Target adopts the 12 ounce pound
One of the things i really liked at Target was their frozen green beans. I would
toss in a handful whenever I felt like vegetable soup. They were consistently 99 cents a pound. Well, now they have switched to the "steampack' package, where you can nuke the whole package at once, which i have no interest in doing. The price is still 99 cents, only now for 12 ounces instead of a pound. A whole pound would cost 33 cents more, so I figure this pack represents a 33% increase. |

It's getting incredibly easy to spend 40 bucks at a time on groceries and feel like you didn't end up with much of anything. |

It's getting incredibly easy to spend 40 bucks at a time on groceries and feel like you didn't end up with much of anything. I have located the actual food inflation number, and it ain't 1%. http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2014-0...es-are-19-2014 |
