In the last couple of weeks I've seen more cars in the ditch than I usually see in a couple of winters; even though road conditions seem about typical for this time of year. It finally dawned on me what the likely cause is: a lot of people driving on worn-out tires this winter....
Never underestimate the stupidity of the average driver.Quote:

I had it happen 7 for 7 one day. I don't forget to watch them anymore.
Picked up coffee at Costco the other day, $12.99 for the same 48oz can I paid $9.99 several weeks back >:(
I predict the manufacturers will soon be stepping up the old switch a roo on package sizes to continue fooling the customers on price increases.
Ice cream now comes in 1.5 quart sizes versus the old standard 1/2 gal size.
Thomas Kemper Root beer comes in 4 packs versus the old standard 6 packs <-- I emailed them and was sent a reply that it was done for shelf space, they didn't reply too my reply of why didn't the price drop to reflect a much smaller package size. :oo-->
Kung Fu lessons just went up $10 FRN's/month

Sign at large restaurant supply store, open to public but they only sell food in bulk:
"Dear Customer, Due to rapid price changes from our suppliers, some of the items in our store may have different prices that what they are marked. Please check with one of our associates prior to checkout if you have any questions."
*Haven't seen canned roast beef available anywhere for months now.
*Getting harder to find plain frozen vegetables. It's primarily all smaller steamer bags; 'with cheese sauce', or other combos at ridiculous prices.
*Noticed a Wal-Mart carrying 25 lb. bags of wheat now, two different types. (Not sure how recently they began this, as I am only in that store a few times/year). There were 3 bags on the shelf, so I don't know if they maintain low inventory of it, or if it's a selling item.
*The "Fun Size" candy bars even shrunk! A mere morsel now. There's more packaging in a bag than product.
