IMO, inflation has already started. If the U.S. currency is no longer used as the world reserve currency - as the World Bank and United Nations plans to change - it will be the end of "hobby" quilting for most of us retired people on fixed income. For me, it will mean recycling fabric from clothes to sew more clothes. (I can do that!) Sale coupons won't even be an issue. The next 2 years will be interesting and challenging. Hang on for the ride.
