He would be doing very fast turns in his grave if he had known.
Our groceries have gone up by more than $50 per shop. We try to go every fortnight and we have been having to spend $450 plus. We shop for 3 (our youngest daughter is still with us). We were going through the checkout about 4 months ago and the checkout girl asked us if we had noticed the bill was up more than it used to be and we had to agree that it had. Co-Vid was a handy excuse for price rises but really are things still priced up now? There was an article I read that said that on-line spending had gone through the roof due to Co-Vid but did you also note the huge increase in Freight? Why....if they are doing more why couldn't the price decrease? Greed? Why did our fuel go up when Russia went into the Ukraine? Why did that skirmish have world wide repercussions?
I don't have any answers just a lot of questions that no one wants to answer honestly
