Saturday

If feels to me like prices have been climbing, sizes shrinking and variety has been dwindling consistently since COVID, and never really went back. I really don't feel like I know what a lot of things should cost anymore. This is just more insult added to injury. Short of something breaking, I'm not buying anything at all and I'm starting to get use to doing just that. A lot of things just aren't available anymore, ans the replacements are smaller, carppier and have less value.
