The only reason food prices have remained the same or fallen around me is that the sizes have all shrunk!

Boy, did you ever get that right!
Wife was looking at creamed cheese - She said ‘Look this one is 10¢ cheaper than that one.’ I checked and they had gone from 16 ounces to 12 ounces (25% reduction in size) and price was down 3%.
Then I was looking at a Gov’t Cost of Living report - Down at the bottom was this:
Purchasing power of the consumer dollar
(1982-84=$1.00) $ .469
(1967=$1.00) $ .157
Shortly we will be taking wheelbarrows full to the market for a loaf of bread... (Hmmm, where have I heard that before?)
