2. I've certainly noticed the rise in grocery prices, since the pandemic I only go once a week and to the same store

I remember when the pandemic first started, paper products really went up. At the very beginning I tried to pick up a 12 pack of toilet paper like I usually get, but the shelf was bare. So I went to the same chain in a second location and got the last package on the shelf, little did I know what we were in for. And, back then, it was $6.99. These days the same thing is $12.99, but it was on special this week for $8.99 so I got a pack whether I needed it or not.

Food prices have gone up, too, but that's what I noticed this week. Later at night I turn on old TV shows and they buy things in the grocery stores for less than a dollar which is sure a reminder. But I also agree that the president has done a great job - if anyone says otherwise, I remind them that with 36 years in the Senate and 8 years in the Executive branch, he's the most experienced president in our history, exactly what we need right now - these are tough times and he's had such a mess to clean up.
