Because that's what we Americans do. We blame our government for all our problems, so we don't have to shoulder it ourselves. We keep looking for a leader who can "fix" things for us to our satisfaction, never finding one because he/she doesn't exist.
Well, I was at the airport in Bozeman and I picked up a key ring for 3.99 with the sticker right on it. Well the cashier couldnt bend it straight to read it with the scanner gun so she ripped it off and charged me 4.99. I had to catch a flight so had to run but checked the receipt and saw it, not a big amount, but why would she do that...I was finishing up my swing set for the kids and needed some snap links. They were 11.99 a PIECE!!! Lady at the register said they just went up to 14.99!!!. I am glad they honored the 11.99. I went to my local ACE because I did not feel like driving further to a Lowes. Not sure if it would have been a lot cheaper.

What insane prices are you paying for simple items like this? maybe we can start sharing where the discounts are at, if any.
Maybe not the balloon. Helium shortage, you know. Helium is in such short supply that the National Weather Service has cut back on launching weather balloons.
Dollar tree helium balloons were a buck until a couple months ago. Now, like most stuff in the store, have gone up to $1.25. Still a bargain.
Yeah it was! I had the bacon cheddar burger and the pierogi and the 2 beers, and some chips. I was stuffed.Mmmmm YUMMY
Was in one of my local $1.25 Trees last week. Sign on the door said they were out of helium, so couldn't fill balloons. No word on when, or if, they would get more.
