I hope this is just an inaccurate rumor cause it's hard to stockpile chocolate....if it's in sight it is meant to be eaten! And if it's held at above about 70 degrees you may encounter the unsightly fat blooming (looks discolored/greyish from the fat rising to the surface)

Ugh! Don't need it daily, but when I need it hard to not think about it. Ever see the shows on TV and the cocoa bean harvesting? You would think there was a shortage. Wait, you can go into a retailer and think that, what with the price of the stuff! Lucky me, I got a 3 lb 8 oz bag (lotta chocolate!) of Kisses and a tulip plant yesterday from DH. I told him he didn't need to get me Dove chocolates this year (my favorite). He must have thought I was still asking for the chocolate, just a different kind... lol
I did hear that the price of cotton was going up. Can't imagine paying more for cotton fabric!

I see cotton is double the price it use to be.
Spend NOW while you money can still buy something.
Or put it in the bank and watch it depreciate
