I think so. Bought some Rain-x wiper blades for the Vert today from Advance Auto. 15% off online coupon, $10 speed bucks discount, total just over $47. List price was $30 per. What happened to buying a pair? I think the pendemaic has become an excuse to over-inflate prices of goods, because they can.

Yeppers absolutely the truth... And frankly I believe since alot of companies are foreign heod now we're seeing exactly what they care about us... Nothing and will attempt to bleed us dry.

Artificially raised prices... Well since Company Bob did it so we can too and nobody will notice nor care, we'll tell them supply chain issues and wage increases caused it. :bslap:

Go to Dollar Tree. They are leading the way. Many things that were a package of 2 for $1 and now sold separately. 9volt batteries and cake pan racks and such

Nope, supply & demand, prices are set at the margins. The dumbest mofo wanting a widget and having the means, sets the price, generally speaking.

Government shutting down the economy and and then supplying it with artificial demand (the means), has ****ed the economy seven ways to Sunday. And they are still ****ing around with it in more ways then we can fathom.

Government is the problem…. The end.

Or, you could just not buy it...

Other than food, which we stocked the freezer a long time ago, or we're growing our own veggies, we've cut back drastically.

Blame me for the recession. I'm ok with that.

Those deer and elk that wander through the yard? They won't be lucky.

I have never, and will not ever, go to anything called the "Dollar Tree".
