MEMORIAL DAY : SHOULD REMEMBER THE OLD PRICE OF GROCERIES?


I'm not sure most Americans are celebrating Memorial Day as
a remembrance of those who lost their lives fighting in our wars. 
Rather,
I think the day is perceived as a well earned day off,
 and a day to greet summer and to have
a picnic or barbeque outdoors.

The grocers are jammed with people buying 
hot dogs, chicken, ground meat for burgers, various
sodas and sparkling waters, fresh corn on the cob, eggs and potatoes for salad, and something else that has become unbelievably expensive lately : chips!

I suppose due to transportation costs, importing delays, the cost of living rising, and
an assortment of other issues, chips have become extremely expensive.

Looking closely at some of these products, it seems that the bags look about the same size but the ounces of product within has been reduced.

The leap of inflation has already made signs up at fast food restaurants
claiming up to $25. an hour pay a bit of a joke.
That's because a burger, fries, and a soda can easily cost $6.
