Years ago, I lived in Montana. The family took the train to Saint Paul to visit family. It was a common thing back then, and people could afford to ride. I was a teen and never thought about it being a problem, I carried my 'stash' of silver dollars along to go shopping. We still used them at home, but the cash registers in St. Paul didn't have a place for them. I wish I had realized that the silver dollar was going to be worth more than a dollar, down the road. I could have used some of that knowledge.
Inflation has really decided to run wild, hasn't it? (Although I must say that silver and gold have not kept up with the toilet paper and bread) There are days when I not only think I live on a different world, I think I am in a different universe.
Just call me "Tired of sticker shock."
(It seems they change prices every month.)
Funny where me,ories come from eh?

ReplyDeleteOh dear. Chickens now? It was bad enough that looking for a good steak was like shopping at Tiffany's!
DeleteSometime I wonder where is it going to stop.
ReplyDeleteI don't think it ever will. They won't devalue the food as they did our houses.
DeleteI'm glad Gary does the grocery shopping. I am clueless and would like to stay that way. lol
ReplyDeleteOnce in a while he will leave the slips in a bag - scary! Prices higher and quantity in packages lower.
DeleteYou know, I think it's all going to come to a head one of these days, Sharon. It has too! Way too much imbalance in our society now. Something's going to BURST!
