[QUOTE="turkeyrun, post: 4121093, member: 27991"] 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. [/QUOTE]
