   Yeah, I feel it too on a fixed income. Some of it is inflation and some   
   of it is profiteering. It is a good opportunity for businesses to raise   
   prices substantially more than the increases passed on to them by their   
   suppliers.   
      
   I like Progresso soups. My local supermarket (Giant, which is not high   
   end) sells them for $4.49 a can, up about $2.00 from about two years   
   ago. Dollar General sells them for $2.50 while WalMart sells them for   
   $2.19 a can. Why the disparity? There costs should be pretty much the same.
