You know grocery prices are bad when Joe's not even saying we're saving 16¢ on our 4th of July cookout this year.
Here is my true story attesting to this. Back in the late seventies we used to have to watch every penny spent as I was not making much then. My wife would carry a "clicker" to the grocery basically to avoid the embarrassment of putting something back because our money was so tight, be we survived and got by. I swear to you we were in line behind some person with two piled high carts of everything, and lots of meat. made our measly 3/4 cart look starving. I watched the checkout lady add up the person's bill which tallied over two hundred dollars, I thought damn that's a lot for groceries, only to see the person whip out the stamps. As if that was not insulting enough, we got to our car to unload coincidently parked next to that same person loading into a sparkling new caddie THAT STILL HAD THE TEMP TAGS! We finished putting our measly food cart of food into my HOOPTIE and drove off.
