Greedflation? You mean like Hot Dog Buns, regular $33 a dozen "On Sale" for only $27 a dozen?

/\ That's because they are "gluten-free". Ridiculous price though. I'd just eat the damn wiener as is without the stupid bun.
Anything that has buzzwords attached to it justifies charging more it seems.

The success was convincing people without Celiac disease that gluten is bad.

Lady next door complained to the MoreOn Foods manager that they never, ever had the things in their promos in stock. She was told that people in this town were stupid if they expected to get the items they saw online here.
Today they has fresh donuts "on sale" half a dozen for $6.49. There is no bakery in this store....

I remember stuporstore would book us in on the nights where clocks changed, and they would book us in one hour early in the fall, and not pay us for the hour we gained in the spring.
Yea, it was only two hours, but when you multiply by the number of people on the midnight shift, they made plenty of money. And the limp dicked Union let them.

Jeez cookies are now 250g a box instead of 400g 2/$5 and 'on sale' for #4.99 each.
And they're smaller and taste even more like cardboard.
They had a big display of some new candy bar with Smarties in it beside the checkout. $5.49 ea. and smaller than a 2.5" laptop drive. $6.99/lb for red, green or yellow peppers.
