A few days ago, I was checking out at the local grocery store.I kept staring at the cash register screen as the subtotal kept climbing, and I looked at the bags wondering why so little is getting in the bags. As I looked around at other registers, I saw the same look of shock and surprise on other faces. Shocked to see how cost of simple grocery has increased so much. Like cost of gasoline, Food, utilities, and just about everything else. Including Tablecloths. Yes, over the past couple of years as the cost of everything that goes into our production has increased, we have also been forced to increase our prices. And with anyone questioning the reason for our price increase, the reply is “Cost of everything has increased”.

I feel like someone, somewhere and sometime must start acting to reverse things. So why not us, here and now!
