The government has ruined our dollar by borrowing and spending. As long as I am paying close to $4 a gallon for gas, I won’t be buying anything but absolute essentials.
I plan on buying less stuff from McDonalds, Pepsi, GF, etc, as I move toward heavy discount stores or do without.
Dollar stores and “broken food” grocery outlets are those that could do well, I suspect, though dollar stores are impacted by fuel costs more, since their model makes it hard to pass along expenses.
Also, Ross Stores has an incredibly diverse chain now, at many levels of discount under multiple brands.
The minimum wages just went up in California the first of the year, and now it’s all for naught. Sometimes I think these things are planned well in advance.
Quick, what’s the primary reason food costs are soaring?
Invest in Hillary’s ass. That’s one damned thing that grows every day!
