The economy

Obviously gas prices have been going through the roof lately and there has been all sorts of talk that groceries of all kind will be increasing due to high gas prices and the flooding in the Midwest. While I've noticed our overall grocery bill going up lately I haven't taken particular notice of specific items until this morning. Lincoln pointed out that the lemon peel spice he purchased the other day was $8.29. The old one that he was replacing (same brand, same size, purchased at the same store) had the old pricetag on it of $6.79.

Ugh.
