Holy highway robbery, Batman
« on: February 02, 2014, 08:06:11 AM »
Went into the store last night and had a case of severe sticker shock

A one pound package of Oscar Mayer bacon was $8! Eight freakin dollars for a plain package of bacon

Price increases driven by shortages are not inflation.

Yup....bacon prices have been high down here in Texas for sometime.  Can't even touch thick cut or peppercorn bacon for under ten dollars.

Heh... At the store I work at bacon is only 5.99 for 12 slices and a gallon of milk is only 2.99.


Then again I live in Wisconsin.

Scarcity? Then it would seem we have a scarcity all over the place, food, fuel, clothing, commodities, etc, etc.

$4.99 here... Store brands are about $4. Watch for sales, typically $2.99 for a pound.
