You apparently have no problem with the fact that we pay 2 to 3 times the world price for sugar. Anything else we should pay more for in order to make you happy?
Well, the sugar price never affected me. Sometimes paying the lowest prices ain't the answer, as Mom says, "you get what you pay for." Take TV's for example, they are cheaper not but don't last as long. The last TV we bought was in 1983, our 1982 Zenith for $650 or so and it's been used daily to this day. 23+ years for a TV, that's a bargain in the long run. My aunt had a 1962 color RCA that she used until the early 1990's, had a round screen (I love those TV's, "roundies" have class) too. I have a 1970 Zenith, our first color TV, I plan to bring back to life and use as my TV but that's for another time.
