We pay the same or less than we did 10 years ago, thanks to the Aldi, Costco, and Winco that opened within a few miles of our home. Assuming those were 1970 prices, we pay 68¢ for eggs (only 8¢ more!), $1.29 for wheat bread, but $3.39 for bacon. We stock up on sales like 39¢/# apples ($1/# 10 years ago), and $1/# pork loin special at Costco.

We used to do all our grocery shopping at Walmart, but they are now high.

For the past couple of years I have noticed that when they raised prices, it was in 5c and 10c increments. Since last year, they don't raise prices often, but when they do, it's in 30c or more increments, no matter the base price.

A year ago, a two-pound tub of their cole slaw was $2.78, of a sudden it went to $3.48 and yesterday it was $3.78. Tuna fish can sizes now resemble those of cat food. Some toilet paper rolls have shrunk an inch or more in width and two-ply is closer to 1 1/2 ply.
