Inflation Watch -- March 17, 2024

Locator: 46791INFLATION.

See my rambling notes of today, here.

Now, an update.

A member of the extended family bought a new pickup truck this weekend.

They've been looking for a new pickup truck for two years. The truck they signed for today was less expensive than two years ago, and even less expensive than last year. The sticker price was in their ballpark but they bargained ... got it for less, as long as they signed today. And they did. 

The monthly payment is "pennies" higher than what they had hoped for. 

Prices are coming down and deals are willing to bargain.

It's hard to believe but it sounds like the monthly payment is 75% of what they had hoped their best deal would have been.

Wendy's: with the app, $1 hamburgers. I bike everywhere and often need to stop to fuel. My go-to is McDonald's. With this promotion, $1-hamburgers, will try Wendy's sometime this week (maybe) -- I haven't been at a Wendy's in years, maybe even in decades.
