i'm gonna have to cut down on the caviar. maybe switch from moet to cava. hard times.How close will it get this winter? Will you be sat shivering too scared to turn the gas on?
if you're comfortably off then yes, but if you were already using all your money every month, then you can't just keep buying the same shit when it gets more expensive.Inflation doesn't cause people to sell pets, they cause people to live as they did until now because the specific product they're looking for is still out there, much expensive but still
I'm right below you ( in Michigan ) and my neighbor just installed one. Only problem is that his Homeowners insurance rate tripled. So he will just be giving the money to his agent instead of the utility company. I asked him why he went that route as it's the # 1 reason behind house fires in the Winter and he told me his furnace took a shit and so he would have no heat this season. I guess he priced a furnace ( $2200 ) and he may have gotten the wood stove off of a buddy or something but he isn't factoring in how much a cord of wood has gone up in the last 2 years. I love the ambiance and smell of a wood stove but with the cost to insure my home and the price of wood I went ahead 3 years ago and just bought a new furnace. On a payment plan. Just thought I'd throw that out there. But if I could procure cheap firewood and my insurance would have stayed the same I would have gone with a wood stove too.I'm in Canada but I read that in the uk energy was going up by 80%. I hope I read wrong.
Ours goes up November but don't know how much.
I'm thinking of installing a wood stove.
House insurance is the drawback. I have a truck and could get my own wood for the season all through out the summer.I'm right below you ( in Michigan ) and my neighbor just installed one.

I watch many of those Alaska and Canadian nature channels where people homestead and gather everything. One family of 5 can eat off a large moose for a year or so. We are getting more and more hunters here too as the cost of meat is ridiculous and also the enjoyment of eating what you process yourself and the enjoyment of the hunt itself. I have reduced my intake of meat considerably. I buy only ground meat now as you can make 20 different dishes with ground beef and the occasional whole chicken. The rest is potatoes, pasta, rice veggies and fruit. I feel better as well. My digestive system is spot on and it wasn't always that way.I switched to vegetarian for moral and financial reasons. $30 for 2 steaks is crazy. I applied for a moose license so I don't mind eating meat that was hunted. I just can't do the factory farm animals. Breaks my heart.
Bad idea IME. The brakes hardly ever work when you need them to and the steering is just awful.I applied for a moose license
It's just as simplistic to blame it on the pandemic. Other countries, notably in Asia, have suffered the same pandemic while imposing more comprehensive restrictions and aren't having these kind of problems. Meanwhile continental European countries aren't seeing anywhere near the kind of price hikes we are dealing with in the UK.It's very easy and simplistic to blame this on the proxy war in Ukraine; when in actuallity this is born or manufactured out of the shambles that utterly stupid covid rules thrust most of the so called "western" world into

Well, I have lived in Asia before, during and after covid, and I come from an EU country where very similar energy hikes are taking place and its not so different in many parts of continental Europe, so I could also assert that it's too simplistic to blame it on the British exit of the European unionIt's just as simplistic to blame it on the pandemic. Other countries, notably in Asia, have suffered the same pandemic while imposing more comprehensive restrictions and aren't having these kind of problems.

If you want a better explanation of why it's so much worse here, try the insanity of deliberately cutting yourself off from the huge trading block (and closest trading partner) right next door, thus saddling the economy with enormous extra cost while prompting a large percentage of the workforce to leave.
