[quote=Rich Toscano]That’s just silly SDR… don’t you know that we are at the brink of a deflationary spiral?
BG, I believe you are misunderstanding the point of the post. SDR’s point is that prices of staples and the like have risen substantially. The fact that you use coupons, buy dented cans, etc, to reduce your shopping bill from what it otherwise would have been is not actually germane to the topic of whether prices of staples are rising in general….[/quote]
Rich, I fully understand that prices of food and commodities, gas and everything else a typical household uses has risen substantially in recent years. (For instance, I’ve had pets all of my life and KNOW what pet food/supplies USED to cost.)
All I’m saying is that there is more than one way to “skin a cat” when it comes to groceries. There are several ways to buy/acquire them which does NOT involve “paying retail.”
If one is “hell bent” on paying retail, far be it from me to suggest ways to economize.
I don’t care if you continue to “ignore” me, SDR. Just be prepared to keep opening your wallet wide at the grocery store :=]
