Inflation

Is a picture worth a thousands words? You be the judge.

Yeah, I should have added that in the first comment. It is a “dollar” store.

Maybe the dollar stores need a new approach to signage. This sign is very hard to update. Maybe they should just follow the lead of gas stations and have a variable “trademark.” You know, the “1 dollar, 1 quarter, 1 nickel” brand. Ops, sorry forgot the “9 mils.” No, that’s too expensive to change, as well. Instead, maybe they should just have a digital display and post the current exchange rate for a dollar store.

@ Ryuko: Lol, that was a good one…

@ FG: This is a really smart idea, I find images like this from time to time. Have you seen this site? http://www.someecards.com/

Is that true? Wow … everything is really going up down there in the States ..

@Barb: That’s really good. They can follow what gas stations are doing.

@ DT - Yeah despite the rise in gas, groceries, and almost everything else, I’ve found prices at Costco going down, too - a great plus.

As far as the $1.25 stores, has anyone noticed the gradual disappearance of the Dollar Menu @ McD’s? Used to be a cheap way to get a meal. It was the “Dollar & More!” menu for a while (wtf?), and now they’ve gotten rid of almost everything on the menu, including that mcmuffin I used to get for breakfast
