Sticker Shock: The King and I went grocery shopping. We went to get our staples so to speak. Meaning those things you buy fairly often. And all I can say is holy flaming cows!!!! The margarine we normally buy, which we did buy 2 weeks ago.. was $1.69 at that time. Today… it is $3.19!!!! A $1.50 jump! Cheese, we buy Jalapeño Jack cheese by Tillamook. At our usual store..it has been $6.99. Today, it was on sale for $8.99 with the price listed below of normal..$9.94. Two flaming dollars more. Apples, were 89 cents 2 weeks ago when we bought some. Today …$1.49. Corn 89 cents each.. use to be 2 for $1/ Cis , From A Simple Mind. More here .
