I went grocery shopping today and was struck by a couple of items which had not just gone up but had nearly doubled in price.
The first was butter. It was so high that I bought margarine for maybe the first time in years. Also all brands of bacon were way up. I didn’t notice too many other things but the reason those caught my attention was the amount of increase. Oh, and milk also had gone up but not as much.
Yah, butter was a bit of a surprise. I thought I could ride-out the coffee spike, but it looks like I’m on the wrong end. I’ll be stopping-by Wal-Mart tomorrow to see if it still has the Maxwell House in stock at the price I saw last week.
