You might work for a living, but you sure don’t shop smart! :)
(That’s my full-time job)
I’m like a geek about monitoring grocery prices Marie. It’s like a freaking pass time for me. I swear. Prices are up and going up. There was a period of deflation (back around 2007 I think it was) when butter was $2lb. It’s $3.50 now. Milk was $1.88/gal at the same time. it’s approaching $3/gal now. I earn more money now than I ever have but I feel no richer really. That’s stagflation. I think we have stagflation for a number of reasons and I’m not yet convinced that 999 truly addresses those problems. I think it’s more likely that it exacerbates them. As a conservative, I have been railing for decreased government spending and decreased taxes. I don’t remember ever yelling for a new federal sales tax.
