I admit it. ANYWAY, EVERYTHING WAS MORE EXPENSIVE except the marked down cereal and potato chips. I noticed the already recently downsized ice cream was down to 1.5quarts from the skimpy 1.75 they changed to from the 2 it was just 5 years ago (for the same price). And the generic is down to the 1.75 quarts. AND APPARENTLY the people at Walmart cannot do math because the price per ounce are NEVER ACCURATE. I am a price per ounce/unit of measure girl because I'm, you know, cheap, that way.<BR/><BR/>KEEP BELIEVINGAngie @ KEEP BELIEVINGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00930977696454848345noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7919889744528028610.post-78967902167406554492008-05-29T21:32:00.000-07:002008-05-29T21:32:00.000-07:00Seriously, you should be an epidemiologist, that i...Seriously, you should be an epidemiologist, that is some impressive surveillance you did there.
