Costco paper towels. Same price as the previous several times buying them. Now with 20 fewer sheets. 140/160= .875 Inflation rate: 8.75%

Find the old rolls in store with 160 sheets and it’s effectively like buying the new sheets at 8.75% off!

I can remember when coffee was in 3-lb (48oz) cans.

Now, 27oz or thereabouts seems the most common size.

[[Less is more]]

That’s what the liberals in government are selling the duped low info folks- less in your pockets is more. Less driving is more- less hours working is more- less etc etc etc

I saw that, but I didn’t want to try to explain it.

Must have been a while back. In 2012 we stuck 3 cases in the moving truck since our new state had no Costco. They were $14.99 or a nice round 50 cents a roll. So 30 rolls nearly 20 years ago. I think a case is 16.99 now.

I have always wondered why Okocim comes in 16.9-ounce bottles.

Dang, we might be related somehow,
My mom did this for a cheap pizza night in the 70’s. Almost the same recipe. Always with the 6” flour tortillas.

Messican pizza night. She made a couple of dozen to feed us.

Noticed at WM the Kraft caramels went from $1.98 to $2.10 and is 2-3 ounces less than when I bought some around Christmas time.

They haven’t had the Great Value canned corned beef for at least 2-3 months. I check every time I am there. I was there today and in the few days since my last visit it went from $2.98 to $3.20. But still no cans on the shelf.

A few weeks ago I was going to buy a half gallon of OJ. Except they are no longer a half gallon. They are about 12 ounces less but the price is the same or might be more. Good thing the one with pulp I wanted was too far back for me to reach or I might not have noticed.

Another thing to watch for is when WM moves where items are on the shelves. They often raise the prices of at least a few items.

Not my mom! My mom was a mediocre cook at best, in general, but golly, she made great pizza from scratch; Crust & sauce both. Best pizza I ever had, and not just because it was my mom.
