The price of everything keeps going up.

I know what you mean. When my internet bill went to $81, I called Time Warner and said I would cancel without a significantly better price. I said I could easily live without it given the numerous hot spots, free wifi at libraries and where I work. They lowered it to $56, which I can live with. This rate is good for 12 months, and if I don't get another promo in a year, I WILL cancel then!

has any one noticed that blu rays & dvds gone up in price? i recently brought goosebumps on blu ray / dvd but when it first came out it was like $23 bucks i was kind of shocked cause it wasn't like an disney movie but now i got it the next week they had it on sale for $15 bucks on blu ray!! thats why im kind of wondering if i should pre order the star wars force awakens or wait see if target wal mart or best buy puts it on sale? but its an disney movie so i figured it be at least $25 to $30 bucks!! im not going to pay $30 bucks for star wars!! i really don't consider my self big star wars nerd like lot people are!!

OH NUTS, My comcast cable bill has gone up from $172. to 218.00. I grumbled to the lovely rep but she could only lower my bill $4.00 but said I could get 1 new free converter/dvr and 1 new converter box, both with new features. So I said send them along. I did say the postage might a bit but she said no we take care of postage for sending you the new and you send us back the old at no charge. The price is a lot but I try to see a lot too.

I think commodities like shampoo and washing powder which you can buy from the pound shop (I guess it's the $ shop where you are) have never been cheaper in real terms. However the price of utilities such as gas, electric and water have shot up exponentially since they were privatized here in the 1980s.

That's why I order from ebay when I want a DVD not amazon
