I can't say as I agree with your politics, but I certainly agree with this.  I
definitely don't see groceries going down in price.  I go to the store and come
home with $200 some bucks of groceries and it's only like three bags.  It's
pathetic.

Interesting that chips are the topic, because I was at a supermarket and a bag
of Dorito's was around $7.  I refused to buy it, that was nuts.  Sam's
thankfully has them for four something, so I got them there.  Of all the things
that got me, seeing Dorito's at $7 was it, lol.  

Oh, and God forbid I want lunchmeat.  I like Boar's Head; the maple glazed
honey coat ham and turkey and the buffalo BBQ chicken breast... very yummy.
But it's like $15 and change per pound now!  (sob)
