Just came back from Kroger today...prices on some items have gone up...do you think it's because the value of the dollar has gone down? Maybe. I just read today that China started to trade with another country in yuan, not in dollars. Shredded cheese, Kroger brand on sale is now $2.59 for an 8 oz package; cost of spam went up also to $2.69. Who cares about spam? I do, it's easy to fix & eat. Don't they serve that in restaurants in Hawaii? Yes, they do. But there are certainly good buys in Kroger today, e.g., beef ( chuck pot roast) is buy one get one free. This is really a great price!; Keurig caribou kcup ( 12 ) is $6.99 ( previously $8.99), a very good buy; some green mountain kcup is also on sale at $6.99, a really good price. Hilshire polska kielbasa is 2 for $4.00. There might be other items on sale that I did not see since I was in a hurry. Sale ends on Sunday 3/22.
Other stop was an Asian store, double dragon rice 20 lbs was $19.99 which was $12.99 before; kyongi rice 40 lbs was $24.99 which was $19.99 before. I do not know if I am the only one that is griping about prices...packages of items are getting smaller & prices are going up. One can easily spend $ 50 nowadays with only one or two items! Yikes!!! What can we do? Anyone??
Another thing that has gone up is medicine, I did not have a copay before Obamacare on generic but now, AFTER OBAMACARE, it is $19.25 for a 90 day supply! Premiums also has doubled and the benefits are not that great..high copay, etc...Isn't that ironic...the affordable care is not affordable....why do the politicians call it affordable, perhaps they do not know what the word " affordable" means? For them, it might be affordable since they are millionaires but for ordinary folks like me, it is outrageous and insane!! So, what will people do...buy food or buy medicine? Goodness gracious!!! I hope and pray that Obamacare will be repealed!!!
What is going on?
....High prices on food, gas, healthcare.
....High unemployment
....US dollars devalued
....Crazy weather all over
I can enumerate other things but I think I might run out of space, so I will stop now. I just hope and pray that things will get better...am I being overly optimistic? Probably...you guys tell me...I think I am done for now....
Let us all pray for world peace. May God bless each and everyone of us!!!!
