A few days back a woman was criticized about her groceries costing more. I stand with her. Not only are prices higher, packaging has been being reduced for several years. Fortunately we can afford the higher prices, however, when I purchase bacon I don't want 12 Oz. The same goes with OJ and ice cream, remember when they came in half gallon containers. The list of items goes on and on, so before you folks comment do your homework. Great post lady.
