It’s funny going to the grocery store with my husband… he turns into some 90something year old curmudgeon complaining about the costs of things. “I remember when such and such only cost 30 cents…” stuff like that… really funny since he’s only about to turn 38. Since getting married, he no longer does much grocery shopping. In our house… as the designated cook, I do the groceries. If left to him, I would find I had nothing with which to make for dinner but lots of fruit in the fridge and junk food in the pantry with little of anything else in between.

But I do agree that the costs of groceries is getting to the point of absurd… my current big complaint is toilet paper. Obviously a necessity you cannot forego… but a pack of TP ounce for ounce has to be as expensive as gold or something… It cost me over 17 dollars for a 12-pk mega-roll of Charmin’s Ultra… Sure I could go with lesser brands… but you end up using twice as much on the nasty cheap stuff and I’ve discovered it’s all a wash in the end…(no pun intended) so may as well treat your backside with something a little nicer… (lovely topic this!)

Did you know that at the turn of the 20th Century, the Sears Roebuck Catalog out sold the Bible? Yes, mainly for it’s handy use as toilet paper in… popularity of the catalog plummeted when they went to glossy paper… glossy paper not being terribly useful in the TP arena…
