Near four bucks is more than I’m willing to pay but for those who are willing that’s their choice. The free market and free people will decide. I’m an engineer and attorney so I will leave economics arguments up to qualified economist here. I personally would prefer any food benefit programs go towards wholesome foods, but to each their own preferences

Remember D Day God bless those who gave their lives for our freedom may they rest in peace

I don’t know if it’s “lower than ever” I think I saw 4.3 % today which beats the over 9% some time back. I will tell you about inflation however , when I was a kid many moons ago candy bars were a nickel but I think mounds (2 small bits) were a dime grrr. Fountain cokes were also a nickel but cherry cokes a dime. Local movie theatre was 15 cents for kids 25 for adults. Later it raised to 25 and 50

Best wishes yall

I can remember when a small cone at the Dairy Queen was a nickel, a large one was a dime, and for a quarter you could get one so big that a kid couldn't eat it all!

Well the stack of cream either fell over, dripped down over your hand before you could get it all licked up, or caused the cone to crumble if using the yellow, not brown reinforced cones.....course they were smaller....a reason to not buy that cone....and on the drips, just be a fast licker of the dripping...........

When I was in High school I would walk down to the local drug store pretty regular and get me a hot fudge sundae for 25 cents.
Most candy bars were a nickel but once in a while I would "splurge" and get me an Almond Joy or a Peter Paul Mounds which cost 10 cents.
'course a dollar was worth a whole heck of a lot more back in the late 50s. LOL

,,, and the small size "Chunkys" were two cents. gm
