I remember buying a bottle of RC cola, a small bag of Tom's peanuts to dump in the bottle, and a vanilla Moon pie for a quarter at the Coop while waiting to dump a load of wheat.Jesus! How old are you?
Not that long ago, a decent sale on soft drinks was 4 for $10.
I drank a lot of RC, as a kid. The little grocery store, close to our house, had RC for $0.12 / can. Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper were $0.15.
I quit smoking when Marlboro went to $7 / carton. Too much money. Put the $7 / week into a jar a paid for deer lease.
Wif's sister was getting divorced, had 2 small kids. She asked for budgeting help. Pre-Starpuke days, she would stop at convenience store, every morning and get a large coffee and 2 packs of Marlboro for $10, $300 / month.
Explained to her, grocery store has Marlboro for $8.50 carton. 10 packs / week. $34 / month. Mr. Coffee machine $10, $3 bag of coffee, 2 / month. Rent is covered.
Her response, "how did you do that?"
Took her a couple months, she figured it out and done OK.
The hardest part for today's citizens is Pedo Joe's 22% inflation. Regardless of how good a job you have. Very few have seen their pay go up 22% in the past 2 years.
The deniers, claiming things are better, are completely beyond comprehension. Don't listen to media, live under a rock, one trip for gas and groceries proves Pedonomics is screwing everybody. Those that were getting by, barely getting by, struggling or suffering are being affected the most and worst.

I wonder that every day myself. It gets worse every day.
Because they have government money and don't have to work for it.

"I used to buy Marlboro for $1.50 a carton. Cold Pop was A dime." Showing your age there, OkieTool? 
That's ok, I got you beat.
When I was just seven years old, my dad bought gasoline here in OKC for nineteen cents ($0.19!) per gallon. The reason I remember that is... he griped about it the whole time!

One. So pigs aren't scavengers like chickens.
