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.
Great examples, but you realize that sugar is a commodity? And cane sugar is better than beet sugar. So, any other commodities you want us to overpay for?

What about the candy manufacturers in Chicago that moved to Canada? Probably a couple of thousand workers lost their jobs. Why don't we double the current price of sugar? It won't affect you.
