***ME*** shift the conversation? You're talking about mortgage rates
while I'm telling that freight rates have increased 30% in 40-ish
months*, and you're making like it's a non-event.

*A number of months which is not a coincidence, by the way.

How much has the cost of groceries gone up at your local grocery store
in
the last two years?

On which products in particular? An average would be meaningless.

Well, let me put it this way - about 100%.

I'll let you know when we buy our annual "basket". That is to say, we
buy the same thing, in one basket, every year just to see how much
more we pay year-to-year. We do it every year the weekend after Labor
Day.

Last year it was just shy of 80%.

Tom, this is impossible. Please listen to Bert.

It could be that the shipping costs are not as high as you think.
How much would it cost for you to ship your juice to NYOB in FL? How
much does the shipping cost increase the cost of the goods in FL?

Sorry, but the semester ended at 4:49 PM today. Grab a shovel. Dig up
your mommy and ask her to remind you how to keep up with your
lessons, pendejo.
Your current condition and situation is due to your arrogant and
superior attitude is it now?
Until you can describe the aforementioned condition, it doesn't exist,
pendejo.
You know what I am talking about!


Pendejo!
Hit a nerve didn't I?


ROFL! WTF are you talking about, Mr. Trailer Park? You still can't seem to
explain the "current condition" you've mentioned so many times.

It is current condition and situation.

Why are you resorting to name calling and attempted put downs?

I'm honoring your explicit request for such treatment. Don't focus on the
words. Focus on the meaning.

Tom, were 80% of the items priced higher, or was the total price 80%
higher?

If the latter, you've gotta quit buying tomatoes at Safeway!

Total price.

And we don't buy anything at Safeway. :)

When purchasing produce you are *always* better off shopping at locally
owned grocery stores or farmers stands and staying away from the large
regional chains.

We buy our produce at our local Heinen's store (16 stores total, all in the
general area and locally owed) or the local farmers stands when in season.
Heinen's purchases produce daily from the downtown food terminal and it is
therefore much fresher than with the large chains who buy it, warehouse it
at their main distribution points (sometimes several States away), then
eventually ship it to their stores.
