Subject: RE: BS: Food: Inflation
On Monday I decided to give an older SUV a test drive. I had changed belts, hoses, starter, heater motor and alternator soon after buying it and wanted to see if it was reliable.

Wound up in a town with a Wal*Mart Super Store.

Hard to believe but most food items are less than half of what I pay at the local grocery store. One example, the exact same 16 oz pkg of pasta was $1.08 for which I have been paying $2.29!

A special trip will cost about $20, but break-even would be $40. I will probably spend $400 next visit. Go Wal*Mart!
