I agree the prices keep going up and the contents keep going down.
I went out on disability in 2004 because I lost my central vision after a stroke and 5 blood clots including my lungs. My husband retired to drive me to all of the appointments.
At first it wasn't too bad. We got by ok and had a mini (weekend) vacation every year. But with no raise in SS and with the jump in prices we can't even do that. We don't go out to dinner, etc.
I am a big coupon shopper, but they are making so many that you have to buy 2 for 50 cents. That is ridiculous!
What really ticks me off is when our local grocery store has a sale on something, like Italian Bread for $1.00 save 25 cents. Then the next week it is $2.00.
Also, I have my husband read the expiration dates especially the dairy items. When they have a sale, the expiration date is usually the following Monday or Tuesday.
What do they think we are stupid! How much more do they think the normal taxpayer can pay?
Now they are charging 5 cents a bag and we have a 5 cent deposit on water bottles.
