Well, all I know is what's in my wallet. And it's getting to be less and less. Regular size bag of Funyuns today at the Dollar Store cost me $1.49. A buck forty-nine!! Smokes went up .10 per pack! Gas went up .10 per gallon. When did all the price increases go into effect? Jan. 02, 2013 Fiscal cliff??? Rich getting richer. Poor getting poorer.
