I know everything is relative, but I wonder what the cost of a meal compares — in ratio to earnings, and how different it is from years past. Just wondering. Is it like the cost of a quart of milk is higher than it was 20 years ago -— but so are earnings.

Off topic — The parenthesed comment, after my name, is gone. How does one add one? I’ve looked all over FR, but can’t find how to do it and I don’t remember how I did it in the first place!

When you post your comment, there is a box under the comment box for ‘tagline.’. Type what you want your taggy to say, and when you post your ‘comment’ it (the tagline) will magically appear.

You asked about milk. Gosh, I can’t remember but if you pay regular price it is about $4 per gallon.

Salaries have not gone up that much that I can tell either.

I just heard today that a traditional Thanksgiving meal in Arizona is about 8% more than the national average of what people are paying in other states.
