Reply #9: Yes, it is totally outrageous...

I have noticed prices steadily climbing in the past six months.

There are certain items in our store that have risen 100 percent. The price of basics,
such as eggs, milk, bread, fruit, veggies--are through the roof.

I pay close attention to prices, because I belong to a coupon club and we're kinda
nutty about it. We also pay attention packaging portions--and that's another way
the consumer is being screwed. Cereal boxes are getting smaller, as is other
packaging. Toilet paper and paper towels are shrinking as well. So, in addition
to prices skyrocketing--you're getting less for those higher prices, in many cases.
