Now I know I need a cost of living raise, damm I bought One and the lady said $1.95. The 89 cents day are over, damm

:eek:

Everything is going up except my salary! :(

Everything is going up except my salary! :(


All the things that have went up this year

my rent-
shipping fees at post office
the soda machine at my job
chap stick
the nantucket juices at a local bagel shop
Comcast


Damm, can I make it to 2008 without something else going up?

Good question Solomon. I sent my husband to the grocery store Friday to pick up some essentials for the weekend. I figured we'd get the big order tomorrow. He came home with two bags, and it was $43. A tiny apple cost $1.18. Food, everything actually, has gone through the roof.

And people wonder why I fear for the direction our society is taking...

Like the song goes: We can't make it here anymore.

I use organic lip balm and it cost $5.75.. try to do something good for yourself and you could go broke. >>actually I take that back. I forgot I recently found a place that carries it for only $2.20.<<

Won't even get started on how much we're paying for a gallon of milk!

$2?! I don't think it's that expensive here... I know I can get Carmex for a little over $1.

Here too, I can get carmex at Walgreens for 97 cents here.

Some stores here sell Chapstick in a package of two...$1.99.
You can find some great bargains at Walgreens, Wal-mart, CVS, etc.

TELL ME ABOUT IT!!! :mad:

You can definitely get something chapstick-like for less than $1.95 but yes the 89 cent days are over. (Sigh...inflation inflation inflation...all across the nation.)

here in england, there is a store called asda who sell nivea chapsticks, or lipbalm sticks, which are so small and yet they cost- wait for it- £5 each! £5! what a rip off!:o i don't know how much that is when translated in US or canadian dollars, but hell just when you thought prices for goods were expensive in your neck of the woods, think again folks

That IS brutal! (It would work out to approx. $10 in North America).

I know I've been buying these tinted lip balms L'Oreal puts out. They're not really lipsticks - more of a sheer moisturizer thing but they go for $12.95 each! Cost of goods to make is probably about $0.89 each. :rolleyes:

You could probably make some yourself, if you put a little effort into it... Cheap too.

Actually as a teenager I used to. We used to mix red food colouring with petroleleum (sp?) jelly. It works great, but you have that gross taste of the jelly. lol
