Other prices are going up like food, medications clothing etc etc. I am sure glad we have a Walmart were the prices make it affordable. Personally we have had to cut back on many things we always buy. I haven't had a garden for a long time and this year I will be making a big garden and doing lots of canning. Maybe its time we go straight back to the farmer. I firmly believe we need to keep our fabric stashes huge till this economy finely levels out.

Yep, everything seems to be going up. But I haven't seen an increase on my paycheck for a couple years. And there was no Holiday gift certificate either.

I know sugar went up! I bought a bag a couple of days ago, generic mind you, and $3.79 for 5 pounds! WHAT?! I don't get it, I really don't! They say the price increase is because of the people being obese. They even called it a "fat tax" on all sugar containing items!

There have been several posts about Priority Flat rates going up. However, I just went onto USPS website & the rate is still $4.95 at the post office & $4.75 if printing label on line.

I did print several Priority labels on Jan 2nd & was only charged the $4.75

UPS went up 4.5% this month, FedEx soon to go up also. I'm so used to it that I've come to expect it. If a price goes down, I notice!!

food companies are reducing product but keeping the same price hoping the consumer won't notice

And you have to watch out for the size decrease along with the price decrease. For instance: a POUND can of coffee holds 12 to 13 oz,. I have seen some four pound bags of sugar and Half gallons of ice cream holding several ounces less. Beware of NEW Packaging cause it often hides something.

It has at AC 81413. Not stamps, just flat rate.
