I didn't figure on the difference in money. I guess him calling it dollars threw me.
I agree still a little high.

It went up to $11.00 here, just another step in this state/country's assault on small businesses. Now there is talk of up to 6 months mandatory paid leave to care for a family member; paid for by a .75% tax on everybody's wages.

I put up the big mac to put it into some sort of perspective, the medium size meal with a shake (yuck) AU$12 with some variation between areas.
No mercy if you smoke with 20 cigarettes starting at around AU$35, glad I am not an addict.

I have purchased the same brand of dog food for my last two dogs. The big bag used to be 40 lbs and now it just went from 28 to 25 lbs. I am now paying more for 25 lbs than I used to pay for 40 lbs.

Shrinking packaging is not all bad,, 
When I first got a water softener,, the salt came in 80 pound bags,, that was 1982.
I used to tote the bags to the basement like nothing,,
Well,, if it were not for the present 40 pound salt bags,, I would not be able to soften my water,, :laughing:
one 40 pound bag at a time,, also,, :confused2:

Bags of cement/concrete went the same way for OHS reasons.

The good news is as I have gotten older, I have really come to appreciate those 40 lb bags of concrete and water softener salt. As stated above the 80 pounders didn't bother me much when I was young, but I can't really handle them any more. I remember the 100 lb sacks of horse and mule feed I used to handle as a "child", and the 100+ pound alfalfa bales the really mean farmers would have us kids buck up on the wagons, but that is all in the past. We kids (teenagers) would really get "pissy" with the farmers when ever the bales got over 80 lbs, but some of the nasty ones would be over 100. I put up a lot of bales on wagons and unloaded them by hand into barns for 2 cents each. I never did get to drive the tractor. I stacked on the wagon some, but mostly just "bucked" bales from the ground to the moving wagon. I don't know how I survived it. Young and stupid I guess.

No, substitute fitter for stupid, we just refuse to acknowledge it:thumbsup:
At least now we have our friend "Hydraulics" to help us out.
