Wait for the 99 cent canteloupes and dollar-cost-average the whole grocery
bill downward. Buy 20 of them. :-)

Funny thing -- I had to buy a gallon of milk yesterday , $2.29 at Wegmans.
Recent weeks it's been on sale for $1.50. Now it costs more than gas

Oh....quiet. You don't appreciate the value of a gallon of milk until it
hits $3.50. :-)

It wasn't too long ago (the beginning of this month, to be exact)
that
the
stock market was worried that economic growth was strengthening so
quickly
that the Federal Reserve would have to boost interest rates -- the
sooner,
the better. Fears of higher interest rates sent stocks tumbling.

........ Much snipped


To make matters worse, the cost of most necessities is soaring. Food
prices
are up as much as 20 percent in some parts of the country, ditto for
health
care, while energy costs are simply through the roof.

In the face of all this, it is nothing short of amazing that there are
economists out there who are still looking for strong growth in the
months
ahead.

They must be looking out the rear window to where we've been -- not
through
the windshield at where we're going.
