• 0:50
  Speaker 1: We both got the patifl a right, the Patifila Ladies
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: and Gentlemen was seventy one dollars and I think the
• 0:57
  Speaker 1: twelve ounce was near like ninety.
• 0:59
  Speaker 2: So yeah, and then you've got to get all the sides.
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: I'll talk about this whole break.
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: I noticed.
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: I know I was early on the first one.
• 1:06
  Speaker 2: Plus he just outed us like that broke the bank
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: right there. So steak concert tickets which have just like
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: out of control, I mean they're.
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: Hard to get. Number one, he rease all the scammers
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: out there.
• 1:17
  Speaker 2: Then you have to go to the secondary market and
• 1:18
  Speaker 2: it's and it's crazy beer, wine or liquor at a restaurant. Yeah,
• 1:23
  Speaker 2: we do this a lot too, like, well we'll have
• 1:25
  Speaker 2: something when we get home.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: But no matter how expensive I get, I still will
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: order my one you want.
• 1:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Eric usually does one one fast food.
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: Yeah overall, yep, overall.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: And I'm seeing that with kids, you know, I'm hitting
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: at McDonald's more of these days with Naomi and Miles.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: And the prices, I mean, I could, like a whole
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: meal for a family of four could be like twenty
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: five thirty bucks.
• 1:46
  Speaker 2: It's changed a lot, new cars and even used cars
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: which are twice the price they were eight years ago.
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: Twice the price.
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: That has nothing to do with like terraffs or anything.
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: I think this is a pandemic kind of stuff. Remember
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: during the pandemic, you couldn't get a used car like
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: that was gold, right.
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: They were like parts, they couldn't find parts, and yeah, it.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: Was all that good times. Movie tickets, movie tickets, Yep,
• 2:10
  Speaker 2: it's such a good experience though, insurance where in some
• 2:13
  Speaker 2: cases you don't have a choice but to get it,
• 2:16
  Speaker 2: but if you can avoid it, people are avoiding insurance magazines.
• 2:19
  Speaker 2: I haven't thought about spending money on a magazine in ages,
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: even if it looks interesting. While I'm in line at
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: the supermarket. Manicures and pedicures.
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: Well, you told me your pedicure. No, you're manicure. You've
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: got a couple of days ago. I asked you about it,
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: and you told me. Can I tell people what you said? Okay,
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: twenty one dollars? Yes to me, that's a good deal.
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: Is it high? That's high? That's high.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: That's high. You keep outing me this morning, covey.
• 2:45
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: And so the thing is I don't go as often
• 2:48
  Speaker 2: as I used to. And then I got scolded by
• 2:51
  Speaker 2: the lady doing the manicure because I had let the
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: old polish sit there for two weeks and apparently that
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: turns your nails yellow, and she's like, don't do that.
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: So if you can't go for the manipetty. At least
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: just remove the polish.
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: But to me, twenty one bucks nails done in the
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: city is reasonable.
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: But because that's New York City prices, if I go
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: in New Jersey, it could be like twelve to fifteen
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: dollars because I just get plain manicures.
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: Okay, gotcha.
• 3:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, but still I'm not getting them as much as
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: I used to. And also Instacart, door Dash, you know,
• 3:21
  Speaker 2: all those services. I know we had to cut back,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: grub pub, I love them, but they add up. They're
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: so expensive.
• 3:28
  Speaker 1: Give us a text our topic right now at four four,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: three six three. Everyday items at once were very affordable,
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: but now you're kind of cutting out of your life
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: because they're too expensive.
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: Yeah, like steak, Like steak, you're hung up on steak.
• 3:41
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't think I'll cut that out, no matter
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: how expensive it is. Okay, all right,
