Hard to believe the first paragraph I read was from the NY Times. Do you know how bad it is when the Times admits people are spending more because grocery/gas prices are rising?
Bag of Tostitos at Target yesterday $4.69!! Needless to say I passed those by.
When I heard the numbers, the first thing I thought was “DUH! Of course consumer spending is up! I’m spending more for the same amount of groceries!” Or less, even!
