800 out the door.  I need blades and likely a battery soon.  I knew dammitol I should have got the blades this time last year.

It was called a 105 back then.  The closest specs thing now is S-120 and is prices at $2699.

Should have got those spare blades when I bought the mower.
