Oh Wow!

February 13th, 2009 at 02:23 am

Have any of you noticed a recent upsurge in grocery prices? I know that most prices have been going up for awhile, but it seemed to have leveled off for the most part.

I've been looking for a bottle of Martinelli's Sparkling Cider. I like to have that for special occasions - such as birthdays and holidays. Usually Walmart carries it,and it's around $3 for a bottle.

Walmart doesn't seem to carry it anymore. So tonight I decided to stop in Tom Thumb and see if they had it.

They did. For $8.99!!! Yeah - like I'm going to pay $9 for a bubbled version of apple juice. NOT!

Something strange I noted though at Walmart yesterday. The Ben & Jerry's ice cream had risen to nearly $3.34 for a pint at one point. Yesterday, they had it for $2.75!

    Cans of cat food I buy was 54 cents two weeks ago and now it's 65 cents.

    Yeah, here too. Prices went up "because of fuel costs" and never came down again. Coffee stayed high as did all produce here.

    I'm not seeing as many mark-downs or as many good sales.

    If you are ever near an Ikea, check out the grocery section. They have good bubbly fruit drinks at reasonable prices (tho it's not Martinelli's).

    I've noticed an increase in prices in Colorado too. I don't know why, as fuel prices are half of what they were when that was a cause of increased prices. I fear this is the way things are going to be for some time.

    scfr -I work(ed) right across the tollway from an Ikea - never thought about checking there for a bubbly fruit drink.
