Even our local newspaper has shrunk twice in the past 15 years!! Not only in size, but page numbers and content!
They've been giving us less for a higher price for some time, now!
Then there's insane inflation. A 20 oz. bottle of root beer in the vending machine at work is at least $1.50!! In the meantime, I can but a 2 LITER bottle of the same thing at wally world for $1.00!! A candy bar I got for 10 cents when they first came out with them in the `70's is now $1.89!!
I'll bet NO ONE that was born in the `80's or later has ever even HEARD of a penny candy store!!
And, remember when wally world first started (as far as I now) back in the late `80's and all their t.v. ads touted rolling back prices every day? So, why is it that about a year ago, I could get a 2 liter bottle of root beer for about 75 cents, then it went up to 88, then 96, then a dollar, then $1.25, that's not what I call rolling back prices!! After a few weeks of my refusing to buy it at $1.25, they brought it back down to $1.00.
