I bought some extra-lean ground beef yesterday at the market. It used to be five bucks a pound, now it was seven bucks a pound. Ther last batch I bought at COSTCO was only slightly more expensive than usual but had far more fat in it. Things are missing from store shelves and normally stocked items have become hit or miss. The only reason cigarettes and booze are cheaper here than in Canada is that in most states the taxes on them are far less confiscatory here. Your dollar is worth less (today it's only worth eighty cents) and you pay much higher taxes.Your sister can't afford eggs and produce??
Does she not earn at least $15 an hour?
Is she spending 6 bucks on a Big Meal Deal instead of 3 bucks on a dozen eggs?
The eggs provide the same nutrition for 12 days while the Meal Deal is only good for the day.
On a positive note for Americans, they get the other essentials such as alcohol and cigarettes for a low price!
