Well, I just made one of my infrequent trips to the grocery store (needed cinnamon and more sugar for applesauce - yes I have my stash which I will use and replace it with what I bought).

WOW prices have really jumped in the last 6 or 7 weeks. Particularly the produce and meat prices!

I couldn’t resist going through all the fresh items - things like tomatoes @ 1.89/lb., butternut squash @ $1.79/lb., potatoes @ $3.29/5 lb. bag, steaks and roasts start @3.79 and go up to $9.89/lb. ground beef @$2.49/lb (for 70/30).... UNBELIEVABLE!

Tell me about it! I really know my prices and focus my shopping at those shops that save me the dinero! Costs have just skyrocketed in the past few months... "No inflation here!" according to the messiah's folks, Oh Yeah? Tell that to my billfold!

Even the warehouse outfits like Sam's Club, and Costco have pinched my wallet... I am buying in bulk on everything I snag, makes no difference in this economy!

"Since I would become a casualty if I stood all day in DC, I am going on a stealth mission to try to corner our Congressman (publicly)... He ALWAYS goes to the Nanticoke Indian POWOW. My plan is to collar him there! Message ready!

Didn't know you were Tribal DW! Or do you mean that that is where you know you can bushwack him? LOL! BTW, the Tribe here is sure cutting back on their expenditures... the casino is doing well... yet they are really tightening up the belt! Giving them credit for the foresight!

Tell me about it.

No food is grown here, it is all shipped in, so our prices are already super high.

It is all so scary and going to get even more so.

I heard the Las Vegas Police dispatcher send an officer to a home in vegas last night, she said “The child said she couldn’t go to school, for they had no food at home, she missed 4 of the last 5 days of school”.

At least the Officer will know how to get help, for they went at once.

The one thing the Las Vegas Police does best, is to act at once, when a child is involved. The copter is up and the dogs out, if one is late from school.
