It really wasn't that long ago. I remember Kili saying they were
paying almost 7 bucks a gallon maybe two years ago. Aldi just raised
their price to $1.79 from $1.49. I see Valli produce out in the burbs
has Dean's for $1.99. Dean's is almost never on sale. Wisconsin
cheeses are dirt cheap too. They've got a Wisconsin American on sale
for $1.99. So you can get real cheese cheaper that than Kraft
singles. I can't complain about the cheap prices but something has to
give.

I'm sure in the short term it will.
