Went out Thursday, went to Joann’s because my friend needed some things. She is a sewer. I am so not. LOL Anyway, I was tired and in pain and needed an energy boost. Checked the candy bars in the checkout line. 2.59 for a small almond snickers bar. 2.59. Did not buy. Went to Shaw’s after and the exact same bar was 1.59. Did not buy but not because of price. Everything else in Joann’s seemed excessively over-priced as well. Maybe this is why they declared bankruptcy. My friend mentioned that there were hardly any shoppers in there, either.

But then in Shaw’s, I was equally as appalled by the prices of a lot of things. How are people meant to feed their families, when greed is more important than anything else? I get why some things are more costly. Eggs, because of bird flu, products with flour, because a lot of it comes from the Ukraine, and they are kind of being decimated by Russia at the moment. But some things are just ridiculously overpriced.

And, here is an article I just came across:

Retailers jacked up prices and squeezed consumers. They might have just blinked (msn.com)

There are a lot of things I just don’t buy anymore, and there is only one local fast food place I still order from, because while they are more expensive than they were, it is not excessive, and the food is very, very good. They even make their own chicken soup, which I had while sick, and it was quite tasty. Even better the next day, too.

So greed is not good, in spite of what corporate America believes, and I hope they all pay the price for it, and soon.
