About a year ago I was paying $1.64 for a quart of half and half it then went to $1.74 then $1.98 and now $2.24. Sure as hell about a 37% increase. You can get it cheaper at Food Lion and I don't have to pay to shop there. So much for low cost.
Common Sense folks. It does take a while to filter through the system. Don't hold you breath on the low gas prices; they will go back up, probably sooner than you think.
Prices, on most items, weren't raised "immediately" when gas prices started going up. hmmmmmm.
IF they go down it will probably take time. Most shipping companies have contracts and use fleet cards at places like pacific pride and get a set price per gallon for a set period of time. Prices will not go down until those contracts expire and can be renegotiated at a lower cost, assuming gas prices are lower at the time.
I'm with 441 something stinks... here don't count your chickens before they hatch... prices will rise again...but not before they get some of it back somehow we will pay...can anyone remember milage tax?...they wre already talking gas tax....
Milk's $3.49/gal.@ Giant; was well over $4/gal. last time we stopped by Walmart, which was on the way home. & getting ready to go fuel up @ .15/gal. w/my Giant points!! Nope, not a typo. $2.20 off per gal.

ReplyDeleteSince the minimum wage increase the cost to eat out has gone up.
ReplyDeleteYa think?
ReplyDeleteAlso have not seen a removal of Fuel Surcharges that were added over the years by many delivery and service companies.
ReplyDeleteIn 1972, Milk, bread, and a gallon of gas were all about the same price.
ReplyDeleteDo the math from there.
