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, 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. :) Boycotting Safeway is a good thing! :) Tell me you don't shop at Giant? |
