This has not much to do with anything but,I went into Dollar General the other day for a gift bag. They are no longer everything is a $1 but everything is $1.25!
It might not seem like much but that's a 25% increase!
Why back in my day if a store was a dollar store, it was a dollar store.
Holy moly I'm getting old
and get off my lawn!
