How many of you pay over $4.00 a gallon for milk? If you look at the prices we have to pay for just about anything we purchase these days it is astronomical compared to what we paid say 30 or so years ago and even 2 years ago. Eggs...$2.00, Three of four dollars for a pound of bacon and then bread plus orange juice. That's just breakfast folks.
All things are relative and today we pay more for everything than we ever believed we would have too. Remember when gas prices rose so high and everything we bought went up for the cost of transportation.
Sooooo for me, I try and find what I want on sale but if not I decide how much I truly want something and that makes the decision easy for me. Sometimes yes, sometimes no.
