No problem. Just pass a law mandating that the supermarkets have to keep their shelves full. [/s]

Since this is about prices, I’ll tell you about one little trick I saw at Walmart. Won’t mmention the item, but to say I paid $1.64 for it. On the shelf it was marked down from about $2.64. Truth of the matter was that I used to pay(possibly a year ago) $1.00. I guess they were trying to make you think you were getting a bargain instead of a shafting & didn’t figure anybody kept track of past prices. Now, I have to wonder if they were also doing this on other items. This is the first time I had noticed this little deviation.
