What happened this week is that Target announced that prices for their general crap—knicknacks and less essential things—will be going DOWN, markdowns, as they have too much inventory as people are focusing on food and gas only, the essentials.

So maybe that’s where we’ll be in the coming months. Buying only essentials.

People SHOULD quit buying CRAP...the junk that hits yard sales within a few months.

I’m not an economist, but this is the first post that tangentially touched on something I wonder about—deflation. Seems I’ve heard that deflation is worse than inflation. Anybody have insights on this and how it could (or could not) apply to our futures?
